The RAG countdown starts today! With less than a week to go until the most fantastic week of the IC calendar you need to start thinking about what you can do to have fun and raise cash. As an added incentive, raise some money for us, and we'll throw a free, sexy RAG T-Shirt into the bargain.

The International Pub Crawl kicks off on Saturday 16th, with an opportunity to tour the world in only 80 units, while collecting money for our designated charity, the Shooting Star Trust . Turn up with a team of 4 people in the Union at 12pm, and we'll give you a map, a bucket and some instructions. Then you're off collecting all over London.

You people never do much on Wednesday anyway, so why not cancel your non-existent plans and RAID LONDON!!! This is a good opportunity to hassle tourists, businesspeople and anyone else you meet. They've been deliberately walking slowly in front of you while you're shopping for years; now is your chance to get your own back! Tiddlywink along Oxford St., or just collect money on the way, It's your choice. Meet in the JCR at 12pm, to pick up your challenges, and finish at the Union for pure unadulterated cheese!

Years ago your mum bought you that school uniform and she promised that you would grow into it... What's that you say? It still fits? Great! Why not put it on, watch the Balloon lift on the Queen's Lawn at Lunchtime, then get out to the City & Canary Wharf for the "Milkround Raid" - maps, tims and sweeties from the Ante Room (Sherfield Building) - don't forget to bring your CV. The day climaxes with a back to school party in the Union from 8pm.
