Have you any idea what weight of Chips the Main Refectory serves in a week? You have? Good, because now is your chance to see if you are right, as well as win yourself a free lunch every day for a week.

All this week the Main Refectory and Buffet Bar will be running a Competition in aid of Comic Relief to see just who knows the answer.

Visit the Main Refectory or Buffet Bar any day this week and put your answers on the sheet provided at the tills (no purchase necessary) along with your name. It is 50p per entry and you have the chance to win a Meal Voucher for your Lunch every day for a week in any of the Universities Catering outlets.

AND . . . On Red Nose day itself, Friday the 16th, The 'Catering Clown' will be outside the Refectory with his Bucket again asking everyone for a voluntary entrance fee of 10p per person into the Main Refectory.

Please help by being generous.
