We’re already getting cosy on the sofa with a hot chocolate and the appropriate Autumn TV watching (Gilmore Girls, anyone?). So, let’s take a minute to check out what’s coming up this week and beyond at LUSU.

Do you want to help deliver Roses 2025? 🌹

The Roses Varsity Competition is our annual varsity sport tournament versus the University of York. It is often described as the largest inter-university sports tournament in Europe, with over 30,000 people competing, officiating, spectating and working when we hosted in 2024. This year, we're off to York!

For such a huge competition, we need a dedicated Roses Committee, helping to shape the way we approach Roses 2025 all the way up to the big weekend.
