Welcome to Week 3!

If you're looking to blow off a little steam or just kick your weekend off with a bang, come to Edge tonight for Heroes and Villains!  Festivities commence at 9pm and tickets are available at the door (£2).  There will be prizes for the best costumes so if you have a sinister-looking curly moustache laying around, or just feel like wearing your undies on the outside, come on by!

And while you're contemplating issues of good vs evil, Week 3 is Academic Integrity Week!  The GSA, ISA and YUSU invite you to 'get techy and get sourcy' with a series of events and tutorial sessions including FREE PIZZA on tuesday night in Edge!

Timetables will be appearing on posters throughout campus, but till then, here's a rough idea of the schedule:

Other events this week include:

Pub Quiz on Wednesday, 27 Jan, at 8 pm.  This week's quiz is jointly hosted by the GSA, ISA and YUSU so it should quite crowded- come early!

Accoustic Night on Friday, 29 Jan at 8pm.  If you are interested in performing, please email events@yorkgsa.org

Friday the 29th is also the last day to buy your tickets for the GSA's daytrip to Durham!  The trip is Saturday 30 Jan, leaving Wentworth Foyer @ 9am, leaving Durham @ 5pm.  PG price £4.00, non-member price £6.60.  Get your tickets in the GSA office (open 10-4).

Or if you're not visiting Durham on Saturday, stop by the YUSU fair!  It's Saturday of week 3 (the 30th) in the Physics Exhibition Centre and James Hall.  Societies, Sports Clubs, Volunteering projects, RAG fundraising events and other opportunities - they'll all be there looking for new members and new ideas from you. Don't miss out!

Odds and Ends

Personal Attack Alarms

In case you were not aware personal attack alarms are available in the GSA Office. Just pop in during office hours (10am - 4pm) to collect yours for FREE!

Sexual Health Screening

As some of you may be aware YUSU and Sexual Health Nurses were around Wentworth on Tuesday offering free Chlamydia tests. If you missed out or would like to get a sexual health screening, please go to the Health Centre during one of their GUM drop-in sessions on Monday's or Wednesday's between 1pm and 2.15pm for help and advice.
