This year’s RAG Week has been a record making one.

The Student Association put on 4 events each day during the week to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support. Starting off the week, students took part in a 24hr London to Paris cycling and rowing challenge, hosted in the bar. Due to the amount of effort the students and staff put into this challenge we ended up doing 560 miles (that’s from London to Paris and back again...), which was amazing!

Other popular events during the week included the raft race, tractor pull and the masquerade themed RAG Ball.

The ball was a particularly successful, as all attendees made a huge effort in dressing up for the theme.

All in all RAG Week 2015 has been the most successful yet, raising a record amount of £1,800 beating all previous years by miles. Thanks to everyone who got involved during the week and helped us raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

We’ve raised over £17,000 up to now, so please in the last few weeks of term come and support us by getting involved with all the events we are planning and help us with the final push to raise out target of £20,000!

Upcoming events: Open Farm Sunday: 7th June The Wilmslow Can Shake: 13th June 1000 Engine Rally: 20th and 21st June

Reaseheath Societies Reaseheath Conservation Society

The Conservation Society has been very busy this year working on a host of projects and lots of fundraising activities including raising £202.52 for Chester Zoo’s ‘Go Orange for Orangutans’ campaign and £402.63 for Yorkshire Wildlife Park’s ‘Pole to Pole’ campaign.

Recently we hosted a talk from Lou and Phil from the newly formed conservation group Fin Fighters. They gave a fantastic presentation to the society on global threats facing shark species today and what we can do to help change these issues.

Society members have also been working hard to improve our Conservation Garden. So far, two wild flower beds have been planted and a compost heap has been built, along with many other improvements made. The plan is to continue to develop the garden by creating even more flower beds, taking better control the stinging

Conservation Garden nettle problem along with introducing bug hotels and bird feeders.

Top of the league for Reaseheath sports teams!

This year our men’s recreational football team and men’s rugby team were triumphant in the Northern Counties league winning both titles.

The league is made up of three other land-based colleges and was highly competitive.

The teams have played well all year with some fantastic team spirit and have been a credit to our college.

Well done all!
