They organise inter-society events such as the carnival, they make sure that societes are represented in the highest levels of the Unions' democracy and have regular contributions to Union and Wider Media. So its a key job, and we need 6 good people to do it. To lead, to support, to represent socieites and to ensure that they grow and maintain their integral position within UPSU.

The University of Portsmouth Skydive Club is teaming up with RAG (Raising and Giving) to organise a charity skydiving event on the 26th April to mark the start of RAG week, and if you raise enough money you can skydive for FREE!

We're offering the option of doing either a tandem skydive or a weekend-long static line (solo) course; please visit http://www.skydiveport.co.uk/rag for more details about each type of jump.

The MINIMUM amount you need to raise in sponsorship to skydive for free is £250, which includes transport to the dropzone (near Salisbury).

The money raised from the event will be going to this year's RAG charities; The Rowans Hospice, Macmillan Cancer Support and The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease (NACC).

We're holding a meeting in Function Room 1 at the Union on Tuesday 11th March at 6:30pm, where we will explain more about the charities and the skydive itself, and you'll have to opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

To sign up to the RAG charity skydive event please e-mail rag@skydiveport.co.uk stating if you would like to do a tandem skydive or a static line course, and also if you require transport.

Please spread the word about this event and get all your friends involved!

Although, the last time I did an abseil I almost chickened out at the last minute - so will need some company to egg me on!!!! You better do it too Sarah! :P ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,33,4387.htm#4387 babyvengeance Fri, 25 Jan 2008 23:16:54 GMT Get Involved: clubs, societies, democracy, volunteering, RAG, and more... > General chat http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,33,4386.htm#4386
On Saturday 19th April you can help raise some money for them by taking part in a sponsored abseil, from the Civic Offices in Guildhall Square.

Last year saw members of the LGBT Society and the Ethics, Equality and Diversity committee doing just this on a very windy day in December, and raising awareness and money for World Aids Day. So if you haven't done it before, just ask one of them - I'm pretty sure most would say that it's an opportunity not to be missed!!!

It costs just £10 to have a go - so why not get yourselves signed up and get all your friends and family to sponsor you!!

If it all seems a bit daunting, how about getting a team together, of your sports club/society/housemates!! And of course, do it in fancy dress!!!

If you want to get signed up - email me and I'll get a registration form to you!

there's the facebook group to join if you want to get Stephen Fry a Knighthood, alternatively, go straight to the downing street petition and sign it.

The game has varied rules depending on what region and decade it was played in. Traditionally, the game is now played with larger or snakebite; a combination of both larger and cider black.

Universities particpate in this game as a way to set out to ruin freshers, likened to when how the first game came about. It is played with either a 5pence piece or a copper coin, again depending on the university it is played in.

In the UK, Portsmouth University is famous for the particpation of Touch Cup in its unions Waterhole, particuarly amongst sports clubs and is played with Snakebite and a 5pence coin.

The national Touch Cup championships take place in Bristol during the month of May each year." ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,33,4154.htm#4154 skribla Sat, 10 Nov 2007 00:12:37 GMT Get Involved: clubs, societies, democracy, volunteering, RAG, and more... > General chat http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,33,4147.htm#4147 http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,33,4147.htm#4147 silent_rob Thu, 08 Nov 2007 02:22:18 GMT Get Involved: clubs, societies, democracy, volunteering, RAG, and more... > General chat http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,33,4047.htm#4047
