Sabb Blab We’re now entering the final two weeks of term - has the year really gone that quickly?! Needless to say, here at the SU we’re all gearing up for what are set to be the highlights of Term 3: the Grad Ball, Sports Ball, Societies Awards and Summer Party.

Congratulations to all those Finalists who’ve now finished their course and will be leaving us shortly to head out into the big wide world – on behalf of myself, the other Sabbs and the staff team here at the Students’ Union, we wish you all the best for the future! If you’re back next year, we hope you enjoy a relaxing break over the coming months – if you’re still on campus over the summer, however, make sure you keep checking the SU website for details of all our outlets’ opening hours. Either way, have a great summer – and see you on Sunday Week 9 at the Summer Party! - BEN SUNDELL
