Cambridge City Council released their annual guide to running May Balls this week, provoking concerns that running such events may be subject to further restrictions in the future. The guide reasserts much of last year’s stipulation for running May Week effectively, including sections on noise pollution, drug restriction and hypnotists. Despite complaints after last year’s Jesus May Ball, however, it is not thought that the restrictions will mean enormous changes for planning events.

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!
