Congratulations to Chief Goon (Roschelle Batt), Mini Goon (Rick Garside), Sodden Scribbler (Adriana Lindsay), Passion Pop Princess (Fatima Serhan), Stubby Holder (Dylan Allan) and Giblets James Matbey and Benjamin Hollis.

At Parramatta campus the Chess Club held the remaining matches for their second knockout tournament (second round for first tournament at Campbelltown was on yesterday) and the brand new Mah-Jong Society also enjoyed some games in the sun.

Last Thursday the Afghan Students Society held a free Afghan feast and Campus Bible Ministries had a free BBQ, open to all students at Parramatta Campus. Both events were supported by the Hive.

Lots of new clubs are starting up at UWS with regular activities at all campuses. For example at Penrith the Geek Group, MAFIA (Music & Film) and JAUWS (Anime) all hold regular social events & film screenings.
