Description
HELLO ALL!!!
Welcome to Winchester Spiders, University Of Winchesters Climbing Sports Team.
We are a group of friendly, kind, and fun people who enjoy climbing!
If you are wanting to try a new hobby, or simply want to carry on a hobby of yours, we welcome you in with open arms!
Why try climbing? This sport builds your problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills, as well as improves your physical strength and wellbeing!
We travel in a Mini Van, or by train to a variety of climbing gyms, so you will never get bored as there is such a mix.
We do a variety of different climbing styles, we offer bouldering, and will be offering learn to climb courses to teach you the ropes.
Our team is socially active, with a BOP pres most weeks, non-BOP socials every few weeks, and day trips to come soon!
Please reach out to us with any questions you have, and please join our Whatsapp which is linked in our Instagram bio @uowclimbing and we hope to see you on the walls!
(Please Note: Students are required to pay a fee to the climbing gym for each session, and to hire equipment such as climbing shoes if required)

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.
