SSB Banned

The SSB has been cancelled after the Guild decided “an exact replica of the event in the future isn’t an option”.


The SSB has been cancelled after the Guild decided “an exact replica of the event in the future isn’t an option”.

A spokesman for the Guild told Exeposé:  “In spite of significant efforts in recent years, the event’s association with promoting safer sex has been overshadowed with a less positive image, leading to unintended consequences for students who attend the event, as well as RAG, the Guild and the University.

“Therefore the Guild and RAG are working together to formulate a way to reinvent the SSB, maintaining its strong assets; raising charitable funds and awareness of key issues whilst providing great student development opportunities and a great night out for students.”

But RAG said they would fight the ban: “We hope that the Students’ Guild will recognise the popularity of the Safer Sex Ball with the students and its inherent charitable mission.”

“However, if this will not be the case then we will seek alternate means of funding and running the event.”
