June 14th-18th 2010

Another week of meetings and Freshers Plannings.

The Week started off on Monday with continued research into freshers events. Nothing major to report, just checking out some contacts, such as possible acts to book etc. Onto Wednesday....

I'm in from 9am for a meeting with Jayne & Ivor, freshers planning and deciding on the content., followed by a 10am meeting with Luke. This was a great meeting and we are now confirmed as to what we will be doing on all the days for the evenings events, acts are decided on and the bookings will now take place. The only thing left to do now is finalise the details such as timings of each activity, how to organise tickets for these events and dotting the I's. The remainder of the morning was spent bouncing ideas around with Ivor as to the finer details of the Talent Show night and choice of club venue and what prizes we will be giving out. Final part of the afternoon was spent summarising over my reports and speaking with Caroline Burke to make arrangements for our presence at the International Student Welcome Week, most importantly working out what information we will be giving out during our presentation on Sept 10th.

The end of a full day, its now 4pm and its time I went home.

Now its Friday and Im in once again. Its more planning meetings, today its a 1030 meeting with Jane from the International Office, Jayne and Joanna. We are discussing freshers and Internat Party on the Friday. One of the themes we are working on, is identifying that some Internat/EU students arrive to UK and are often stumped by some of our slang. This will make for a perfect presentation/game and also a chance to work on an idea for a theme that I have "Best OF British", basically a celebration of all thing British, a themed day on the Friday. Just some finer details to work out, such as the availability of BestMates during freshers week.

Another week over with. I have scheduled a busy week of meeting for next week. so I have a stack of meeting notes to read over the weekend.
