If you want the full experience of Mixed Netball, then coming on a tour really is a must! It's an amazing way to really cement those MN friendships (I mean, if someone can put up with you wearing the same t-shirt for days on end then they're probably going to be a friend for life) and to make memories that will be simultaneously unforgettable and entirely bizarre.
Each year we go on two tours - mini tour and main tour, with mini tour taking place over a weekend towards the end of term one (around the end of November), in the UK and main tour being in the first week of the Easter break, abroad, and both are opportunities not to be missed.
You can watch a (brilliantly filmed and edited) vlog of each day of our 2022 and 2023 International Tours on our YouTube channel!

Mini Tour
Mini Tour is the best way of getting involved in MN right at the start - even if you only joined us at the beginning of the term or you think nobody knows you yet! One of the bigger surprises of Mini Tour is that the location is completely a mystery and we only find out when we arrive - who knows where we'll end up! However, what we can guarantee is that it will be one of the best weekends of your university life - jam packed with daytime activities, nights out and maybe even some netball! Your main concern during Mini Tour (second only to having the best possible weekend) is the fate of your team! At the beginning of the weekend the group is split in two, and you quickly realise that winning the competition for best tour team is of utmost importance. If you've been convinced that Mini Tour is for you, you'll need to mentally and physically prepare yourself for the ticket buying process - Mini Tour is really for the keenest of the keen as the 30 tickets were sold in less than a minute for the past few years! Chloe, our lovely Tour Sec, will let the club know when the tickets will be going on sale, so keep an eye on the Facebook group and our socials. |

Main tour
You may think Mini Tour sounds good, but it really has nothing on the experience that is Main Tour. Going abroad for 5 or 6 days with some of your closest friends, to take part in wild activities and even wilder nights out is really an opportunity not to be sniffed at. In the past we've been to Budapest, Prague, Madrid, Barcelona, Gran Canaria, and most recently, Poland with activities ranging from segwaying to theme parks and water parks, bob sleighing, high-rope adventures to days in the spa, not to mention nights out and tour juice taken to the unsuspecting cities of Europe and beyond. As is probably expected, the netball aspect of the club gets slightly (very) overlooked while we're away, but honestly with all the hard work we've put into training through the year, the break is definitely well deserved! On the first day you'll be kitted out with a fetching tour t-shirt and a (questionable) tour name. From that point on, the tour has well and truly begun and you're in for a holiday you'll never forget. |
