GUM Clinic – Tuesday Week 9 Tuesday 3rd March will be your last chance in Term 2 to get yourself checked out for sexuallytransmitted infections as the mobile GUM Clinic returns to Meetings Rooms 4/5 of SUHQ between 11:30am-5:30pm. As always, it’s free, confidential and there’s no need to make an appointment – just turn up on the day and you’ll be seen as soon as possible.
Where’s Warwick the Bear? To help celebrate the University’s 50th anniversary, each week a different sports club or society will have custody of ‘Warwick the Bear’ and choose a mystery location on campus for him to visit. Pictures will be uploaded onto their Facebook page each Monday, and all correct answers will be entered into a prize draw – when the location is revealed, they’ll provide details of its history so can find out how the University got to where it is today!
Help Us Help You 2015 A huge thanks to everyone who took the time to send us their feedback in this year’s survey – we’ll be mulling it all over during the coming months and will report back on any progress as a result of your comments.

LIVE GIGS AT THE COPPER ROOMS We hope you’ve enjoyed the revamped programme of live music this term – make sure you keep checking the Ents pages of the SU website for details of upcoming gigs as soon as they’re announced!
BATTLE OF THE BANDS Over the past 5 weeks, the great, the good, the passable and the just plain bobbins have all taken to the stage in Copper Rooms 2 at Bandsoc’s annual Battle of the Bands tournament. The heat judges have now finished rating and slating all the possible contenders, meaning that we’re down to the crème de la crème of Warwick’s musical talent as the competition enters its knockout phase! As usual, the remaining events will showcase a wide range of genres, from indie and funk to death metal, post-hardcore and even singer-songwriters. The full line-ups are as follows:
SEMI - FINAL
Tuesday 3rd March – Room 2
* Abandoned Life * Bad News Everyone * BAbU * Navina * Sombrero galaxy * friends for hire
GRAND FINAL
Tuesday 10th March – Room 1
* Feralsect * Nakpat * Cloud Fleet * Funk the Po-lice * the ready wednesdays * Semi-Final winners Make sure you join us for what are always two of the best nights of live music in the year the winners will get the chance to take the stage at our big summer event in Term 3, as well as entering into the Bandsoc Hall of Fame and bagging recording time for themselves at a local studio!
POP! featuring THE CHUCKLE BROTHERS The Copper Rooms has played host to a wide range of credible and influential artists over the years - everyone from Alt-J and Chase & Status to Wild Beasts and Tinie Tempah have graced our stage at pivotal moments in their careers. But now, we’ve topped everything we’ve achieved in the past by booking the Godfathers of contemporary art; the Gods of pop music, if you will. For one night only on Wednesday of Week 9, Warwick SU proudly presents… THE CHUCKLE BROTHERS… LIVE! They’ll be performing their critically lauded uber-hit, To Me, To You (Bruv), which featured Tinchy Stryder. Come and party with Barry and Paul and join us in celebrating the illustrious careers of one of the UK’s finest examples of where high art and popular culture can meet.
Wednesday 4th March | Room 1 | 10pm
