Blimey Bill there’s a lot to talk about this week.
How many Cartmellians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Don’t be ridiculous, someone from Cartmel couldn’t change a lightbulb.

You’ve probably started to notice a million posters being plastered around campus telling you to vote for this or that. Yep, it’s FTO elections! Furness had the highest voter turnout in the JCR elections which is a pretty impressive achievement for the smallest college, so let’s try and keep that title and don’t forget to have your say when voting opens next week. Vote Fest is taking place next Thursday in Alex Sq. where there’ll be candidate speeches, free stuff, competitions, entertainment… and much more!

Jam in Furness / Cocktails
Jam-In-Furness is happening on Thursday of Week 8 which is an evening featuring live jazz music, and this term it’s also a cocktail night – so a great excuse to dress up and act all sophisticated. Can’t wait to see you there!
If you made it to the end of this week you deserve a gold star. Unfortunately I don’t have any gold stars so a pat on the back will have to suffice. Unfortunately I don’t know who you are or where you are so a vague sense of self-achievement will have to do…
