UNION CLOSED
The Students Union offices will all be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday during the Spring break. So no Five Things For A Friday next week. We will be doing our debriefs on Varsity and the Ball over the enxt seven days. These debriefs, along with our recent Welcome Back Week and Elections debriefs, feed into plans for the next academic year, which have already started following our away day at the end of February. It never stops – and we lose a hour when the clocks spring forward an hour on Saturday night. Don’t forget!
