Bolt Recovered

C&GCU finally recovers its wayward mascot after more than a year in the hands of the RCSU.

C&GCU Treasurer Oliver Pell presents a (suspiciously large) cheque for ?150 to RCSU President Stuart Davis.

City & Guilds College Union finally recovered its second normally violate mascot 'Bolt' today, after it has spent more than a year in the hands of the RCSU. A £150 ransom of C&GCU RAG money to the RCSU total was the price finally demanded by the sneaky scientists who acquired both 'Bolt' and its companion 'Spanner' in dubious circumstances.

The aftermath of the RCSU 'acquistion' of Spanner and Bolt saw a stricken C&GCU declare RCSU President Jason McKee a violate C&G mascot - although no attempts were ever made to steal him. Spanner was eventually recovered just over a year ago but Bolt slipped through the net. The aftermath of these events saw Spanner declared inviolate, supposedly only for the duration of the CGCA dinner (though it remains inviolate).

The future of the C&GCU mascotry team is uncertain, though one member has already suggested engraving "Faculty of Engineering" on to the back of Spanner.

I hate it when people caps!!!!! :)

Guilds were never very good at holding on to mascots, let alone actually knowing that Spanner fits Bolt's nuts :) I had great fun looking after your nuts after a bar night when Duncan Tindall was Guilds VP.

So if Spanner gets "Faculty of Engineering" on it, does this mean Theta IV gets "Faculties of Physical & Life Sciences" on it? Hmmm. He makes a very good coat stand but is an absolute bastard when you stub your toe on him. And no he's not with me! (The insurance doesn't cover it!

Rather more elaborate plans are afoot than that. You'll all find out in good time.
