freshers’ is coming...<br />

It’s all systems go here at UCFBSU<br />

<strong>Wembley</strong>, where we have spent<br />

all summer planning an amazing<br />

Freshers’ programme for our new<br />

incoming students.<br />

When you arrive in September, you<br />

can expect your UCFB journey to<br />

begin with a bang. With 12 massive<br />

events in just 8 days, there is<br />

something for everyone!<br />

...wembley is ready<br />

From club nights to live music,<br />

beer festivals to music festivals, we<br />

bring to you an action packed week<br />

of diverse and dynamic events,<br />

designed to help you meet new<br />

friends, familiarise yourself with your<br />

new home, and most importantly -<br />

have an amazing week to remember!<br />

We’ve created partnerships with<br />

some of the biggest and best events<br />

organisations to make this possible,<br />

including the world-famous Comedy<br />

Central brand, and Late Night<br />

London Students, a division of<br />

Novus Leisure; the UK’s largest<br />

nightclub operator with nearly 80<br />

venues in London alone, such as<br />

the iconic Tiger Tiger and Piccadilly<br />

Institute.<br />

The week culminates in a brand new<br />

event for <strong>2016</strong>, Freshers’ Festival,<br />

something we are very proud to<br />

establish here at UCFB.<br />

some of the faciltiies we use such as<br />

To find out more about UCFB Students’ Union, turn to page 2 1


ucfb students’ union:<br />

get out what you put in - these could be the best years of your life!<br />

What is the Students’ Union?<br />

UCFB Students’ Union is a members<br />

club which represents the needs of<br />

the students at UCFB. We organise<br />

everything from student groups to<br />

events, in order to make your UCFB<br />

experience the best that it can be.<br />

What kinds of events do the SU<br />

host?<br />

We aim to cater for everyone at<br />

UCFB, and run a diverse calendar of<br />

events throughout the calendar year<br />

for you to attend.<br />

Our events are always given a<br />

colour banding to make it easier for<br />

students to identify how much things<br />

cost. Black band events usually cost<br />

anywhere between £5 and £10 per<br />

ticket, and ticket prices for gold<br />

band events really vary dependant<br />

on the event!<br />

Examples of black band events<br />

include club nights, celebrity DJs,<br />

Comedy Central Live, socials and<br />

fancy dress parties and live music.<br />

Examples of gold band events we<br />

have offered include a trip to Ladies<br />

Day at Cheltenham Festival, Thorpe<br />

Park Fright Nights, the Summer Ball<br />

and a trip to Amsterdam.<br />

As well as our in-house black and<br />

gold band events, we work with<br />

numerous external parters to get our<br />

students the best possible access to<br />

some of the hottest events in London<br />

at discount rates, everything from<br />

the biggest clubs in central London<br />

to tickets to live sports fixtures.<br />

What Volunteering/Fundraising<br />

Opportunities are there?<br />

We run numerous campaigns and<br />

fundraising events throughout<br />

the year, such as our Food Bank<br />

collection every Christmas, and the<br />

UCFB Sleepout, where students raid<br />

the attic for their sleeping bags and<br />

set-up for the night outside <strong>Wembley</strong><br />

Park tube station to raise money and<br />

awareness on homeless issues.<br />

We also have partnerships with<br />

community groups and specialist<br />

sports charities who have<br />

opportunties for volunteering. If there<br />

is an issue or cause close to your<br />

heart, let us know and we can help<br />

you to run events and campaigns in<br />

support.<br />

What student groups can I get<br />

involved with?<br />

Student groups are a massive part<br />

of student life. Finding like-minded<br />

students who share the same<br />

interests as you will lead to some of<br />

your strongest friendships, and we<br />

actively encourage all students to get<br />

involved in our Student Involvment<br />

Programme.<br />

We already have a number of<br />

societies which have been formed<br />

by our students that you can get<br />

involved in, but the key thing to<br />

remember is that all our societies<br />

start with you. If you have a keen<br />

interest in something and there<br />

isn’t a society for it, you can start<br />

your own! We will provide you with<br />

support, and help to fund society<br />

activities when possible.<br />

What about sports?<br />

UCFB Athletic Union looks after all<br />

of our sporting provision at UCFB.<br />

Part of the Students’ Union, the<br />

Athletic Union is comprised of<br />

all of our sporting clubs, at both<br />

representational and recreational<br />

levels.<br />

We have numerous representational<br />

teams for both male and female<br />

students in our football teams,<br />

coached by qualified professionals<br />

(including some from our partners<br />

at Fulham FC and the Chelsea<br />

Community Foundation), which play<br />

in the regional British University and<br />

Colleges Sports (BUCS) Leagues,<br />

as well as in the London Univeristy<br />

Sports Leagues (LUSL).<br />

Places in our elite representational<br />

teams are awarded via a trials<br />

process, which all of our students<br />

are welcome to participate in. We<br />

also have the Intramural Sports<br />

(IMS) programme, where you and<br />

your friends can form a football team<br />

to compete in the IMS League.<br />

And if football isn’t your thing, we<br />

also have a Snowsports Club, which<br />

enjoyed a trip to the Alps earlier<br />

this year, and a Darts club which<br />

competes in the local darts league.<br />

As with societies, if you have a<br />

passion for a sport and we don’t<br />

field a team, we actively encourage<br />

all of our students to form one!<br />

How can I join?<br />

All students at UCFB are eligible for<br />

membership, and we have some<br />

fantastic packages to help you get<br />

the most out of your time at UCFB,<br />

and save some money!<br />

The Black Card<br />

This is our way of saving you money.<br />

Purchase a Black Card and you<br />

don’t pay for any of our black band<br />

events for the whole year. Yes, you<br />

don’t need to go back and re-read<br />

that. Buy a Black Card and you’ll get<br />

VIP access to all of our black band<br />

events are completely free, saving<br />

you money all year round!<br />

And as if that wasn’t incentive<br />

enough, black card holders receive<br />

exclusive discounts for our Gold<br />

band events as well, saving you even<br />

more money! We limit the number<br />

of Black cards sold (so that we can<br />

guarantee entry to events), so make<br />

sure you get yours early!<br />

Black cards are available at our<br />

online store:<br />

https://online.ucfb.com<br />

Please note that Black cards do<br />

not include membership to any<br />

individual societies or membership<br />

to the Athletic Union, and club fees<br />

vary dependant on your sport of<br />

interest.<br />

to get a regular Oyster card to tie<br />

you over in the meantime.<br />

to ignite a party from the moment<br />

they hit the stage.<br />

They’re a well-known name on the<br />

circuit, and can count artists such as<br />

Jessie J, Example, Beverley Knight,<br />

Fleur East, Shy FX, Ms Dynamite<br />

and the late Amy Winehouse in their<br />

list of collaborators.<br />

You may also have spotted them on<br />

the X Factor back in 2012, where<br />

they made it as far as the judges<br />

houses.<br />

Leeds, Boardmasters, Lovebox,<br />

Parklife and even the o2 Arena,<br />

The Midnight Beast first found<br />

fame back in 2009 with their hit<br />

cover of Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok”, which<br />

found its way to the top of global<br />

charts and a place in YouTube<br />

history.<br />

Since then, they’ve found further<br />

success with more original and<br />

parody songs online, and their debut<br />

album reached number 5 in the<br />

iTunes charts.<br />

Things only got better for the boys,<br />

who landed their own TV show on<br />

Channel 4, and a book deal as well.<br />

A firm favourite across the University<br />

circuit here in the UK, you can expect<br />

lots of ridiculous onstage banter plus<br />

renditions of their hits such as “Let’s<br />

be Friends” and “I Kicked a Shark in<br />

the Face”.<br />

Elden to his friends, which we are)<br />

forever.<br />

Famous for his varied style of oldschool<br />

cheese-pop and “classic<br />

bangers”, Elden has supported<br />

some of the biggest names in the DJ<br />

world, and found further achievement<br />

curating his own shows, the highly<br />

successful “Blue Rinse” club series,<br />

(Oxford, London) and “House Party”.<br />

Earlier this year he was booked for<br />

the mainstage at London’s world<br />

famous music venue KOKO.<br />

Be prepared for shout-out anthems<br />

and classics in his set on the<br />

day’s performances.<br />

FAQs<br />

When will I recieve my Freshers’<br />

wristband?<br />

There will be several opportunities<br />

to collect your Freshers’ wristband<br />

when you join UCFB. We will be in<br />

the foyer at Victoria Halls on Sunday<br />

11th, and also have a wristband<br />

exchange at our Freshbook event on<br />

Sunday 11th, and also at enrolment<br />

on Tuesday 13th.<br />

Can I buy a wristband when i arrive<br />

at UCFB?<br />

If any are still available, we will be<br />

selling them at all of the above<br />

locations. However, we de nately<br />

recommend you buy online as this<br />

is a hugely popular week of events<br />

at UCFB, and there are limited<br />

wristband packages available, so we<br />

cannot guarantee that any will be left<br />

by this time.<br />

Can I reserve a wristband in<br />

advance, and pay for it when I get<br />

there?<br />

Unfortunately not. Wristbands are<br />

sold on a first-come, first-serve<br />

basis. If you want to purchase a<br />

wristband but are unable to pay<br />

online, please email t.badger@ucfb.<br />

com.<br />

Are there individual event tickets?<br />

In order to provide the best valuefor-money,<br />

we can only confirm that<br />

wristband options will be available.<br />

Because we use various venues for<br />

our Freshers’ events, some may have<br />

a higher capacity than others, and<br />

we may be able to offer individual<br />

tickets at a later date, although this<br />

is not guaranteed.<br />

Can I buy a wristband for a friend?<br />

Freshers wristbands are limited to one<br />

package per student. Unfortunately,<br />

we do not offer wristband packages<br />

to non-UCFB students. You will be<br />

required to show proof of ID when<br />

claiming your wristband.<br />

Thats a discount of more than<br />

30%, saving you even more!<br />
