Another major event is the Sports Ball where all the sportsmen and women get really pissed and lose the medals and cups that they were awarded in the prizegiving. The Hockey, Rugby, Football and Rowing clubs also host Annual Balls or Dinners.

- Clubs & Societies:
- Clubs and Societies at the Cambridge Campus should satisfy most tastes - there are about forty in total including the all the usual sporting, musical, cultural, religious and academic societies. If this doesn't suit, you can join University of Cambridge Clubs and Societies. However if you play hockey then you may as well play for the home teams as they are top of the Cambridge College league.
The Chelmsford Campus isn't so good for diversity as there are only about fifteen Clubs and Socs. Sports Clubs include: Badminton, Cricket, Football, Hockey, Rugby, Skiing and Squash. If you want to do more than just study, try and get a course based at the Cambridge site!
