"Hi I’m David and I’m honoured to be your VP Democracy and Creative Industries for the coming year!

The Wessex Scene, your campus newspaper has been on a long journey since it’s very first issue back in 1936; back then it even had a completely different name – The Wessex News. You can see an image of the 1 penny publication on the right. The magazine has existed on its current website since […]
