A flood caused by a heating system “failure” forced the university IT services to shut down many essential systems on Sunday night, causing problems for many students on the eve of their exams and assignment due-dates.
This term, Tru will be providing themed nights on a weekly basis and three different music rooms. Room 1 features chart, pop, party and student anthems with DJ Martyn Hand, Room 2 will be rocking with indie and alternative from DJ Andy Martini and Room 3 brings you R&B with DJ Scott Atkinson.
There are also plenty of new drinks offers for students, improving on the deals the club offered last year. Bottles of VK Apple, VK Orange, Stella Artois and Becks are all £1.50, as are single shots of Archers, Bacardi, Malibu and Vodka with a mixer.
Themes for the next ten weeks are as follows...
Tuesday 13th October will be the Opening Party, getting you in the groove for the start of the academic year. Tuesday 20th October will feature a Foam Party for those who want to get wet and wild. On 27th October, Tru will once again be involved in the Viking Raid, with the following week taking students down memory lane through a Skool Disco on 3rd November.
Find your hidden talent or laugh at your lack thereof at Karaoke Chaos on 10th November, and on the 17th it's time to engage in some friendly competition with the University College Challenge. There's more to come with Dance Idol on 24th November, and a UV Glow Stick Party for those of you who like to stand out without wearing your dancing shoes on 1st December.
Heading towards Christmas, bring your best combat gear to the Action Man and GI Jane Army Fancy Dress on 8th December, and finally, kick off the holiday season with the final event of the term: the Christmas Party on 15th December.

Surely there has to be a disclaimer at the top saying that this is a promotional article (/blatent advertisement) and those interested in real journalism should look elsewhere (because this is marketing BS).
A dissappointed Yorker reader/contributor
Agreed. What about Ziggys? Or Gallery? Do they get a plug too?
@#2 Yes, hopefully! I have been in touch with both Ziggy's (or is it The Hub now?) and The Gallery regarding similar articles for their student nights. If I hear back from them, I will absolutely run a feature previewing their student nights.
@#1 Apologies, I put this article in the wrong section - it was intended to be a news feature, not a news story, which is why it is less neutral than many of the articles in our news section. I will correct this error immediately.
If either of you have anything you feel deserves "plugging" or reporting on, you are always welcome to send me an email at news@theyorker.co.uk. Or if emails aren't your thing, you can call me on 07810604341.
