- Bars:
- Following a much needed re-furb, Preston students have been privileged with superior drinking facilities. The £6m spent on the Students Union is reaping social benefits. Swanky 1200 capacity bar/club 53 Degrees is proving a popular venue, featuring regular club nights Back2Future and Promo, comedy nights, guest club nights and bands and djs from Turin Brankes to Tim Westwood.
The Source, somewhat pretentiously refusing to decide what it is -"we are not going to attach a label"... is actually a cafe/bar with some late licensing, which is a calmer evening alternative to 53 Degrees.
|
- Functions:
- Back2Future is held every monday at the Union club 53 Degrees and promises a fun, if sometimes regretful start to the week... Promo, Preston's regular thursday event achieves its popularity through performances by live bands, djs and appearnces by random c-listers -2005 freshers can await (with baited breath, no doubt) Jo from S Club and Anthony from Big Brother.
|
- Major Social Events:
- Freshers' Week, Christmas Ball, Extreme Sports Ball, Longest Night 6pm-3am, Longest Day 12noon-3am. Plenty of black tie fun to be had. There's also an event called the Lancashire Cup where UCLAN takes on Lancaster Uni in
all sports in a one day sporting frenzy (and of course a big pissup afterwards).
|
- Clubs & Societies:
- The standard sports clubs range alphabetically from Aikido to Windsurfing, with a bit of Skydiving and Gaelic Football to mix it up.
The less athletic societies have the usual cultural, religious and political range. And then there's the Roleplaying, Wargaming, Sci Fi and Fantasy Soc. Enough said.
