The CSSC Games is open to all members regardless of their standard. The sports organisers arrange their competitions with this in mind. We do get some members who enjoy their sport at a high level, but the majority just want to be a part of the CSSC Games and enjoy themselves.

This is a common occurrence; we often have teams who are incomplete and as a result we make up composite teams. Get in touch with the CSSC Games team and we will do all we can to match part entries, enabling you to take part.

Parking is available in the Loughborough University campus and there is no charge as this is included in your entry fee. The main carpark to use is Car Park 1. 

Presently within the civil service, time off is increasingly becoming an issue. Special leave can only be granted at the discretion of your line manager.

The events are a large part of the CSSC Games but having a good time is also a big a part of what takes place.

There is entertainment provided on the Wednesday and Thursday nights and a bar will be open on the Friday night.

Thursday night is the 'main event' and the fancy dress theme will be 1920s, fancy dress is encouraged but not compulsory. Alternatively, there will be a quiet bar available to enjoy a drink and a chat with your team.
