I honestly can’t think of a better way to start any day than sitting next to a semi-inebriated Luke Camden, zealously gulping down his second MacDo diet coke of the morning.

The fact that I can remember our Freshers’ Pub Crawl, held on Friday 31st October 2014, obviously shows you that I didn’t quite do the event correctly. On the Thursday night there had been a serious incident at my college where alcohol had been a factor, and the Principal assembled us for a meeting on

The London 12 bell competition this year was held at St Mary le Bow, providing a significant challenge to all the bands on these less-than-easy bells.
