Hi Everyone,
news in brief
Summer is finally here - first
years, make sure you don’t revise
too hard and second years, hold
on, the end is in sight. Oh, and
try to avoid the partying, finalists!
Jubilee Bank Holiday – SU Opening Times
As ever, the SU will be the light
at the end of your metaphorical
tunnel and we are putting
on loads of great events. The
Summer Party will be the
hottest ticket in town, and the
Society Awards will help you
finish the year in style - dress
to impress for a fantastic
evening of celebration featuring
Warwick’s top performers in the
Butterworth Hall as you have
never seen it before…

Matt Rogers
SU Societies Officer
To celebrate the anniversary of Her Maj’s coronation, our usual membership
facilities in SUHQ will be closed over the Spring Bank Holidays on Monday
4th and Tuesday 5th June (Week 7). However, our food & beverage outlets
will remain open as follows:

Student Heart Health – free screenings in Week 8
On June 12th and 13th June, you’ll have a special opportunity to take
part in free heart screenings on campus. Taking just a few minutes, these
screenings can help spot cardiac abnormalities that often go unnoticed for
many years, allowing for these conditions to be monitored and managed.
It is estimated that as many as 130,000 young people may have an
undiagnosed heart condition.
This event is charity-run, and sign-up details and more information can be
found at http://studenthearthealth.co.uk/. You can also get daily heart
health tips and news by ‘Liking’ Student Heart Health on Facebook
or following @SHH_Trust on Twitter.
GUM Clinic – Tuesday Week 8
Our final GUM Clinic of this academic year will be taking place on
Tuesday 12th June in Room 2 from 12pm – as always, it’s completely
free and confidential, so there’s no better time to get a clean bill of
sexual health before heading out for a summer of fun!
Beyond the Bubble – new issue up online
The latest edition of our newsletter for students living
off-campus is now up online, and features information
about crime prevention, noise levels, deposit protection, the
proposed Leamington study space, upcoming community
events and more. Take a read at
www.warwicksu.com/beyondthebubble/
Union Involvement Awards – Tuesday Week 8
On Tuesday 12th June, Warwick SU will be holding its
first-ever Involvement Awards at 8pm in The Copper Rooms,
celebrating the hard work and dedication of every volunteer
who contributes to our Union.
The event is open to everyone, but is primarily aimed at our
volunteers – SSLC reps, councillors, union officers, committee
and forum members, Inspire volunteers, STARS committee and
Advice Centre receptionists. We couldn’t do it without you! For more
information, visit www.warwicksu.com/involvementawards.
EURO 2012 • The Society Awards
The European Championships start on Friday 8th
June (Week 7) and, as always, we’ll be showing
every single match live on the big screen in the
Students’ Union!
We’ve printed up special Euro 2012 wallplanners
which will available soon around the SU – these will
allow you to keep track of all the match scores and
find out which games will be showing where. All
the major fixtures will take place in Copper Rooms
1 or 2, so there’s no better place to watch England
crash out on penalties in the Quarters after having
a goal disallowed in stoppage time (look, let’s not
kid ourselves, we all know it’s bound to happen).
We can’t wait for the tournament to get started,
and hope that you’ll join us in supporting your
national team in the best atmosphere on campus.
As an extra incentive, we’re offering special 4-pint
jugs of Carlsberg or Strongbow during matches for
£8, with Purple also available!
Societies Awards 2012
THE SOCIETY AWARDS 2012
26th June - Week 10
This year we’re revamping the Societies Awards to properly
recognise all the great activities that Warwick students
get up to. Dust off your dinner jacket and break out the
dresses as we go upmarket and head to the Butterworth
Hall as you have never seen it before…
On Tuesday 26th June (Week 10), guests will be treated
to a luxurious light supper with dessert to die for as we
reveal the lucky winners. You will be entertained by some
fantastic talent from our own societies, with music, dance
and even magic! As if this wasn’t enough, we’ll round off
the celebration of this year’s achievements with a drink or
two at the Terrace Bar after-party.
Tickets are available online now for £15 via
www.warwicksu.com/events - make sure you buy well
in advance to avoid disappointment, as places are strictly
limited. Table plans will be going online nearer the time!

Seafood week at Xananas
ON THE PIAZZA
Whenever the sun SHINES!
The weather’s been looking mighty fine of
late, so that means that we’ll be sparking up
the BBQ out on the Piazza from 12pm daily
whenever the sun comes out. Head on down
and grab yourself some grill – both meat and
vegetarian options are available!
With summer almost upon us, get yourself in
shape by trying a healthy, lighter option to your
weekly diet. We’ll be dishing up tasty portions
of brain-food in Xananas throughout Week 7 to
help with your revision – expect fresh prawns,
mussels, shellfish and more!
