RAG: Officer Report
We’ve had a great first few weeks as RAG Officers and are looking forward to everything we’ve got coming up over the term!
Our first task was to ensure that the vacant positions on the RAG Committee were filled. Thankfully, we had a stunning response from everyone and even had some positions contested four ways. The committee is now full but there’s always room for people who want to get involved! Our meetings are open to all and take place weekly at 6.30 in Langwith upper JCR (above the Courtyard). Come along!
We’ve been working closely with the college RAG Reps to try and develop stronger college RAGs. There has been a wealth of ideas thrown around and there’s loads going on this term, so check out your college RAG Facebook group (search YUSU RAG for the links), or email them at rag(college)@yusu.org, e.g. raggoodricke@yusu.org.
We’ve also been attempting to get to grips with the basics, such as the logistics of sharing an email account between two people, the epic task of sorting out the RAG/Student Action cupboard, which provided us with hours of laughs, and helping everyone on the committee hit the ground running!
RAG is all about getting involved and having a great time, so why not pop along to some of the events we’ve got going on this term:
Hit Squad
Fancy having a go at collecting? Then come along to the first Hit-Squad of the year, the 118 themed competition to see which three-legged 118 pair can collect the most in their bucket whilst touring campus! See facebook for all the juicy details! Fri wk 4.
York’s Got Talent
Epic talent contest. College heats taking place wks 6-8 (email your college reps for more info), final at Woodstock, Sat wk 9.
Woodstock
One of RAG’s largest events, Woodstock is York’s answer to Glastonbury, but better! With twelve hours of live music taking-over campus, and an ultra-cool after party at the Courtyard, Woodstock is not to be missed. Want to get involved? Contact Chris & Mike at ragwoodstock@yusu.org. Sat wk 9.
Amsterdam Hitch
Exams are over so how about something a little different? All you need to do is make your way from York-Dover without payment and you’ve got a great weekend in one of Europe’s most liberal cities! The more your raise in sponsorship the less you pay ’ total only £99. Fri-Sun wk 7. Sign-up wk 4! Charli & Jim are the people to chat to ’ get in touch at raghitch@yusu.org.
Blackpool Raid
If you haven’t quite got the energy for a hitch, then Blackpool is the answer to all your woes! A chilled-day out at the seaside with a spot of collecting. Cost will be limited to a small amount to cover transport, and it is set to be a fab day. Email ragraid@yusu.org for more info. Sat wk 7.

Love from your ever faithful RAG Officers!
