• End Of Term Party

Friday 27 June 2008
9pm - 2am

Wouldn’t it be great if walls could talk? I know people always say, ooh wouldn’t it be great if trees actually spoke like those weird dudes out of Lord Of The Rings, but it’s pretty obvious what they’d say. It would be along the lines of: “can someone please get this long haired, tie dye wearing hippy to stop hugging me, they smell slightly funny”. But, what do you think the walls of the Union would say if they could speak? Something to do with asking you lot to stop hoofing pints of purple all over them or possibly a plea to stop using them for support during some of your more amorous moments? If they could speak, they’d probably be bawling their eyes out on Friday Week 10, if they have eyes, because that will be the last night of partying the Union will be seeing.

Friday week 10 is the End of The Union Party. A Party that will be so bosting, we won’t be able to top it, so we’d rather knock the whole venue down instead of doing anymore events. Oh, wait a minute, apparently that’s not right. The actual reason we’re going all ‘grand designs’ on the venue is because the place has got a bit tired and old, and instead we’re going to building a wow-fab-groovy super nifty new venue. Before hard-hat season begins, it’s only proper we give this place a proper sending off and we want to make it a right rollicking affair seeing as it’s also the day we bid a tearful farewell to many of you as you all go sloping off into the tax-paying sunset. For the last night of this union era, the End Of The Union* Party is going to be a beast, an all consuming, frothing at the mouth beastly beast. We want to see you all out in force for one last party of this current Union. We thought it would only be fair if you folks get to pick the songs paid. This isn’t because the DJ’s are lazy, they love nothing more than dashing about for your pleasure, but we want you bunch to be able to soundtrack your time at University.

So, the request-athon will be busted out for a night of requesting action. For those who don’t know how it works, here are the rules:

£1 buys you any request, which we chuck into the pot and draw out at random. Whatever order they come out, that’s the order we play them in. Rest assured, things can (and frequently do) get very silly.

£5 guarantees you any commercial track if you fancy skipping all the rigmarole and barging your way to the front of the queue.

£10 guarantees you any song, no matter how random it is. So if it’s the theme tune from Duck Tales or a rowdy Slipknot number that you fancy, cough up your cash and we’ll bosh it straight on the decks.

In addition there's what we call the One Republic Clause: you can VETO any track for the same amount that was paid for it. So that means that when some beigenik forks out for Stop and Stare you can slap them right back down to the rock they crawled out from under. Musically speaking, of course.

Science-ish part over. This is the last night of the Union, and for many of you, the last night of your University days. You deserve a big blow-out and this is it. Get down to the Union, come and party and bid a fond farewell to its current incarnation - all the money raised on the night goes towards our brand new media centre!
