Ok, so these are only the runner up trophies, but considering how the economic climate has affected how students spend their cash, and gig attendance in general, we think we've done rather well.

Here's a big congratulations to Kay Russant (our President Elect) for her Runner Up trophy in the Most Committed Society Member category, and a big cheer to the exec committee for producing the runner up in the Best Website category. We would bring you news of who was nominated for and who won each category, but after making our acceptance speeches we were a bit too busy being merry to actually pay any attention to the proceedings.

We know that every student is going through the dilemma of Summer Ball- to go or not to go??
Yeah it may seem a little pricy but if you look at what you're getting for your money, its totally worth it. Heres a few reasons why you should go...

1.TIDAL!- our battle of the bands winner taking to the stage where legends will perform!

2 FEEDER- Buck Rodgers- need I say any more?!

3.Calvin Harris- even if you're unsure if you're really into his music, he puts on one hell of a show!

4.Soft Toy Emergency- we worked with them at the skins party in November and they were awsome. Plus the bassist has a purple satin amp that his mum did up for him. Rock and Roll.

5.NANDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

6.Beardyman- Acually Amazing. If you don't believe me, youtube him.

7.TOMMYB, JAGUAR SKILLS, BOOTY LUV (yes they are awsome- what amazing singers!), FABIO- more music than you can shake a musical stick at.

And at £39, you can't really go wrong. Case closed, now go get your ticket!
