Due to exceptional demand we have been in touch with our coach company and provisionally reserved a larger coach for the Alton  Towers trip on the 9th June.  We will be releasing these extra seats at 6pm tonight (Wednesday 25th May) and closing booking at 9am on Friday morning.

Because of the additional cost of a larger coach, if there is not enough interest we will have to cancel these extra spaces, however, we will inform those who book on by Friday morning if this is the case.

To sign up to the additional spaces, click here.

Sign up for the Alton Towers Trip opens at 9am on Wednesday 25th May here. Make sure you book early, as spaces for the trip are limited.

The cost of the trip is £34 for transport and park entry, cheaper than the on the gate price of £39.50!

The trip takes place on Thursday 9th June, and we will be leaving Butler bright and early to make sure we have a full day at the park.

If you have any queries about the trip, please get in touch with Social Chair, Helen Young (contact)

Good luck to everyone taking exams! 

Over the whole exam period college will be providing a free breakfast in the bar; Monday-Saturday, 8am-10am, with free cereal, toast, fruit and hot and cold drinks, so make sure that you take advantage of this! 

For those feeling a bit hungrier the kitchen also serves cooked breakfasts Friday-Sunday between 12pm and 5pm, at the bargain price of £2.95.

The 2011 Durham Student Experience Survey is now live here.

For everyone who fills in the survey, college will put £5 towards the MUGA!

The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete, and is open to all undergraduates (Finalists included!) - so please help us to raise a significant chunk of the £25,000 we need to build the sports court. 

Open Mic Night this Friday!

8.30pm, Butler Bar - come along to enjoy the atmosphere and music or if you fancy getting up and playing then don't be shy!

If you would like to perform on Friday and need any special equipment (amps etc.) then get in touch with Owen Franklin (owen.franklin@durham.ac.uk).

There are sure to be some firm favourites as well as some new faces, so if you know anyone who wants to show off or give it a go then please encourage them to come along.
