About this group

UCLU Poker Society is now in its 6th year as a UCLU society and after the success of last year, this year only promises more and more fun. Last year, we organised a record 19 weekly tournaments. We also attended a London University Poker Tournament, organised a Charity Poker Tournament with the African Caribbean Society (ACS) and took a 15 students team to Coventry to represent UCL at the UK Student Poker Championship (UKSPC). But, it was not just about the poker, Poker Society FC made their debut in the IMS 5-a-side Football League and finished unbeaten. Our efforts were indeed recognised at the Societies Colours and Award nights where two of our committee members received awards and the society received a nomination for Most Developed Society of the Year.
This year, we intend running the usual weekly tournament and are planning for at least 15 in total throughout the first and second term. We have also negotiated a luxurious venue for a 100 students Inter-Universities Poker Tournament with the winner receiving a personalised trophy.
There will also be fortnightly training sessions for students new to poker that are keen to learn. If you are new to poker, feel free and familiarise yourself with the basics at: http://www.partypoker.com/how-to-play.html

We currently have an ongoing volunteering scheme with GoodGym where we help the community while keeping fit. We also aim to take a bigger team down to the UKSPC.
