A guide to all the events happening for Freshers' Week 2009 at Aberdeen University
Transcript of Freshers' Week 2009 - Ents Guide
Aberdeen University Students’
Association (AUSA) have organised a heap of phenomenal events for your consumption this year and this Entertainment Guide is here to ensure that you don’t miss a trick!
All events listed here are correct at the time of print, but chances are we’ll be adding to them and things may
change, so we highly recommend you also check out www.ausa.org.uk where any updates will be posted!
There will be a number of venues that will be hosting events. Let us quickly introduce them to you…
The Freshers’ Week Marquee is located on the King’s Pitches right at the heart of campus - and will be hosting the majority of daytime events like our famous Freshers’ Fayres.
JP’s University Bar & GrillIt’s better than Kings and Queens, its better than Diamond rings … WILDCATS …WILDCATS! That’s right folks, JP’s University Bar and Grill is all that and more! It’s located on Littlejohn Street so if you live in halls, the No.20 bus drops you off right outside - preventing perspiration and the effort of walking up Kilimanjaro and back to wet your whistle (“wet your whistle” - my Grandad wrote that bit!)
Anyways, back to business - what the hell goes on in this place? DJs check!... Live bands - check! Live sport - check! Pool tables - check! Food - check! Cheap drinks - check! Cocktails - check! Quiz - check! And lots more...
JP’s is home to many of our lovely sports teams and societies so, like Cheers, if you are planning on joining a club - “every one will know your name.” Basically it’s a top place to hang out with friends and be merry before you put on your dancing shoes and head along to one of the many discothèques (“Discotheque” - Grandad is back!) P.S. Top credit crunch tip: there are also always loads of discount and freebie passes at JP’s for the fore-mentioned discotheques.
