RAG Blind Date: Do you have the best story of 2011?

Sign up for this year’s RAG Blind Date! Entry forms must be in by Friday 3rd February. To mark our Valentine’s issue, Varsity are looking for the funniest, unluckiest or most romantic draws from last year.

Lord Kitchener is put to ill use again. At least it's in the name of charity.

Did your Rag Date turn up with a boquet of two dozen roses and whisk you away to Browns or were you one of the fateful few that shared medium fries in MacDonalds before being turned away for the crime of 'heavy petting'? Did you have to talk your painfully shy date out of a panic attack? Did your comedy form turn out to be true to life or did his carefully crude illustrations win over your heart?

RAG Blind Date is officially recognised as having generated some brilliant anecdotes and Varsity would like to hear a few. Next week our paper comes out on the morning of RAG Blind Date 2012 and we'll be printing some success stories (as well as some horror stories) to get you in the mood. Watch out for our issue on the 10th of February to hear some corkers.

But for use to print your stories, we need to hear them first. Or, perhaps more importantly, we need your friends to show some lack of discretion and send them to us.

At the start of every year, RAG chooses 10 local and international charities to support; this year they include Alzeimers Research UK, British Red Cross and Jimmy's Night Shelter in Cambridge. Forms cost £5 are are available for in pink for girls, blue for boys and green for LGBT. Go to http://www.cambridgerag.org.uk/events/blind-date/ to find out more. Deadlines for applications is the evening of Friday 3rd.

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
