COMMENT: Annoyance at non-existent quiz for clubs and societies
The latest Students’ Union clubs and societies’ quiz scheduled for earlier this month was cancelled at the last minute to an apparent “lack of student interest”. This cancellation means that the funded quiz has yet to be held this year despite being a weekly fixture in previous years. After already having been delayed this year the quiz had been postponed until the 24th November but on that morning an e-mail was circulated stating its cancellation, with no plans for further rescheduling. Historically the quiz had been a weekly event held in one of the SU bars with substantial financial prizes but now there are serious doubts as to whether it will be undertaken by the Union at all in the next semester.
