Firsty, a big thankyou to everyone who was involved in PROSH this year. Whether that be helping with the float, the skit, the stunt or just selling your PROSH papers in Commando style. We had a great turn out and everyone looked the part dressed up in camo gear. The UEC was well represented by dedicated members arriving at 4am or before to get into the spirit of raising money for some worthy charities.

Special mentions go to Huw Macy and Max Daube for your efforts in organising the skit and stunt. A big thankyou to Jessie and Matt for all the time and effort put into designing and building the float. It looked fantastic! And thankyou also to everyone who helped them out in the weeks leading up to PROSH and the manic night before.
