First Courtyard club night, CO2, cut short by York fire service
Students were left disappointed on Saturday evening after one of the Courtyard’s flagship events, CO2, was cut short by a fire alarm set off just before 0100 hours.
The event, which students had been charged £5 to enter, was not scheduled to end until 2am. After a second fire alarm was set off in nearby accommodation the fire safety officer present requested that the event remain closed. YUSU are still unsure as to why the two alarms were linked.
Despite attempts by students to crash nearby event Chav D, most were turned away by the door staff. Those few who managed to gain entrance were soon removed and the event was able to continue as normal.
YUSU spokesman Rory Shanks said “We’re really sorry to those that were present at the event, but unfortunately this matter was entirely out of our hands. We made an attempt to gather names of those at the event in order to guest-list them for the next CO2 which we look forward to next week.”

I think there must be some kind of mistake, this article reads like it was supposed to be in vision. Crappy Syntax, Loaded words, ‘Chaos’ ‘Merrymakers’ ‘Fiasco’ ‘Hostile’. Try Again Nouse….
This article has been necessarily corrected following information given by Rory Shanks, YUSU Societies and Communications Officer
Anonymous Massive! can confirm that Rory Shanks, and other YUSU officers, appeared at Chav D after the aforementioned failure of CO2. Did they queue in line like everyone else?
To be fair YUSU boys and girls, if you hold a more expensive event on the same nights on a massive event like Chav D, and do practically no advertising, it was never going to be a roaring sucess was it?
Maybe Anonymous Massive! should run for YUSU Pres…
Anonymous Massive! sincerely apologises for the poor grammar of the above comment, and for any inconvenience it may have caused.
I thought that the event itself sounded like a success. I don’t think that YUSU can be blamed with fire alarms going off, really… unless the high levels of CO2 sete them off >.>
does the courtyard have a website so we can find out what events are on?
The events are all listed at http://www.yusu.org under “events”
