Thank you to the 1,100+ staff members and their families and friends who came along to the Staff Summer Party on Thursday. We hope you enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you also to the volunteers who gave up their time to help man the sculpture trail, cake and raffle stalls on the day.

Money raised for Warwick projects

A massive thank you to everyone who donated a cake - as well as to those who bought and ate them! We raised a fantastic £498.30 for Warwick's charitable projects. The split of the funds raised was decided by your blue tokens:

Volleyball: Free summer sessions

If you enjoyed having a go at the volleyball you may be interested in free outdoor recreational volleyball sessions, run by Warwick Sport. You can join in every Thursday from 5.30pm to 8pm, located just behind pitch 2 at Westwood. These free sessions are open to everyone and all abilities are welcome; they’ll also be coaches offering tips and guidance to those who want to learn more about the game.

Warwick Sport also runs a 6 week course, aimed at beginners and casual players, which costs £15.
