Sports Union Semester 2 Update
Hello Sports Union! It's been a seriously long time since my last newsletter, not because I don't love you all, just because there has been so much going on!
Let's take a quick look back at the Semester so far...
We've had four of our biggest events during February and March; Lead 2014, Sports Ball, The Glasgow Taxis Cup and RUSC.
Sports Ball was, once again, an incredible evening with the most attendees we have ever had. Thanks to everyone who made an appearance. It was really nice to see everyone so smart in their best outfits (even if everyone wasn't on their best behaviour...). For anyone who missed it our Awards were as follows:
Sportsman of the Year – Robbie Renwick (Swimming)
Sportswoman of the Year – Rosie Young (Rowing)
Team of the Year - Badminton
Section of the Year - Sailing
Best 1st Year – David Wagner (Motor Racing)
Outstanding Contribution to Coaching – Amanda Coles (Trampoline)
Hall of Fame Inductees – Craig Brown, David McCrae, Ian McLaughlin
The 9th annual Glasgow Taxis Cup took place on the 13th March. Over the past 9 years the intervarsity tournament has grown in size and is now the most prized piece of silverware between the three Universities. The day-long event consisted of 15 different sports over six different venues with six sports and the finale taking place at the newly built world-class Emirates Arena.

The event is a joint effort by the Skydiving Club and RAG (Raise and Give Society), and is the University of Strathclyde’s biggest student run charity event which aims to raise much needed funds for UK charities through sponsored skydives. Over £8,500 was raised in the process for this year’s chosen recipients: Teenage Cancer Trust, MS Society, Yorkhill Children’s Foundation, Alzheimer Scotland and C.A.L.M.
