Further details

Oregon's glittering future looks seriously under threat when disgruntled societies, who have had their funding cut to pay for her eponymous poetry competition, pass a motion to have her thrown out of office. Things aren't going well for Josie either, determined not to be friendless next year she joins the badminton society who are amongst those plotting Oregon's downfall.

Howard is working on his CV in the hope of getting a job with Ordnance Survey - but is a professed 'love of street magic' really going to make him stand out from the mapping crowd? Meanwhile JP's brother takes a drastic measure in his attempts to force him to toe the line; Kingsley and Vod take control of the graduation ball, but it seems a disastrous haircut and a misjudged musical number could be the final nail in the coffin of Oregon's reign.
