Description
WE ARE LOOKING FOR LIONS FOR 2024/25!
The Winchester Lions are the university’s non-competitive Pom Dance Team. We are here to support Team Winch by cheering at the university sports teams’ matches and often performing our original and fun pom dances in half-time!
We welcome anyone to try-out for our inclusive team; for us, it's all about team spirit and energy rather than dance ability! We are a close-knit team who train twice-a-week on campus where we learn new dances and routines, formations, and chants. We also have regular well-being sessions and exciting fundraisers (past events include Christmas zumba and 2000’s music bingo) to get involved with to raise money for worthy causes.
The Lions are a sociable team. We enjoy going to the student night out, BOP each week with new and exciting dress-up themes (and many tik toks filmed!). Some of our past social events include our annual Christmas awards, movie nights, pub golf, picnics, and many coffee mornings! The range of social events pom has to offer help us bond as a team and gives members the chance to enjoy themselves and relax amidst course stresses. It also means we are a fun society to consider if you are looking to become a social member!
As we are non-competitive, the Lions are unique team due to the fact we can participate in sports games and socials without the added pressure of competitions or matches.
We are looking for Lions for the ‘24-’25 academic year! If you are interested, please follow our social media pages for updates on the upcoming year.

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.
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.
