Editor’s Note Hey Menzies, Welcome back. Hopefully you all had a fun, refreshing, and/or exhilarating holiday. A special welcome to all of our new residents who are probably wondering what this little booklet is. The Voice is RMC’s student run publication that covers the events that make up the RMC calendar. It is also a place to share funny, and all-around entertaining content. The Voice is published intermittently throughout the academic year, with issues released every 2-3 weeks (hopefully). This issue will contain photos mostly from 2.0 week events hosted by both the RAs and Exec members. We will still be adding in some Voice staples, such as the Wiretap, but stay tuned for more articles and other content in future issues. @TheVoiceofRMC is our Facebook page and will be our main point of contact. If you have any submissions, questions, or suggestions this is where to send them. It will also be where we post announcements, such as when new issues will be available. The Encore is now live on Issuu! Issuu is the online site that we use to publish Voice issues in digital formats. There are links on our Facebook (which you can find through the QR code on the back) and it’s a great place to find all copies of The Voice, including those from previous years.

Love Week Info Like Arts Week, Love Week is a week of events organised by the Community RAs and the Exec team and is for everyone to come and spend time together and maybe get to know some new people. While they will be several events throughout the week, the main event of Love Week is the chance to win a free ball ticket.

Fire Drill Normally we wouldn’t put in a page just for the fire drill, but after everyone stood, crowded under the cover of E block, we just knew. AKA, the photos were fun, so here they are.

Board Games The RAs organised a fun and chill morning of board and card games in the common room. Both freshers and returners turned up to play games together, and we were forced to ask the question - Can you know too much about Lord of the Rings?

Fun and Games We’ve put together a quick little bingo card of all the things for you to do or try at college and beyond. The only prize is the promise of adventure, but don’t worry, we’re sure you’ll complete most of them without even knowing it!
