Now, a word to the Freshers—The best IC Union has to offer is to be found amongst our sports clubs. Here informality is the keynote and there is a place for everybody, whatever their standard. Most clubs have as many teams as are required to accommodate all their members—not vice versa. The best way to fill a Wednesday or Saturday afternoon is in the company and friendship of an IC sports team—many think it the only way.
