Loughborough Sports Directory

The Loughborough sports directory came back from print yesterday and was sent straight out for the first Loughborough University open day of the new school year.

The directory will be used by the University as a yellow pages of Loughborough sport in a bid to attract new students to study at Loughborough, and to showcase all the fantastic facilities they possess.

On the Warr path

Following on from last year's successful design placement from Loughborough University we have snapped up another student from Industrial Design, Will Warr. Will starts today and has already begun to settle into his new role.

Whilst with us Will will be learning new skills to take on to his course next year, and we have already acquired a bursary to aid his learning from Creative Leicestershire.

Will is in the process of setting up his new design placement blog and when it is set up we will let you know.

Loughborough's Yellow Pages of Sport

Every year Loughborough University release their 'Sports Directory' to encourage new freshers to join sports teams to to just enjoy the Universities amazing facilities, and this year they have asked us to give the directory a bit of a face lift.

The new directory sets out to showcase the Universities sporting history, the amazing facilities, the fantastic sports clubs and the great events.

Developing People, Developing Sport

We have been contracted to work with the Loughborough Sports Development Center on Loughborough University campus to design and product their new Sports Directory brochure. The booklet is aimed at the new freshers intake in September and returning students who are interested in taking up sport at Loughborough. The aim of the brochure is to encourage students to play sport at Loughborough, and to take advantage of the world class facilities.

IAMSUCCESS!

The three IAMLUFBRA events have gone really well with both Rugby games and Loughborough International Athletics all drawing a big crowd and a number of IAMLUFBRA tshirts!

Loughborough came from behind to beat Bath in the Real Varsity match in a sterling performance from the Loughborough side. Dante Mama came off the bench for the Leicestershire side to turn the match in their favour with a powerful display.

The second rugby event, the Dan James Memorial match, against England U20s drew another large crowd on the first team pitch. England came determined to make amends for their defeat last year and looked in impressive form with some fantastic handling.

Loughborough International Athletics was also a success in a sun-drenched athletics stadium on Sunday. With stars Jess Ennis, Marlon Devonish, Martyn Rooney, Lisa Dobrisky and Mark Lewis-Francis amongst the competitors it was always going to be a fantastic event.

IAMLUFBRA gathers pace

With the first of the IAMLUFBRA events fast approaching, the hype behind the event has begun to snowball, with nearly 4000 members on the Facebook group and the new posters and fliers beginning to circulate, the message has defiantly hit home with the students. "It has gone better than we could of expected, the response from the Loughborough Students has been amazing," said 5or6 MD Peter Simmons, "the hype surrounding the events has been phenomenal and they are sure to live up to expectations" he finished.

We also sponsored the coveted Sports person of the year award, and up for the award was Jo Jackson (world swimming silver medalist and world record holder), Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (Olympic medalist) and Liam Tancock (world swimming gold medalist and world record holder). The award was eventually won by Liam Tancock.
