Hey! Another Monday, another Bev’s Hills. There’s lots going on so listen carefully.
Firstly, have you considered running? Watch our promotional video below for some inspiration and consider taking the leap.
If you do want to nominate yourself for a position on the JCR then you can do that from TODAY at 10am and you must do it before Friday 4pm. Just head over to nominations.lusu.co.uk. There will be a candidates meeting where everything regarding campaigning and so on will be explained to you, so don’t worry if you’re feeling a little lost!
Hustings is taking place on Tuesday 25th November at 6pm in Biology Lecture Theatre. The Facebook event is here. This is where all candidates give a little speech in front of the whole college and answer questions. Even if you’re not running, definitely come down. It’s always a great laugh and most people are pretty smashed by the end of it. BYOB.
Voting takes place in Week 8, Wednesday 10am – Friday 4pm. You’ll receive an email with your voter code! In the last few years Furness has consistently had the highest voter turn out, so let’s keep that up (or Frankie might kill us)!
Lancaster Award Event
Fylde and Furness College are teaming up to provide a variety of workshops in the coming weeks one of which is a workshop to tell you everything about The Lancaster Award! Any questions, come on down to our Q&A Evening. Also… free pizza! It’s on 25th November at 5:30pm in the Fylde Common Room.
Time to Talk
Big thanks to everyone who came down to our Time to Talk event last week where we, as a college, signed the pledge along with many university societies. Check out the photos on Facebook! And also a special thank you for a wonderful performance from LU Theatre Group.
Carter Shield
Whilst we’re on the topic of thanks… another big thank you to everyone that came down to Zorb Football in the Carter Shield yesterday. It was amazing fun and we came in 4th place out of all the colleges. The next Carter Shield event is Ultimate Frisbee in Week 9, more info soon!
Battle of the Colleges
MORE THANKS. To everyone who represented Furness in Battle of the Colleges yesterday! Right, that’s all the thanks done now. Promise.
Winter Ball
THANK YOU- just kidding. Wanna come to the Winter Ball? Great, because you’re invited! Tickets are £25, a £10 deposit must be paid by this Friday. Check out the Facebook event for up to date details!
‘Jam’ in Furness returns – Friday 28th November
Paul Palmer and his musicians, will once again host our ‘JAM’ IN FURNESS session. Starting at 8.00pm in Furness JCR we hope you will kick start your weekend by joining us for this free event. If you play and instrument or sing, then we hope you will consider joining in with the fun. If not, come along and enjoy the music. If you wish to join in the Jam session, and have a particular piece of music you would like to play, please send this to Bev ([email protected]) in advance so that I can pass these to Paul to create a play list.
Furness Beer and Cider Festival – 4th to 6th December inclusive.
The Beer Festival and most of the events are free of charge. The only charge is for the Comedy Night on Thursday 4th December, where we ask for a donation of £2 as tickets are limited.

Sports Results
Furness won the Women’s Darts this week vs. Fylde, 4-3. Netball A’s lost 34-17 to Grizedale. Football A’s lost 3-1 vs. Bowland and the Football B’s lost 3-2 to Graduate.
That’s All
Anyway, I’ll leave you with this thought. Life is all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship’s kitchen.
As always, much love, Ollie xx
