Milestones in Sport: the tradition continues
It's time to celebrate for the University of Adelaide Sports Association.
Over the next two years, almost a third of the Association's 38 clubs will celebrate major milestone anniversaries - not
to mention the Association itself, which next year will turn 110 years old.
Thousands of students have played sports through the University as part of their overall Adelaide experience, and all Sports Association Alumni are encouraged to take part in planned celebrations.
To register your interest in taking part in the Sports Association's 110th birthday celebrations, or your particular club's celebrations, phone (08) 8303 5403 or visit: www.adelaide.edu.au/sport
