When people first go to uni they get usually get sucked into the Fresher's Fayre and end up signed up to a whole load of teams and groups and societies that they probably won't keep up with throughout the year.

When I was at uni, I remember joining the badminton society just because it was a reasonable sport that I could play without being particularly sporty. I didn't join the team but I went to the group sessions where we'd all play in singles or groups and it was good fun.

Then it became obvious who had actually just joined for the social side! We met a few different people who had just joined so they could go on 'tour' - a trip where all the sports societies go to an international sports meet, which was basically a week of drinking at the beach watching the cheerleading team practice their bow and arrow and heel stretches!
