New Guilds President Tristan Sherliker is determined to resurrect the engineering union after its abysmal year last year, with a host of events planned this term and sponsorship rolling in over the summer. His rejuvenated team, full of new blood, is determined to make an impact.
Sherliker received a welcome present to kick off the year from a shady group called "The Trojan Horse". Earlier in the afternoon they launched a daring raid to steal the RSM's Davy lamp, which had been foolishly left in plain sight in the RSM office. Guilds' blazers were also retrieved in the same raid.
Guilds are now in possession of both the shiny brass lamp and its much heavier counterpart, however due to ambiguity over which one is actually violate are treating them as one mascot for the purposes of issuing a ransom. The ransom note delivered to Live! comes in two parts:
- The RSM to donate £200 to RAG by 11th October 2007, one week after the RSM freshers' bar night
- "De La Beche" to be officially renamed "GeoSoc" for the duration of the 2007-2008 academic year, by the same date
- Failure to meet the 11th October deadline will result in monetary part of the ransom rising to £300
The Trojan Horse are believed to have their eye on other mascots, particularly after the RCSU Vice President (Operations), David Charles, proclaimed that mascotry was dead.
Unlike the last successful raid in 2005 there was no damage done to any property within the mines office.
