Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic Society

The ASNaC Society runs various events of varying levels of seriousness throughout the academic year, from the weekly events of ASNaC Sports on Sundays and ASNaC Pub on Fridays, through to film nights, formals, welfare events and so on several times a term – all the way to the cycle of annual events: The Hallowe’en/St Rumwold’s Day Pub Meet, the Yule Feast, the Yule Play, a smattering of daytrips one for each term, the annual Black Tie Dinner, guest lectures, and the ASNaC Garden party at the end of the year. There is also the ASNaC Quire, the Department’s not-very-serious choir that sings at least vaguely ASNC-related music. Twice per year we publish Gesta Asnacorum, our magazine full of very niche jokes, described by Wikipedia as a “scurrilous student rag”, of which back issues from the past 5 years can be viewed on our Gesta page.
