It's rodeo week in Armidale, and there's plenty happening on campus too, including the Bistro's very first karaoke night! Here's everything happening for Townies this week:

🎭 SFK MASS PARTICIPATION (Mon 6pm): The final round of the SFK for 2026 is the biggest and the best! Join us at Lazenby Hall for Mass Participation, as each of our college teams gets as many students involved as possible for a night of fun, theatre, music, dancing and so much more. With an open bar and light refreshments available, it's sure to be a fun night!

🎵 VINYL VIBES (Tue 4pm): Relax, study and catch up with friends while the records spin! Join us at the Bistro while listening to vinyls from TuneFM's own collection. Got vinyls of your own? Bring them along! There's nothing quite like the authentic sound of a vinyl record.

🎤 KARAOKE NIGHT (Wed 4pm): DJ Fox presents Karaoke Nights at the Bistro! Bring along your best singing voice and your enthusiasm, and join the good vibes at the Bistro on the first Wednesday of every month. As well as great music, the bar will remain open, and board games and Nintendo Switch games are available for loan. It's a great way to unwind from your studies!

🐢 UNE ZOOLOGY SOCIETY TURTLE TRAPPING TUTORIAL (Thu 1pm): Join current UNE PhD Student Jacquie Bennett in the freshwater turtle lab for an overview of her research investigating the effects of cold water pollution, including a hands-on demonstration of turtle traps and the identifying and measuring of collected turtles.
