The Sports Union Ball is without doubt one the most awaited Sports Union events of the year. It takes place in the spring semester and it marks the annual celebration of all the student achievements in Sport at the University of Stirling.
This is where all our Awards including Blues and Colours are announced and presented to the winners. The Sports Union Ball is a very prestigious and eagerly awaited event where, usually, a wine reception and 3 course meal are followed by the Awards ceremony, Ceilidh Dance and Disco.
Nominations normally open in February/March and tickets for the 2014 Ball go on sale soon after.
The Ball will be held on April 25th at Murrayfield Stadium.
