Students waiting for buses and lifts after the bad weather forced the College to cancel classes this morning, made the best of a bad situation by hitting the slopes around the Monks Lane campus on sledges.

Public Services student Cassie Hampton, a native of South Africa, said "I've never been sledging before. It's great fun but it certainly gives you a cold bum!"

Unfortunately the College has also had to postpone this Saturday's classes but will contact student later next week to rearrange the dates.
