Please do not use the tent between midnight and 8am.

After the relative sucess of the off campus nights last term the GSA are again going to be running events in town. To do this we need your help.

We want to know what sort of events you would like in town, where are your favourite places to go out and just how we can do stuff for the postgraduates who dont live in the college.

Our first event in town this term is on the night off Tuesday 19th January when we are going to the White Cross to partake in the quiz night. We would love to see as many of you down there as possible and hopefully we will get several teams of postgrads taking part.

To tell us what you want post comments here, come and find us in the GSA office or just leave us a notewith the porters at grad college.
