Aber BNOC of the year: Group Two

You’ve seen and voted on our first grouping of BNOC candidates, now it’s time to vote on the next lot.

Who will win the second BNOC crown of Aberystwyth? You decide – voting is now open. Round three will follow soon.

Emily Power

From leading the Aberystwyth Feminist Society to new heights, to personally tackling trolls on Yik Yak, Emily Power is one of Aberystwyth’s activist elite.

But those in the know say that’s not even the best thing about her – Emily Power is part of the party animal elite also. Nobody can really be a BNOC candidate without knowing Emily, and the group she’s out with.

Juggling changing the world with spending your change on Vodka Tuesday’s is no small task, doesn’t that deserve your vote?

Henry Loarridge 

King of equestrian society nights out, 2nd year Business and Accounting student Henry Loarridge is known for always being surrounded by girls, and knowing everyone wherever he goes. Along with wild AUE nights and “utter madness” with OTC.

Despite this, Henry is known as one of the most down to earth students out there, who’s always happy to help someone out.

A long time squad member bares all to the Tab – “He’s boisterous, likes to have a drink and throw some shapes, he may like a little nuts but all in all he is like a Creme Egg a hard shell but gooey and soft on the inside”.

Samuel Poynder

Few people would ever even consider wearing tweed on a night out, let alone actually pull it off, but that’s where BNOC candidate Samuel Poynder breaks the mould. Frequently called “the poshest man in Aber”, the wild Poynder can frequently found smoking a Sobrani Black outside of Yoko’s or in Harley’s smoking area, or cooking up a good bit of pheasant for a dinner party.

As social sec for the International Politics society, Sam has done what many would think impossible – held together socials made up of all political inclinations, from the Socialist Society to UKIPsoc. In his time at Aberystwyth, Poynder has been a member on not one, not two committees, having done a stint as treasurer of AUE as well.

When Poynder first got to Aber nearly three years ago, he made his mark by needing to be dragged across a field to his flat. By all accounts, not much has changed, and “the poshest man in Aber” remains one of the messiest also. Work hard, play harder right?

Jack Reed

We were simply told: “Everyone knows the story about the condom and the dog. There’s literally nothing more to say. Everyone knows Jack.”
