The Cardiff university societies Act one and LMS (Live Music Society) put on a charity event on Monday to try and raise £600 for Cancer Research. The winners of this years battle of the bands, Zenyth played an acoustic set and who will also be playing at the Cardiff Summer Ball.

It was the first time the guys had played acoustically live apparently, but they seemed to do a good job. I will be looking forward to seeing them play in Coopers field in the summer.

I also have a photo shoot coming up to promote the ball, more details soon, it should be fun! I will also be taking photos at the IMG awards ball tonight (Wednesday 30th April).

A few weeks ago, for two weekends in a row I took photos of Fun Runs. The course was exactly the same, but for different causes. Saturday’s run was for the Cardiff SVC (Student Volenteering Centre). Above is the winner of the race.

It was the first year it has run, and there was a great turn out, many opting for fancy dress! Always good to see people really putting the effort in to getting dressed up! The Welsh judges hearts were stolen by this outfit, and this was the winner of the fancy dress competition.

Saturday 16th February saw the Cardiff Athletic Union’s fund raising fun-run. Despite the nippy Spring weather around 250 fresh faced students turned up to run the 3.5 miles around Bute Park in Cardiff.

Capturing everyone as a group was quite a challenge, but with the help of a human step ladder (Cheers Scott!) it was was done! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, high-lights from the run are below, there is also a more comprehensive gallery too. Money was also being raised for Sport Relief.
