We also have a UoN Sport Staff Golf society which has been running since 2000.

It is open to golfers of all standards - no handicap required to join.

The club plays 9 organised competitions on local courses a year (about once a month from April to November) all within 1 hours drive of the University.

The emphasis of the society is to provide friendly competition, having food & 18 holes of golf at each event. Generally the cost to play in one of these events as a member of the society is £40, payable on the day, which includes an amount towards a wide range of prizes available for winning on any of these days.

Anyone wishing to give the society a ‘trial go’ can play as a guest at any event for a cost of usually £3 more than members. Annual membership to join the society is just £20, which gets you season long discounts & access to all the society info & administrative website.

For further information please contact the society secretary Martin Truman on 07758 229188 or 0115 974 9049.

The University of Nottingham Staff Tennis Club run sessions on Tuesday evenings from 5-7pm at David Ross Sports Village.

The sessions are a mixture of coaching and match play from Andy Higham, UoN assistant level 4 tennis coach, and Jamie Crowfoot, student scholar and level 2 coach.

The sessions are set for those with any level of tennis experience and we try to create a welcoming environment. There is a staff tennis WhatsApp group managed by Andy so that players can also arrange to practice outside of club sessions.

We play throughout the summer and winter too, with portable floodlights as well as the light from the 4G pitch - don't forget your warm clothing in the winter!
