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:
“The mere fact of leaving ultimate social control in the hands of the people has not guaranteed that men will be able to conduct their lives as free men. Those societies where men know they are free are often democracies, but sometimes they have strong chiefs and kings. ... they have, however, one common characteristic: they are all alike in making certain freedoms common to all citizens, and inalienable.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
