And now for something completely different: DBS Freshers Week

No, not this. This; A word or 27 from our Student Services supremo:

Freshers week will be running next week starting Tuesday 6th Oct – Thursday 8th Oct. Freshers week is a great way for new and continuing students to get involved in sports & societies, and these events are designed to maximise student participation and help students to really enjoy their time at DBS. I can’t stress enough how important extracurricular activity is to students, so any support you can offer in helping to spread the word, and encourage students to get involved, would be greatly appreciated on my part. One of the most important events is the Sports & Societies sign-up day. Details of Freshers week are listed below for your information:
