Does your uni get Wednesday afternoons off?

Do you have Wednesday afternoons off at uni for sports?
I always thought it was standard to have Wednesday afternoons off for sports in unis (when I was at my first uni and my friends were undergrads at others, we all did) but since coming to Bangor and having lectures on Wednesdays until 6pm apparently it isn't!
This obviously causes a problem, especially in winter, as sports clubs have to train in the evening - starting at 7pm - which isn't great when you have to walk there, do your two/three hours of sport and walk back in the cold dark!
The SU has managed to get the uni to change their policy for most schools now
(unfortunately as Psych is so large we may not get them off 
always the way!) but I was wondering how many uni's actually do have Wednesday afternoons free for sports?
It'd be great if you could say what uni you're at as well as answering the poll

Cov uni does.
Im not at university yet but i've asked a friend who's there and no they don't. 
The only people I know at Loughborough who've had timetabled contact time on a Wednesday afternoon is the engineer students working on their end-of-year project.
You are meant to, and it's well established in many universities so any group of students wishing to campaign for this in their own uni will pretty much get it passed.
My course usually does but they still have the odd lecture. Damned annoying as the university leagues hold games on Wednesday afternoons because that's what they're there for!

Someone told me my university did this but I'm not so sure. I only ever had 9 hour weeks though so I usually had them off anyway. I had lectures on Wednesday evenings (5-7) in my first year though.
Last semester I had the whole of Wednesdays off. It was good week felt more managable
week felt more managableI get some wednesdays off, apparently.
We do (we being royal veterinary college)
I don't actually know. But I've never had anything on a Wednesday afternoon so maybe.
At first I thought, no, why do you ask, and then I realised YES 
we do!
I have no idea why..
we do! I have no idea why..
