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:
“The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modelled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
