How do you do!Welcome all to the second edition of Playground for 2012!

The year has started quickly and the social and sporting events have gone off with a bang! We all loved the freebies at O’Day and the Glasshouse Bar was packed to see Sneaky Sound System rock the room. Make sure you keep an eye out on our Facebook page for regular event updates and comps (see pg 5).

This month, we’re bringing you all things British!

Celebrating fads, food and famous faces, you can join in the fun at the Queen’s Birthday Bash on Friday 20 April in the Loft (KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON PARTYING!).

Love her or hate her, the Queen’s Birthday gets us all a day off, so lets tip our bowler hats her way & have a cup of tea!

ed.says!

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. ~Walter BagehotBritish political Analyst, Economist and influential journalist from the mid-Victorian period 1826-1877

HELLO!

As we are all well and truly back into the swing of things, now

is a great opportunity to get involved with some of the fun stuff

on campus. Make sure you get to the Union's Queen's Birthday

Party, in her honour we will be celebrating all things British

here at UTS.

Make sure you take advantage of the 10% Student discount at all

UTS Union food and beverage outlets and the extended trading

hours at the Concourse Café and The Hub. Great services like

this have been made possible because of the introduction of the

Student Services Amenities Fee introduced this year along with

the support of the University.

It is great to have seen such an awesome start to the year

and I am really looking forward to all the exciting events that

the Union has in store.

Cheery-O!

CREATURE COMFORTS WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=OB-OVUOJ1RM&FEATURE=RELATED

The clever Nick Park created ‘Creature Comforts’, featuring the voices of British

non-actors in the same vein as the “man on the street” Vox Pop interviews.

He ingeniously converted these into voices for animals being interviewed on

different topics!

ART ATTACK WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=CO7ETYXOMAC

We all remember Art Attack from the 90s! Where Neil Buchanan brings to life

famous faces using household items like, money, pasta and anything else he can

get his hands on! It ran from 1990 to 2007... Give your eyeballs a shock!
