Hah.. no... A pint costs 2 quid + in the SU Bar because the university charges the SU to loan the building.. so the SU are in debt to the university to begin with.

It's all pretty screwed up.

man that blows... I feel sorry for you ! We have the FTSE bar, where drink prices change all night, that's the only time you'd find a pint @ that price !

Entry is open to people from universities that affiliate to BUSC; www.buscevents.com.

Most unis affiliate, so just get in touch with your uni snowsports club. If they don't want to affiliate; contact alex@buscevents.com and you can see what can be done.

Check out the trailer for the BUSC movie "Choice" from last year, covering all the events and comps from 07-08. Nearing completition now and set to be the best movie entitled Choice ever! :
