Other Societies
As well as the numerous sports teams, Winchester Student Union is also home to many student societies for students of The University of Winchster, such as "Performing Arts Winchester" (the amateur dramatics society that arranges and performs shows for students and staff, as well public performances), and "RockSoc" (a society formed through like-minded fans of rock and metal music), "WAMS" (Winchester Anime and Manga Society), "WUDS" (Winchester University Debating Society, formed to allow a platform for debate between students across all courses) and "WARGS" (Winchester Association of Roleplays and Gamers).
The Student Union also funds other societies and committees such as the Law Society and the Negotiation Society. Each society can apply for funding by the union for costs not covered by individual faculty's.

Famous quotes containing the word societies:
“In countries where associations are free, secret societies are unknown. In America there are factions, but no conspiracies.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
