Welcome to the Ancaster Hall JCR Homepage, at the
VISIT THE ANCASTER FORUM: http://groups.msn/ancasterhall
If you have any questions which are not answered
here, please feel free to contact us via the contact page. Have a look around the site to see what Ancy is all about! Student life
at Ancaster is friendly, lively and vibrant. It is a unique hall of residence where
you can meet new people and develop your talents; a place where you can live,
work and…play!
Meet your President!
To all new Freshers,
Welcome to Ancy! My name is James
Simpson and I am the President of the Ancaster Hall JCR Committee 2005-2006.
Ancaster is one of the 12 catered
halls on University Park campus. It is located in the West entrance, which
allows you to have easy access to Beeston, a local town with numerous shops,
bars and restaurants that students elsewhere on campus never get to experience.
Being less than two secs walk from the Sports Centre, there is NO excuse! As
Ancy is at the bottom of the hill, it takes about 10/15 mins walk to get to the
middle of campus (where the Portland Building and library is) – of course,
depending how fast you walk. Being in a catered hall means you will come in to
contact with a far greater number of people than you would do in self-catered
accommodation. With everyone having meals together, and able to use the same
JCR facilities you will get to know all similar minded people to yourself very
quickly!
Almost everyone you will speak to
who was in Ancaster last year will tell you they had a fantastic time. This
year really promises to be a lot better!
I and the rest of the new JCR
Committee have been planning already for the year ahead. We promise there will
be better parties than last year, more events and activities put on during the
year, as well as a fantastic Summer Ball, BBQ and “Hall Holiday” after the
exams in the summer term! This year we have entered sports teams for the
inter-mural sports competitions in Rugby, Football, Hockey and Netball. With
new sponsored kits for both the Football and Rugby teams! There will also be a
huge sports persons social at the end of the year, to no doubt celebrate
Ancaster sweeping the board in all competitions!
Outside of the JCR, other groups of
Old Ancastrians will be returning to hall, to ensure your fresher experience is
the best possible!
Upon arrival, your lovely Week One
Reps – Joel, Chris (do not mention Champions League Final!), Caiomhe and
Maryann will be there to take you to a variety of Club Nights, Hall Parties
(including our very own “Bling Bling” Party on the Wednesday night!), Bar
crawls and events in the day such as the “Freshers Fayre”, Bowling, Salsa
Dancing and the Big Day of Fun. This year we also have our own night in the
Ancy bar on Saturday, proceeding the Week One Party on the Sunday which
promises to be the best ever with a number of big acts and performers already
signed up! By the end of the week you will no doubt have contracted “Fresher´s
Flu” at least once, developed a greater alchohol dependency, made loads of new
mates, and created some great memories…others to which you will spend the whole
of your fresher year trying to forget! I can promise you now you will never
ever forget your first week of Uni!!!
For the first term, “Karni” will
form a huge part of the Hall’s social calender. One can not overstate how
brilliant our Karni reps have been so far! Ancaster is currently Number 1 in
the Karni League, and we will need the help of all our new freshers to ensure
we stay there. The events put on, including Rag Raids, 7 legged pub crawls,
Speed Dating, Stars in Their Eyes, Mr and Miss Ancaster, the trip to Edinburgh,
the wonderful Snowflake Ball, and the “Booze Cruise” (2nd week of
Uni, buy your tickets asap! It will be quality!) were the highlights of last
year. To view the Ancaster Karni website, click here.
As you can see, your first year at
Nottingham Uni presents you with many brilliant opportunities to have an
amazing time. I am running out of superlatives here, so all I can say is, get involved
in as much as you can and make sure you have no regrets! When your course
actually starts to matter in 2nd year you will not have the time to
fit the same amount in!
Enjoy the rest of the summer, and I
look forward to meeting you in Week One! ANCASTER LA LA LA!!!!
