In early March '99 CJ failed to be elected Student Union president (but it was very close!) The next week saw RAG, which raises money for charity. The RAG procession where student's dress up and parade through town on the backs of lorries was marred by tragedy when a student was crushed beneath the wheels of one of them; miracolously he survived.
Here is a photo of the happier side, before the accident.
The theme we chose was 'angels and devils' - CJ was a fat balding old angel. In fact he spent most of the day leading waterpistol assaults on the successful candidate for the President's float (they were Pirates, as the football club traditionally are.) Here are a few friends - Hannah and Sara type cast as little devils...
Finally, there was the RAG Ball, where Hannah and Sara attempted to camouflage themselves to blend into their natural environment; the bar. Cue the obvious jokes about pulling pints.
Here are a few photographs of Phantasmagoria 2, a goth/fetish/halloween party in 1998 which CJ organised and DJ'd at - friends only! There wasn't a lot of fetish but there was a lot of goth and halloween!
Huw the DJ and Lee of upcoming band the Chaos Engine also dj'd - a good night was had by all. Well, most...
Kevin and Julie seem to have enjoyed it!
But as much as Tim, Hazel and Amanda?
Chris D took two hours to find his way home. Talking of Chris D -
I'm not sure who looks worse - from left to right, meet Chris D, Rich, Mark and Ian. Anyway, it was a very merry Halloween!
CJ, August, 1999
