Freshers Fun!
This year saw the societies first freshers stall, which was a huge success. We managed to sign up over 100 new students and raised about £70 through donations on the day. Thanks to all who donated and signed up.
We hope we can keep this momentum up for the whole year and get everyone involved in some great events we have planned.
Thanks again!

CHARITY SKYDIVE HUGE SUCCESS!
It took months to organise, weeks to raise money for and hours to get to but ten brave young students took on the challenge and boy did they do well!
With the total amount still to be collected and counted, we're already sitting on nearly £3000 online donations for our favourite charity not too mention we had a fantastic time raising it!
After enduring 30 seconds of free fall at 120mph at 10,000ft our lovely lads and ladies topped the day off with a party in the forest which included keg stands, red party cups, boat races, fire, karaoke....
But why tell you all about it? We'll just let you check out the pictures and decide for yourselves how much fun we all had!
See you next year!
