On the 15th December 1976 Clive Lewis and James Sinclair were both presenting the Christmas edition of Lunchbreak. Who could want a better news story for Christmas than a mascotry raid. There was a front page splash about it in FELIX the following day, so STOIC seemed to have got the news, and also the interviews, pretty fast. Now, this was shot a few days before Christmas and I think the various constituent college union members should have been kept away from the balloons&#8230;as you&#8217;ll see! James Sinclair is attempting to hold things together though.<\/p>\r\n<p>This is very much a deteriorating archive recording so please bear with it because it&#8217;s 47 years old and I had a major problem getting the tape to play back.<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RCSU Spanner &amp; Bolt Mascot Raid: 1976\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cpRHMb97H5g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Colin Grimshaw December 2023<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In December 1976 there was a very daring mascot raid by RCS on City and Guilds &#8216;Spanner and Bolt&#8217;.
