  • Scrutinised Long Manifestos - Tt20 (2Nd Election)
    SCRUTINISED LONG MANIFESTOS - TT20 (2ND ELECTION) CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT Amy Gregg (Ex-Treasurer, Exeter College ) - Candidate for President-Elect - Long Manifesto The Union has had significant setbacks in the last few years. I did not intend to run this term, but it is clear that the Union needs a President who has the experience and the capability to set it back on the right course. The Union can do so much better, and the Union must do so much better. As an undergraduate, I was President of the Cambridge Union. During this time I ran a record-setting membership drive, managed a £100,000 budget, and hosted over thirty speakers including Stephen Fry, Quentin Blake and Moazzam Begg. After leaving Cambridge I was a trainee solicitor at a Magic Circle Law firm, and I now hold an offer for a pupillage to be a barrister. I have real world experience which I can use to improve our Union as well. I previously served on committee for 7 terms. In this time I arranged 5 debates, including confirming 5/6 speakers for the Comedy debate. I ran Debates, Panels and Speaker events, confirmed multiple speakers and chaired the Union’s largest committee. I also spent over 50 days of vacation working for the Union and made 3 winning paper speeches. As Treasurer I secured 29 debate Floor Prizes, 12 New Treasurer’s Treats and coordinated sponsorship from a major Scholarship fund - ensuring transparency by publishing the audited accounts on the app. This demonstrates that I have the ability to run the Union, but it also made me realise: the Union needs real change - change only an experienced President can bring.

    PLANNING COMMITTEE 10th January 2018 Application 17/1541/FUL Agenda Number Item Date Received 5th October 2017 Officer Michael Hammond Target Date 4th January 2018 Ward Market Site Cambridge Union Society 9A Bridge Street Cambridge CB2 1UB Proposal Demolition of ancillary buildings and removal of 1930's facade at the Grade II listed Cambridge Union Society. Construction of replacement facade, reinstatement and refurbishment of historic features and internal and external access and refurbishment works including enlargement of existing cafe (Use Class A3) and reopening of 'footlight's' entertainment space (sui generis). Demolition of squash courts and un-listed 3-5 Round Church Street in the conservation area. Construction of new link building for access and ancillary uses for the Union Society. Construction of adjacent new building with ground floor restaurant (Use Class A3) with 45 room post-graduate student accommodation above (Use Class C2) together with basement storage and services. Applicant Cambridge Union Society and Trinity College SUMMARY The development accords with the Development Plan for the following reasons: The principle of demolition and development has been established under the previously permitted application (16/0673/FUL). In comparison with the previously permitted plans (16/0673/FUL) the proposal is not considered to exacerbate the level of harm caused to heritage assets. The proposed changes compared to the previously approved development would not impact on the accessibility of the building. RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL 1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION/AREA CONTEXT 1.1 The Cambridge Union Society is located in the historic core of the City Centre. It occupies a large site on the south-west corner of Park Street and Round Church Street.

  • Aaron Riches of Royal City Interview: I Would Estimate That I've Attended in the Region of 2,000 Gigs, Maybe More. I've Witn
    Aaron Riches of Royal City Interview: I would estimate that I’ve attended in the region of 2,000 gigs, maybe more. I’ve witnessed some amazing things during this rolling cavalcade of sound, light and human interaction. Standing as part of the tight circle surrounding him on the dance floor, I all but spoke in tongues as a Blind Boy of Alabama hollered out the deep scars of his heritage in a gospel frenzy. A mouse held me transfixed, the tiny thing somehow avoiding death by mosh, weaving miraculously through pile-driving boots to bolt for freedom in the gents - as Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Marky tore the sucker up. Rickie Lee Jones descended into seemingly serious mental collapse before my very eyes on a rainy evening in Birmingham. I recoiled in horror as Angus Young thrust his naked, stinky, antipodean arse onto my face. (My friend Andy nicked the metal man’s tie. Still treasures it. Entry that night was 50p with a voucher from Sounds and the support was a film of Kiss. The venue burned down the following week.) I won’t go on. On June 3rd this year, I was presented with a memory to rank up there with them all. It did not involve daredevil rodents, sweaty Australian posteriors or any of that. To many present, such an act of grace may be viewed entirely differently and is probably long forgotten. But it will certainly stick with me. It was a gig almost not meant to happen. The Broken Family Band had spent a great deal of effort in organizing a long-awaited tour for Knife In The Water, with whom they would go out as a labour of true love.

  • Bio // Dan Mangan // Nice, Nice, Very Nice
    BIO // DAN MANGAN // NICE, NICE, VERY NICE Album: Nice, Nice, Very Nice Catalogue #: A&C055 Format: LP / DD / CD CD/Digital/LP Release Date: August 10, 2010 Heralded as a favorite among Canada's new breed of independent musicians, Dan Mangan’s travels initially took him everywhere but home. Spending most of the last six years toting guitar and merch-sack, Dan experienced Vancouver as more of a resting place than roost. He toured nearly non-stop in support of his debut album Postcards And Daydreaming, testing his words, honing his craft, and building a dedicated following. Graciously, if un-strategically, Mangan pretty much accepted every gig that came his way. He train’d and plane'd on his own throughout North America, Europe and Australia because he couldn’t afford to bring a band along. When he cobbled together funds to get a second album made, he enlisted Toronto based producer John Critchley and spent weeks at Green Door Studios, bringing in musical collaborators from around the country. By the time that sophomore album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice (named in reference to a Kurt Vonnegut calypso) hit the airwaves across his homeland, Dan had already cut his teeth on the road. Recently signed to Arts & Crafts, the trail-blazing indie label that brought us Broken Social Scene, Feist, and Stars, Dan Mangan is the first on their roster from the Pacific Northwest. Though Vancouverites once envied the thriving music scenes of Montreal and Toronto, Mangan’s rain-soaked hometown has since developed a potent scene of its own – in recent years, its eclectic and supportive musical community has produced the likes of The New Pornographers, Ladyhawk, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Black Mountain, and Japandroids.
