The Old Ipswichian Club has a very active, thriving sports element and runs a variety of Sporting clubs and activities throughout the year.
We play annual matches v the school offering competitive but friendly rivalry which also provides an opportunity for interaction between the current and former pupils, which is invaluable.
We are always keen to see new members who wish to participate at any level of expertise and these are always very popular events in our calendar.
Our current annual events are cross country, cricket, rounders, rugby and golf. In the Spring we hold our Annual Sports Festival when we play football, hockey, netball, fives and table tennis and badmington, finishing with prize giving over a buffet and drinks. This year's Spring Sports Festival is taking place on Saturday 13th April at Rushmere Sports Centre, the Schools new sports facility. Everyone is very welcome to join in be it in a team, individually or to spectate. For full details please email OISports@ipswich.suffolk.sch.uk .
