Description
Welcome to the Winchester Panthers Athletics Team! 🐾
We’re a friendly, inclusive and rapidly growing athletics team at the University of Winchester, welcoming students of all abilities and experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, completely new to athletics, or just looking for a fun way to keep active and meet new people, there’s a place for you in the Panthers!
We cover a wide range of track and field events, including sprints, middle- and long-distance running, long/high jumps, and javelin. Our competitive side is growing too, with the Panthers having competed in BUCS competitions and Friendlies over the past year and continuing to build on our success.
But it’s not all about competition! Whether you want to train recreationally, compete for the university, or simply get involved in our socials, there are plenty of ways to be part of the Panthers. We host regular socials throughout the year, giving everyone the chance to get to know each other and make friends both on and off the track!

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
JANUARY INTAKE STUDENTS
If you are a student from a January Intake, you may be eligible for a partial refund of BASE fees due to our membership periods. Please contact The Activities Team who will be able to verify this and assist you. Please note that refunds are NOT guaranteed, and are not available for September Intake students.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
