BUCS (Previously BUSA)
In the 2007/08 season under President Sam Barnes, Lancaster re-entered a Men's 1st team into the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) Northeren 2A League and had a fairly strong first season, finishing 3rd behind Liverpool 1st's and Manchester 1st's. In only their 2nd season back, under President Robin Honey,the Men's 1st team was able to finish 1st in the Northern 2A league with an unbeaten record, gaining automatic promotion into the Northern 1A league for the next season. This was a big step forward for the club as it gives them a change to compete with the some of the top Northern teams in the 2009/10 season.

BUCS Individual Tournament


Previously held at Warwick University and now yearly, at Nottingham University the BUCS Individual Table Tennis Championships takes place with events in Men's and Women's, Singles and Doubles categories. This is event is always of a high standard, and whilst Lancaster have had no recent success stories, this weekend event is always much looked forward to in the club's calendar.

As an idea of the standard of the event, in 2008 players from London Metropolitan University, after winning the BUCS Team and the majority of individual events, also went on to win the European Universities Table Tennis Championship in that same year.
