Students who have previously had accessibility issues, and are then unable to attend their lectures, have previously had to raise their accessibility issues with Student Services. Once the issue was raised, students then had to hope that the staff at Student Services would have time to fill the form out in time for the issue to be fixed before the next time they needed to get to a lecture in the same place.

SU Community Officer Sally Williamson has been working on implementing this system since the start of her term in office, regularly raising the issues of this during university meetings covering disability requirements.

In the initial phase of negotiations, the Department of Estates were worried about students abusing this flagging system and sending in an influx of complaints, and thus causing genuine complaints to be filtered out. They proposed that only students who were registered as disabled would have access to the service, but this idea was vetoed due to students not being obligated to disclose any disability they may have. This idea would also restrict people dealing with any temporary incapacitation, such as a broken leg. It was agreed that the flagging system would be available to all students, but strictly for accessibility issues.

Sally Williamson told bathimpact that: “It’s something that was raised in the student submission to the institutional review and it has been one of the SU’s Top Ten issues this year, so we are delighted to have made such solid progress in improving access to campus for all students with access issues.”

10. If you have a ridiculously well-stocked fridge with ginger or coconut water then grab these bad boys and have them. If you’re HARDCORE, then eat that ginger whole. If you’re less cool and a bit of a sissy, then just grate a bit into your cup o’ tea and it’ll relieve your nausea. Coconut water on the other hand will basically do the same thing as water and help hydrate your now sucked-to-the-bone-dry brain - but! It has loads of electrolytes in it, which, are, well, good for you and stuff.

9. Is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S?! Make sure to eat at least 20 bananas the day after a big night out. This way you’ll stock up on the potassium and magnesium which can help reduce nausea, weakness and tiredness and can leave you feeling completely rejuvenated! 

8. If you are feeling really motivated and are not dying in bed from the pain of a hangover or are a complete freak then go for a run. Even though the ‘sweat it out’ theory is a myth, doing exercise can release endorphins and make you feel better, just make sure you have water so you don’t dehydrate yourself further.

7. Simply don’t get out of bed. Sleep more. Sleep forever. Just think of a hangover as a big bully, ignore it, and it’ll eventually get bored and leave you alone.  Trust me on this one, it’s basically scientific fact and not something I just thought of. But seriously, just sleep it out.

6. Do you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain? Good. Then, if you have had too many of those delicious piña coladas the night before, help cure that horrendous hangover by getting caught in the rain, which in the UK is quite easy to do. Or, simply take a shower. It’ll make you feel fresh and less queasy and will hopefully let you wash off any guilt from the shenanigans you got up to the night before.

5. If you’re a complete baby and can’t deal with your hang over and won’t stop whining then just take some pain killers. No one wants to hear your incessant bitching, you’re just annoying everyone. Just don’t take Tylenol because that can cause liver damage, although, you might have already caused that with your binge drinking.

4. Avoid ‘The Hair of the Dog’, this weird Norwegian saying basically involves drinking more alcohol the morning after, but although it might help numb out the pain of the hangover, in the long run you’ll be dealing with twice as much hangover-ness. Note: don’t eat dog hair. I imagine that won’t help with a hangover.

3. Do you like your eggs sunny-side up? Scrambled? Boiled? Poached? Either way, anyway you want it – that’s the way you need it. Eggs are almost the best cure for a hangover; eggs in their infinite-amazingness contain Cysteine which helps break down acetaldehyde, the yucky headache-causing chemical that’s left over when the liver breaks down ethanol. So eat up!

2. Let’s talk about sex, baby. Let’s talk about you and me. Just do it. Although, it has been proven that sex can’t actually get rid of a hangover, it’s a good way to pass the time and it makes you happy so, it must help in some way. Just careful with your motions, too much movement might just make you feel sicker. 

Hidden away from the common boozers of the city, a group of refined and stylish students drank the night away mastering the art of making the perfect cocktail. Already known for their array of tasty flavoured vodkas and delicious cocktails, Revolutions Bath’s expert mixologists imparted their cocktail mixing wisdom to those students who enjoy the finer things in life.

Who wants to be spotted downing £1 shots at Spoons when one can be spied basking in the ambiance of cocktail luxury?

After being greeted in the private upstairs bar with a strawberry daiquiri welcome drink, the Revolutions team stepped behind the counter teaching participants, to great acclaim, on how to mix like professionals in a unique 90 minute master class.

Recreating 5 drinks in total, ranging from the Classic Mojito to the Porn Star Martini, inhibitions were left at the door as guests were transported to the magical era of 1920s America.

Daisy would have been proud as the fashion on show would rival that of one of Gatsby’s infamous parties. Bite’s fashion reporters spotted Mulberry handbags, Alexander McQueen rings and art deco necklaces all channelling the ritzy theme of the evening demonstrating to society that fashion and alcohol can make an unlikely pair.
