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:
“All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
