Societies Carnival 2006
</div>
</div>
<p>
<strong>Coming soon to your Union is a very special event. It has never been attempted before and is tipped to be the best night of entertainment to be held so far this year!</strong>
</p>
<p>
It is the one and only Societies Takeover, which will take place at the Union on 23rd February!
</p>
<p>
This event is going to be huge with over 20 different societies taking part, showing you just what it is they do. There will be something for everyone, from the best new DJs to live bands home-grown at your very own Uni.
</p>
<p>
Come and check out the talents of City Safari, an indie/rock band with the mellowest vocals you will ever hear, and School of Rock, with their unbelievable energy and vivacious performance style.
</p>
<p>
There will also be an open-mic session held in Via Lattea where you will be able to escape from the craziness of Lux and C02, and chill out to various acoustic performances whilst you give your taste buds a treat by indulging in our cultural food selection.
</p>
<p>
If this is not enough then there will also be a debate on a variety of topics (both fun and serious), plenty of fun and games (including giant Twister) and a very special game show.
</p>
<p>
As always it is never too late to get involved. If your society wants to get in on this amazing event then get in touch by emailing <a href="mailto:studentactivitiesofficer@upsu.net?subject=Takeover">studentactivitiesofficer@upsu.net</a> 
</p>
<p>
We are especially keen to get more cultural and political societies on board. We also hold meetings every Thursday afternoon at 1pm in the Sabb Office  &ndash; pop along and get involved!
</p>
<p>
Tickets are on sale now and  cost &pound;3. You can pick yours up from either the Union reception, or from the Sabb Office.
