There is still a ressies commite at UL this year. And I know people who are setting up a cricket team. And we had debating for a little bit last year which was a lot of fun, except it started late and then it was exam time and people wanted to study instead.
I'm sure if you're realy enthusiastic about starting something it shouldn't be too much trouble to get it going... *crosses fingers*
I think that the main reason that UL wasn't a part of things last year was because it was new and the admin people didn't realise that people would want to participate in the interhall things and such... and by the time they knew this it was later in the year and all the interhall stuff had begun already. Maybe it will be different this year.
