The Circus Comes To Town!

h

I embarked on my thirteenth Carnage on Wednesday 18th June!

Carnage, organised three times a year by our RAG Society Carnival, is a particular highlight to many students' time at University and brings students together for a night of fancy dress and excitement.

Carnage also remains the only bar crawl that welcomes all students, whereas the rest are usually confined to a Course or a Hall or a Society.

And most importantly, each Carnage raises between £8k-£10k for local Birmingham charities!

As an ex-Carnival Committee member (I was an Ent for a year and then Vice-President for a year) I chose the fancy dress theme for two years running. Nevertheless, I was mightily impressed by this year's theme: Carnival! Not only did it offer a wealth of opportunity but it was the name of the society itself!

Naturally, every interpretted it as a Circus theme and there was no shortage of clowns and mime artists on Broad Street! Myself and Will Bastin (VP Sport) are pictured above!
