Entertainments Calender 2008

 

 

If you come to Harper Adams, you will have a very varied and a very full social calendar, guaranteed! Just check out the current one above! Every week sees different events taking place, not to mention the four cracking Balls that we have each year!

So here's what a typical week will consist of once the lectures have ended and the evenings have begun... of course, every week is different and it's down to you what you get up too. But this is what the SU provides at the very basic!

 

Mondays

Film night! In the Lounge Bar on the wide screen, it's a mini cinema! Bring your sticky toffee popcorn, get your hands on a pint/drink/stubbie and enjoy!
A chilled out start to the week and a good end for a Monday.

 

Alternatively, if your up for going out we have Fubar, Central Square in Newport is open from 10pm. Monday nights usually sees hundreds of Harper Students in there for their weekly bash to start off the week.

 

Tuesdays

Comedy Night! or Acoustic Night! Either a laugh out loud comedy act or a guest musician, who are always on top form. You cannot beat a quality acoustic session by the legend that is Dunderhill!! Comedy Nights are highly recommended! We are Klang, Rob Deering and other well known names provide quality entertainment.

 

Wednesdays

Like all Uni's, Wednesday afternoons are kept free for sport and non-academic activities. Away or home matches, either way, there's usually a Harper team playing somewhere for you to support on the sidelines.

Wednesday Night. The big one. Compulsory dress up! You must attend! Often mixed with alcohol, if you wish (!!), it is often the unknown bands that get the party started! Whatever your taste, you will be dancing the night away till the weee small hours of the morning.

Remember: no fancy dress = a RAG Fine. Anything from a quid to a fiver! You've been warned!

 

Thursdays

Lounge Bar socials, or a quiet night in, recovering from last night, or working or sleeping, you make Thursdays what it is! Often an event such as a Pub Quiz will take place or a Beer Festival might occur every once in a while.
Harper Forum is also usually on at 7pm - an interesting lecture/tutorial related to the land sector - most definately not like your usual lectures!

The Student Union General Meetings oftern take place on a Tuesday/Thursday, so check the calendar.

 

Fridays

Varies every week, but if theres not something happening at Harper, it's time to check out the Bars & Pubs in Newport!
Either way, your a student! And students are very well known for keeping themselves entertained!

 

Up for anight out in another town? Try a minibus to Shrewsbury or Stafford, rates vary but you can get a good deal between a group of you. Guaranteed journey back to - piece of mind!

 

Saturdays

A day of catching-up on some sleep, assignments and doing whatever you wish to do on a Saturday! Personally, I suggest you checkout the links pages and view the Excite Yourself! page - and take your pick!

Whether it's the cinema or snow boarding, surely it's far more exciting than spending all day inside doing assignments!?! Often a lot of the agricultural Students will return home to help out, but only if it's a rest weekend!!

 

The Royal Vets College, Royal Agricultural College, Scottish Agricultural College, Newcastle and plenty of other Universities often come up/down/side to side for Agric block fixtures - keep an eye out for these as a big name DJ is usually on the cards as a guest DJ on the Saturday night!!

 

Sundays

Perhaps that assignment you didn't do yesterday? Or are the parents coming to visit? (dash around, tidy up etc) Whatever you do, get yourself to the RAG Quiz and be entertained! Amusing, raises money for charity and there's often prizes... of sorts!

 

Other Big Nights

 

Fresher's Ball

Always a fantastic start to the year!

 

Bonfire Night

Fireworks, a bonfire; usually draws in lots of the locals.

 

Cirencester Block Fixture

A day full of all the possible sports between the two Uni's. Last year, I do believe Harper won everything... Always a well spirited event, with playful banter from both sides. The Royal Agricultural College is seen as Harper's rival, so beating them is a win or die situation!

 

The Christmas Ball

Organised by the forth years, a lot of effort is made to ensure that everyone goes home for the festive season in mile high spirits.

 

SU Elections

Let us retire! Vote in your choice of students for the next year of the Student Union. Sound boring? Uh-uh! Hilarious and entertaining evenings.

 

Paddy's Day Ball

Let the Irish entice you with Guinness, Magners and other such drinks along with excellent Irish bands and other mucsical talents. An extremely enjoyable night!

 

RAG Week

A week full of various RAG antics, all in aid of charity.

 

Club Dinners

Member of a sport team? Look forward to the probable Club Dinner to complement the team.

 

Summer Ball

A 12hr Extravaganza! An unbelievable night of hard core partying and excellent music, with Dance Tents, Acoustic Chillout zones, rides, food and plenty of bands to see! Rock on!
