Maroon Wednesday…

With Archers competing across a range of sports, we're inviting the Cardiff Met community to wear maroon, get behind our teams and discover everything that university sport has to offer.

Whether you're a regular on the sidelines or have never watched a Cardiff Met fixture before, Maroon Wednesday is your chance to experience the action, support your fellow students and explore sports you might not normally get to see.

And this time, there's an extra challenge waiting for you!

Six stamps. One challenge. Plenty of prizes!

Working alongside Met Sport, we're challenging you to explore the sporting action across campus and collect six stamps in your very own Maroon Wednesday passbook.

Getting involved is simple:

Pick up your passbook from the Students' Union on Wednesday 21 October.

Explore campus sport and watch the Archers in action at participating sports.

Collect your stamps as you visit each sport, working towards all six.

Enter the prize draw by submitting your completed passbook before the deadline on Friday 23 October.

Everyone who completes the challenge and submits their passbook will have the chance to win prizes, including major sporting event tickets, vouchers, Cardiff Met and Students' Union clothing, and much more.

One university. One team. We Are Archers.

Maroon Wednesday is about celebrating the people, teams and sporting opportunities that make Cardiff Met special.

You don't have to play sport to be part of it. Whether you're supporting your mates, discovering a new team or simply enjoying the atmosphere, there's a place for everyone.

So grab your friends, wear your maroon and help us turn Cyncoed into a celebration of everything it means to be an Archer.
