Aims of the Society
We organise fun and interesting events and provide a social scene for everyone with an interest in Physics, organising regular events and talks, including cocktail evenings, sporting events and the fabulous Omega Dinner. CUPS presents an unrivalled opportunity to enjoy talks by internationally renowned speakers, which have included Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, on all subjects ranging from the cutting edge, to the purely historical, including philosophy, astronomy and bio-physics. In addition there is the chance for informal discussion afterwards. We also put on formal halls, trips, pub crawls, and an unrivalled annual garden party.
Thanks to all of you who signed up to the email lists, and who we met at the Freshers' Fair or after the induction talks. We hope to see you again at our events this term!
