Women’s Hockey NEEDS YOU

And you could win £250 for your troubles!

| UPDATED

No matter which of the ‘Leeds Campus Safari’ categories you fall into; edgy, rich bitch, rugby lad; you cannot fail to be aware of the Leeds University Union Women’s Hockey Club (LUUWHC).

Right now, they need your help.

LUUWHC have entered a prestigious competition run by RBS that could win them £5000. This competition takes place between university societies over the whole of the UK, who are tasked with making a video to promote their society. The winning society is the one that gets the most views of this video on youtube. LUUWHC has beaten 64 other societies to make it to the final 13. Currently, they are in SECOND place behind Loughborough Computer Society and they need your help to share and view this video as much as possible.

Quite frankly, if these class A nerds cannot be defeated by a huge team of muscly jocks with 30,000 students behind, we might as well pack it in and start calling ourselves West Yorks Poly.

Oh  and if that wasn’t enough, if you share the video on facebook you could win £250 from the £5000! Just like and share the video from the facebook group (here)!

The women’s club has been undeniably extraordinary this year, raising over £6000 for Epilepsy Bereaved and other charities over just eight months. They have done this with channel swims, a three peaks challenge, Leeds Half Marathon, a race night, and other means.

The 3 peaks challenge

The gap between Leeds and Loughborough is admittedly pretty large, but we’re all experts at social media and self-promotion; USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. The club has worked so hard this year, and if they win this competition, they will achieve invaluable funding and recognition, further cementing their reputation as the most fearsome women’s hockey club in the country.

The video is well worth a watch – tweet it, email it, facebook it. It’s family friendly and shows LUUWHC spirit at its finest. Back your uni, and be proud of our achievements.
