The Arabic Society football team are back-to-back league champions, proving their class and domination in the intramural league! The team, captained by Atef Nouar, have had an impressive run since November & managed to maintain a winning streak of eight games and jump to first place to bring the trophy back home. Not to mention having the best offensive stats (scoring 30+ goals) thanks to a lethal upfront with the goal-scoring machines trio Hakim T Mansuri, Mario Habchi & Rashid Al-Najem. The team is going on a run for the 3rd title this term by continuing their constant outstanding performance.

DON’T MISS OUT ON THE REFRESHERS FAIR TODAY, from 12PM to 4PM ‼️‼️‼️ It’s your chance hear all about our planned events for this semester, ask all the questions in mind, and sign up. To sum up our previous semester in a sequential order- we’ve managed to meet lots of you at our society booth in Freshers Fair, followed by a huge turnout with around 150 individuals showing up the week afterwards at our first event for the year in the mEAT & Greet. Our trip to Bath was a huge hit as well, with great positive feedback as the destination appealed to different preferences all in all (and some ended up gaining much more than a new destination to scratch off the UK map, but winning raffle-prizes including VIP tickets to watch Whonhu Chung live in London). Not to forget the mixed gender multi-sports tournament, which had lots of friendly (& by nature, competitive) games including basketball & volleyball taking place. We’d like to acknowledge the participation in Charity Week (by serving traditional food at the Food Festival), as well as running the weekly football tournaments and the arrival of the new kits, in addition to the girls sports sessions, including the jog and football tournament (which will definitely continue next semester on a more frequent basis). On that note, the next semester holds lots of new and different activities and events in store. 🥁 See you today!!!

The Arabic Society has managed to get its members a deal to the next big event live in LONDON on the 25th of November, featuring the award-winning stand-up comedian Wonho Chung- ‘who was born to South Korean and Vietnamese parents in Saudi Arabia yet grew up in Jordan’. Don’t miss out on a night full of laughter and his well-known bilingual charm, from 7:30pm at Cadogan Hall. Whereby the deal offered to the Arabic Society members is that you’d be able to buy tickets for £15 by using the promo code 'usd’. http://www.cadoganhall.com/event/wonho-chung-181125/
