Warwick SU to host 'One Hell of a Party'
This Union Notes:
-
That Stuart Croft, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Warwick, stated that the students and staff of the University of Warwick would have “One Hell of a Party” following the conclusion of Covid-19 lockdowns.1
-
For several months, the UK government has not maintained any public health restrictions on large gatherings in England.
-
Furthermore, Warwick Students’ Union has organised and promoted large gatherings such as club nights in the Copper Rooms and other SU venues.
-
Thus far the University of Warwick has announced no plans to host “One Hell of a Party” for its students.
-
That Warwick SU aims to hold highly anticipated and attended events for its students which will then have the additional benefit of generating income to maintain SU services.

This Union Believes:
-
Students and staff alike will appreciate Warwick SU organising “One Hell of a Party”.
-
A one-off event titled “One Hell of a Party” in the Copper Rooms and other venues would generate great interest and income for Warwick SU. This money could then be reinvested in SU services for students.
-
There exists plenty of open dates in the Warwick SU events calendar when such an event could be held.
