OUSA MOJOS HALL
219 Leith Street
Just around the corner from the OUSA Clubs and Societies Centre is a charming old building called Mojos Hall. Mojos has a durable wooden floor that is ideal for hard-sole shoe dancing such as Flamenco, Tap and Ceroc. It also has a built-in sound system, three wall-mounted mirrors, a piano and toilets. You can book the hall just as you would any other room at the Clubs and Societies Centre. It has the added benefit of being able to be used outside the Centre’s normal hours.
Use of Mojos during regular opening hours is free for all OUSA and OPSA members. Book it today for your dancing and piano practice requirements.
OUSA SQUASH COURTS
Union Street – behind the University School of Physical Education
Leilani Joyce, Jahinghar Khan, Dame Susan Devoy....Luckily for you none of these people play regularly on the O.U.S.A. Squash Courts in Union Street but you can. One of the three courts is reserved for casual bookings which are made through reception at Clubs and Socs. The student price is $5 and we also hire out racquets on request. You can also buy squash balls (beginners through to professional) from OUSA Clubs and Societies Centre reception. If you want to play squash on a regular basis then it is a good idea to join the OUSA Squash Racquets Club. Membership of the Squash Club gives you access to the other two courts as often as you like, and to a vibrant and full social and sporting programme throughout the year. Squash Club memberships can be purchased at Clubs and Socs.
