So our summer schedule is now over. We apologise for any problems you've had navigating the website or listening to our illustrious shows during this time. Please rest assured that the people responsible for these short-comings have been made to sustain mild peril as a consequence.

We can even go one better, and tell you that our new semester schedule begins today (Sept 27) at 10am, with a Freshers' Moving-In Special with Phill Nathan, Matt Clifford and Sarah Horsley, before the indelible Will & Tintin return with their Sunday Night Manifesto at 7pm.

Add to the fact that we will be in the Ikea-Showroom-cum-Wagamama-Restaurant-cum-Industrial-Zone-from-the-Crystal-Maze that is The Living Room (née HRB) on both Saturday (free!) and Sunday (along with Chesney Hawkes), means that whether it's your first night out ever in Guildford, or first night out in what seems like forever in Guildford, GU2 is here for you, every step of the way, like fluffy slippers, just without the washing label digging into your foot.

Posted on Sat 14th Mar 2009 at 9:04am

Well, that's it. He's only gone and bloomin' done it.

Andy Vale: 36 hours non-stop on GU2

Congratulations to our ten highest donators (in alphabetical order): Dad, Danielle Uttley, Dave Hobson, Granny-O, Jacqui, Karen Rosati, Matthew Hine, Mr Anony Mous, Piers and Trevor & Barbara, who all win a signed copy of a Rowena Cherry novel. And further jubilations to Karen Rosati who wins the Smirnoff Ice Snowboard, courtesy of the University of Surrey Students' Union.

Whilst Andy has taken the checkered flag, and is folding it into a sleeping bag as this is being typed, you can still make a difference. Go to www.justgiving.com/andyvale, and give what you can.

Andy's day-and-a-half has raised £1,909.80 as of 9am. He would thank all you very much himself on here, but he's already in pyjamas and nightcap, cuddled up next to his Cubbly Bear, sucking his thumb and dreaming of his next escapade.

This has been ValeWatch, we're off to bed as well now...
