Podcast n°3 : University Club

This podcast is about the University Club of Oxford. You can watch it here.

The person which is speaking in this podcast is Melanie Maleham, the general manager of the club.
She explains that the University Club offers four accomodation facilities. This club is open to the member students and other academic visitors. It is situated in the center of Oxford and had opened in 2004.
The club offers many different sports as football cricket or tennis for instance but the members haven't to play sport only, they also can watch sport on one of the five TVs in the café. Many visitors come from all around the world for some sport events or other kind of events.
It is not only a sport complex, it is also a social center, there is a restaurant, a café... and the club is also presenting conferences. The building is also used for weddings, parties or any other events.

According to me, I really like this idea, this club is not only for sporties, it is for anyone who want to play sport, watch sport, meet people... Personnaly, I love sport and I would really like a club like this in Grenoble, even if there are many sports proposing here. The difference with the common club is that it is not only for the sporties and it doesn't offer only sport services. People can meet people, share their experience, watch matches together, I think there is a very good atmosphere in this club.
Moreover, many visitors come from different countries, and it is very interesting to be opened to the world and not only to the University of Oxford.
For the people who don't like sport, they can go to conferences, encourage their friends or create events. So it is a club opened to everyone and it's that that I like!
