What Have We Been Up To? Fresher’s Week 2018 we had a blast First off: Fresher’s Week, and WHAT a week that was!

Things went off with a bang when The UV BOP kick-started the week.

Then we had half of you scoring points at Puttshack and the other shouting BINGO at Hip Hop Blingo.

Wednesday brought a double-whammy of The Grand AND Infernos, whilst Thursday gave all you thrill-seekers a chance to run wild at Thorpe Park!

Fresher’s Fair gave the chance for a quick breather and a catch up on all that goes on at Roehampton. Before we rounded it all up for you at Fresher’s Fest – an epic night of Earth, Fire and Ice! We hope you all enjoyed yourselves! We certainly did!

Editor Grace Ward writes: Can you believe we’re already approaching the end of first term!?

Time really does fly when you’re having fun! It may only be the start of November, but the RSU have already done A LOT of things in the past two months.

faces in the crowd black history month 2018 Amongst many other events, our Black History Month campaign #FacesInTheCrowd is one that we are very proud of. Everyone has had the chance to attend our Pub Quizzes, BHM Party, Poetry Evening, BAME Conferences and upcoming theatre trip. Whilst having fun, we have also been discussing serious topics and

opening people minds to some of the most inspiring people within the BAME community. Our BAME Conference on the 7th November is definitely one not to miss, so make sure to attend!

Despite this campaign only being over the course of just one month, we aim to celebrate BAME and other students throughout the WHOLE entire year! The love never stops at Roey!

Puppy Room puppy love And then, of course, how could we forget our favourite doggos?

This term we brought back our infamous Puppy Room!

Student life can be stressful, and sometimes all you need is a cuddle with a pup. You guys flocked in to get a chance to relax and meet our furry friends. The puppies (as usual) were ADORABLE - and did anyone catch a chance to meet the cat and bunny rabbits? HOW CUTE!?

pack up your pumpkins it’s nearly time for christmas!

Sadly, it’s time for us to pack away our ghost bunting and fake cobwebs. No longer is it deemed appropriate to dress outlandishly and knock on stranger’s doors asking for sweets. Say goodbye to our Witches, Zombies and…

Moths and Lamps? - (what was with THAT craze this year?)

Halloween is officially over. You guys looked positively terrifying at our Halloween Bop, Grand and

Infernos events this year! We hope you enjoyed the music and that you could handle your “boo’s” – get it? … no?... (cough) But as one season ends, another is just around the corner. Is it too early to talk about Christmas yet?

Well, it doesn’t matter – because we are going to! Here at the RSU, we have a bunch of upcoming events to celebrate the festive

season! With the likes of our Christmas BOP, FEZ, Grand and Thirsty Thursdays returning (plus some more surprises), you are all in for a real treat!

Be sure to check out our RSU What’s On page for more! Our Christmas Events are going to “sleigh”! … (sorry)

FEZ is back

this is not a drill

Speaking of returning events, our beloved Wednesday night venue is back! For those of you who are new to Roehampton, we have worked in partnership with FEZ Club, Putney for over 10 years.

Our weekly nights out at FEZ have become one of our most popular RSU events.

Now the venue has had their re-vamp, they are ready to welcome us back with open arms on 3rd December! So put the date in your diaries!

Upcoming Events roehamptonstudent.com/whatson If you still don’t believe our range of upcoming events for you all, then take a look at this timetable!

There’s something for everyone!

tuesdays you’ll never forget “There’s no business like show business!” There really is nothing quite like a trip to the theatre, and with Roehampton being so close to central London – the home of the West End – we couldn’t resist the opportunity to take you on a few trips to see some popular shows.

Future shows include: Wicked in January 2019 and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie in February 2019.

go green at the RSU

Growhampton is a sustainability programme run by the RSU. Their aim is for students and staff at Roehampton to include sustainability in their everyday lives on campus and beyond.

They hold a number of fantastic sessions each week throughout the year. Learn 2 Grow is a handson session held every Tuesday, (2-4pm), where you can plant seeds, pot plants, dig soil, make compost and do all things growing related. On Thursdays, they hold a Harvest Morning (10-Noon) and a Farmer’s Market (1-2pm), where they harvest and sell all the goods grown on campus.

And lets not forget their event

“The Little Green Festival” – it was a brilliant week full of special sessions, such as Bird Feeders Workshop, Yoga, Upcycling Workshop, Smoothie Bike, Period Pad Making, Beetroot Soup Giveaway, and lots more! So many of you got stuck in, which was lovely to see!

Anyone can get involved and we thoroughly recommend that you do!

Whether sustainability is a passion of yours, or you just want to try something new, give Growhampton a go! – (FYI, they have real-life chickens too!)

roehamptonstudent.com/ideas “Hey, what’s the big idea??”

ideas

The RSU is run for and by YOU, the students. So if you have any burning ideas that you want to get heard, we’re here to listen and help.

Our ideas page is a place for students to submit whatever idea they’d like, no matter how big or small the matter is. You can campaign to get your voice heard

and for votes for your idea.

You‘ll have 2 weeks to get 1% of the student population to vote on it (80 students). Then 50% or more will have to have voted in favour of your idea, before the SUC will review it and vote for it to become Policy of the RSU. There is nothing to lose, so go for it!! We’re behind you every step of the way!!
