The Polytechnic’s Equestrian Society was formerly known as the Polyride society throughout the 70s to 90s. On 17th and 24th November 1972, the polyride society participated in training at Maisemore Riding Centre, Gloucester, which was previously owned by Mr Ted and Mrs Sally Bubb who were the owners of the equestrian establishment. The polyride society was able to subsidise the cost of riding along with providing transportation, full board and lodging training in Gloucester. The Equestrian Society was able to attend many trips throughout the society's existence such as weekend trips to Crabbet Park Equitation Centre in October 1976, and the South Oxfordshire Equitation Centre in February 1977.

The Jogging Society which was also formerly known as the ‘Plodders’ society in the McGarel, was first mentioned in the publication in October 1978.
The society existed due to the founders of the society having an interest in conducting tours to see the sights of Regents Park every Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes. Society members would initially meet at the Riding House Street Gym on those days, and then take part in either three planned routes around the park. These planned routes consisted of one, three and five kilometres of jogging. For beginners to jogging, they were advised to jog for the course of 1.2km, which allowed them to eventually jog upto larger distances of 3km and 5.2km, with hopes of being awarded a 50km badge.
In November 1978, the society had fifteen members during this time, some members either ran shorter courses of 1.2 kilometres, middle courses that consisted of running 3 kilometres or long courses of 5 kilometres. Two members on behalf of the society, ran in the inter-colleges cross country race at this time, one member finished in 15th position, whilst the other did not complete the race.
In December 1978, three society members competed in the London Cross Country League in Ruislip, which resulted in Andrew Charman finishing in 12th position, Steve Windsor finished in 124th position and Julian Cleary came in 137th.
In January 1979, members and staff were encouraged to compete in a 5 mile race to promote the society in the London Colleges Cross-Country league in Guildford on Wednesday 24th January. The race that took place on this day, saw the Prince of Kent start the race. In the ladies race, a new addition to the society, Sally Mander finished in 4th position. Whilst in the men’s race, Andy Charman finished in 4th position, Steve Windsor finished 59th position, Julian Cleary finished in 70th position and Amjid Masood finished the course in 72nd position. Later on in February, the society competed in the final race of the league which saw Cleary finish in 108th position, Dave Floyd finished in 106th position, Masood in 99th position, Windsor in 86th position and Charman in 4th position.
On 14th February 1979, members competed in the Seetech Cross Country Championships, which saw the Polytechnic’s Andy Charman finishing in 5th position, Dave Floyd coming in 33rd position, Steve Windsor in 34th position and Julian Cleary in 41st position.

The Polytechnic Ladies Darts Club was formed on 1 November 1939 with 32 members but subsequently went into abeyance due to the drop in numbers during the war. It reopened in September 1946 with 22 members. Competitions were held: Championship, pairs, sections and inter-club (within the Polytechnic only). A cup was donated by Ethel Wood in 1947. This was stolen in 1968 and replaced in 1970. A further cup was bought in 1971 but both cups were later stolen. The club was wound up in 1991.

In March 1893 an Architectural and Engineering Society was formed, with an organised programme of Saturday visits to various building works around London, such as Tower Bridge and German-born British artist Sir Hubert von Herkomer's unusual house 'Lululaund'. The Society disbanded during World War One and it was 1921 before a Polytechnic Engineering Society was re-formed. The Society became one of the most successful of the student societies, even awarding its own diploma in the 1930s for the three best papers read by members each year. It continued into the 1960s but the formal date it was disbanded is unknown.

A Golfing Society was first proposed at the Polytechnic in April 1923, but this seems to be a false start, as the magazine for June 1935 records a meeting of the Golfing Society to agree its rules and elect its President (Sir Kynaston Studd). From then on the club, which included a women's section, reported news consistently until 1940, when activities cease due to the war. Ladies Golf quickly re-started in 1945, but the men had to start afresh in 1946 with a new club. The clubs continued to flourish until at least 1960, with golf offered by PCLSU until at least 1980.
