Well, it’s an annual sports gathering organized by the Nottingham Malaysia Society, dubbed as the largest Malaysian student gathering overseas. It first started in 1985, and they celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2009. It’s recognized as “Best Event” by the University of Nottingham, with over 5000 participants from 56 universities in the UK taking part every year.

What did the participants thought of the trip?
“Overall, the Nottingham Games experience was quite fun. Members who joined the trip were really happy with the food fair organized by the university as they missed the Malaysian food so much. Everyone really have fun participating in the games. Those who participated in the Badminton competition held play quite well too. They tried their best, showing the best sportsmanship though they did not win the competition.
Lastly, thanks to Jeannie Law for being a great trip leader for the day trip.”

“Overall, the trip is nice and interesting. The bus driver didn’t know where the sports centre is and made us late for registration. In my opinion, trip was too short, sport players did not have sufficient time to visit the town after the games. I also think we need a tour leader/guide to lead us around town so that the trip will be more interesting.”
