OPFEST
Opfest is an annual inter university sports competition where students from each of the Optometry universities compete for the Optic cup.
Opfest was revived from the previous event BODSA with great success by Cardiff university in 2010. It was then held in Bradford in 2011, Aston 2012, Bradford in 2013 and Cardiff in 2014. March 2015 saw the weekend return to Aston.
Opfest 2016 was held in Cardiff and we were victorious and took the Optic Cup (although a short journey) home with us. Look out for the OFEST celebrations at the first sport social of the year!
The event will consist of two nights out (one formal, one not so formal) and a day of sporting events. Past events have included football, touch rugby , Volleyball, Dodgeball, tug of war and the fiercely contested netball. There will be a lot of opportunity to get involved this year whether it's competing or volunteering to help run the weekend.
Opfest is a fantastic weekend that builds memories and friendships with students all across the UK.
