The 1st - 2nd October brought one of the biggest events for any Fresher starting at the university, Freshers' Fayre, and the difficult choice of deciding which clubs or societies to join.

After a very successful previous year, the Ski and Snowboard Club were on the prowl, looking to improve on last year, with more numbers and greater talent. And you could hardly have missed us; the UPSSC committee members wore their bright orange and black T-shirts and passed out goodie bags, flyers and fresher T-shirts.

With fellow boarders from the Wakeboard Club and the Skate 'n' Longboard Society next to us, we dominated the Freshers' tent and had an awesome time, talking to the masses about the sports that we love.

There was a lot of drinking and the lovely sound of ex-president Marcy Marc as the Extreme Sports DJ, making sure that we were the loudest and proudest club in Portsmouth!

After two days of signing, singing, talking, shouting and drinking the UPSSC committee and helpers managed to sign up an enormous 280 members, with an additional 20+ members since then. We have smashed our target of 300 members for this year.

We look forward to the year ahead of us, with major competitions, fun times on the slope, and drunken antics and tomfoolery in our socials as well...

Many Thanks to all that helped out at Freshers' Fayre, especially Sherman, Justin, Jess, Poppy and Bex.
