D I D Y O U K N O w . . .There is a cloak room avai lable at the Summer Bal l s i te, which doubles as lost property. So as wel l as looking after coats and bags ful l of jumpers for the crowds on their happy, but t i red and often chi l ly journey home, we also reunite many people who have lost phones, f r iends and other party essent ials dur ing the mayhem! Just a reminder that i f you want to br ing something warm along to the bal l and leave i t with us - for just £1 a go - you can (blankets and comfy shoes are popular too)!

Grad Ball is set for Friday 8th November at O2 Academy in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Tickets are on sale now from @ subu.org.uk/events

S U M M E R L O V I N ’S E N D U S Y O U R P H O T O S !With the Summer Hol idays fast approaching, we want to see your summer snaps. So, i f you f ind a great fest ival , coast l ine, or f ind anything else that has you feel ing summery, post i t to ‘SUBU Bournemouth’ on Facebook wal l or tweet us @SUBUBournemouth.

We personal ly love this shot of Bournemouth Beach and Pier!

Your shots can be as arty and interest ing as you want them to be. I f you take some good shots of Bournemouth, you could even enter them in to the Qual i ty Assurance Agency for Higher Education’s photography competit ion!

The competit ion is open to al l students studying in the UK. With the chance to win up to £500, entrants should submit their best photographs, demonstrat ing ‘The Student Exper ience’. Clos ing date for entr ies i s 16 August so grab those cameras! Check out the competit ion here: http://altur l .com/uhg4e

El iza and the Bear wi l l be br inging their own vers ion of folk-pop to the Summer Bal l th is year, when they headl ine the Mi lk Stage. Just to clar i fy, there is no member cal led El iza in this band. A 5-piece from London, the band comprises James Kel legher, Cal l ie Noakes, Mart in Dukelow, Chr is Brand, Paul Kevin Jackson.

E l iza and the Bear is the name of a long piece of per formance poetry by Eleanor Rees. I t ’s blurb says: “Rees’s use of fai ry stor ies and night v is ions radical ly re- imagines the female exper ience through the psychic col l i s ions of the body and our desi res.” E l iza & The Bear descr ibe themselves as alt- rock/indie, but there is a def inite folk element. Mult i layered ar rangements, pounding choruses and the al l -popular harmony make

for great summer music. With a sound that’s not diss imi lar to the l ikes of The Lumineers or Mumford and Sons – minus the banjo and upping the piano, their upl i f t ing melodies, harmonious vocals and heartfelt lyr ics are per fect Summer Bal l mater ial .

The band have just been on tour with Athlete and they have a fest ival f i l led summer ahead of them. Playing gigs such as Evolut ion Fest ival and The Great Escape, SUBU have been lucky enough to squeeze them on to the Summer Bal l l ine up as wel l .

Did you know that even Summer Bal ls can be ‘green’?

Here’s how SUBU do i t…..

Waste: Fest ivals generate lots of waste – we make sure we minimise this as much as poss ible.

We actively separate waste into recyclables and non-recyclables and then send al l plast ic, cardboard and glass waste for recycl ing.

Each year we only send ONE SKIP of non-recyclable waste to landf i l l – not bad consider ing that’s f rom 6,500 students party ing al l n ight.

Transpor t : To reduce the carbon footpr int of the Bal l we provide free coach transport to and from the s i te for students.

This means we’re helping to cut down on the number of taxis dr iv ing there and back and therefore reducing carbon emiss ions.

Got any ideas to help us be even greener next year? Emai l them to Sarah at:

Cardif f -born producer L incoln Bar rett – better known to bass-lovers as High Contrast – wi l l be headl in ing the Enter Stage at Summer Bal l th is year.

The seasoned pro has been making music s ince 2000 and is now on his 6th studio album.

Bar rett grew up more interested in f i lm soundtracks than chart music, and st i l l c i tes Wendy Car los’ ‘A Clockwork Orange’ soundtrack album and the Vangel is soundtrack for ‘B lade Runner’ as def ining musical inf luences. Bar rett f i rst became a fan of drum and bass aged 17 and short ly after began to make his own music.

Fast forward 13 years and the DJ has per formed at fest ivals l ike ‘Coachel la’ and worked on some real ly impress ive events and played a key role in select ing and producing the music for the Athlete’s Parade at the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.

Now we’ve bagged him for the Summer Bal l . I t ’s going to be mind blowing!

SUBU are now taking bookings for the 2013 Fresher’s fai r which is on the 28th September on the Talbot Campus. The fai r i s a great opportunity for clubs and societ ies to meet 4000 f resher’s and s ign up new members.

P lease send al l c lubs and societ ies enquires to [email protected] or for more information on the fai r please contact Paul Phipps on [email protected]
