Other Half
Abingdon is unrivalled and the Other Half is the jewel in its crown.
The ‘Other Half’ is a great Abingdon tradition, and this unusual turn
of phrase describes all the extra-curricular activities that happen
during lunchtimes and after lessons. Abingdon is renowned for its
clubs and societies, presenting unlimited opportunities for you.
Make the most of them! There are a wide range of activities, both
sporting and non-sporting, which you can get involved in, such as
debating, which I fell in love with on arrival. Sporting activities are
numerous, whatever your sport. There’s even croquet and bridge!
Here, you can have great fun, and find people with the same
hobbies. You can also discover interests you didn’t even know you
had, things you didn’t even know you were good at, and much,
much more. Do as many activities as you physically can!
