Welcome

newbies, and all you lot who

have come back for some

more! Can’t believe its

December already. So far since

September the Students’

Union has enjoyed the most

successful half term in recent

history, with the Freshers

Fayre (see page three for pics)

attracting record numbers and

most of our trips and events

selling out in record time. If

you don’t know us already we

have existed at the college for

almost as long as the college

has been around. The earliest

trace was from a poster made

in 1969 to promote a charity

gig BPCSU put on at the

Pavilion, headlined by The

Who. If you don’t know who

are The Who then Google

them, but trust us when we

say that in 1969 they were

massive!
