Queen Margaret Union
The bazaar was held over four days and featured a number of stalls selling many different items from clothes to pieces of furniture.
During this period, the QM Union mostly provided space for its members to study, discuss, debate and eat.
Other facilities included a library, dining room, study space, and cubicles so that members who lived at home outwith the city centre could stay over after public transport had ended.
[citation needed] A fire in 1982 shut the building for several months and sparked nearly a decade of financial problems for the Union.
[citation needed] The early 1990s saw the QMU stage Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, Garbage and Belle & Sebastian.
And in 2016, Troye Sivan performed at the venue marking his first visit to Scotland on his blue neighbourhood tour.
[citation needed] The late 1990s until the early 2000s saw the QMU redevelop many of its social and commercial areas, including all of its bars.
Other recent notable events at the QMU have included supporting Charles Kennedy in his successful campaign to become Rector.

[citation needed] There are two Unions at the University of Glasgow with some students choosing to join both of them during, and after, Freshers' week.
The 'CSR Committee' is composed of twelve elected students, at least three of whom are in their first year of study, who are largely free to involve themselves with whatever aspects of the union they see fit.
Social: The Social Committee are concerned with the planning and execution of the (almost-daily) events that take place every day in Bar - one of the Union's three bars - from pub quizzes and acoustic nights to comedy and new theatre drawn from the students of the University of Glasgow.
Fundraising for local, national and international charities and campaigning for wider causes has been an integral part of the Queen Margaret Union for many years.
