June 7th till 12th
So here we are, its June, Im still a busy boy. Been into uni now for about 5 or 6 days attending various meetings and stuff. From freshers week planning, to visits to Bham checking out the International Food Festival.
So the meetings started on the Monday and this began at 1030 with, a meeting to discuss ideas for the International Students Party that will take place on Friday 10th September. Thoughts on venue, theme, and activities were discussed. In attendance was Jayne Yuruker, Jane Dunn, Joanna Zielinska. Was a very productive meeting and we have come up with some amazing ideas for this event. More to be discussed at a later date, but all looks positive.
This meeting was followed by an Exec meeting over in the SU. Very breif and was really just an update on the progress of the SU redevelopment.
TUESDAY- VALE FESTIVAL
Today I attended the Vale Festival at Birmingham Uni.
I was taking part with the Capoeira Society and also looking to get some ideas for freshers. Whilst there I met with Ed Sparkes- VP Housing and Community. He informed me that he is currently planning their freshers. We will meet again in the next few weeks and discuss some ideas etc.
THURSDAY- INT FOOD FEST.
Spent most the morning looking up contacts and discussing options for freshers. Had meeting with Luke, Jayne and Ivor. Spoke to some agents about posible bookings (we wont be bbooking Olli Muirs or Twist and Pulse) then played around with some figures. The rest of the morning was a 2 hour meeting with Ivor and Jayne, where we looked deeper at the freshers schedule and tried to figure out fair pricing and event orders. We are agreed apart from the band night and wed nights entertainment. Meeting rearranged for next week for final decisions and then booking. You lucky students, we have so much planned for you guys.
So the afternoon ended with a train journey into Brum to see what the Int Food Fest has to offer. Mainly just an ideas visit to see what is on offer, sample some food, and see about potential people to have for our World Food Day. Attended this with Jayne Yuruker and Jane Dunn.
SATURDAY- OPEN DAY
Ahhhh, another day, another me working hard for students. So its open day and Im here at 9:10 am. Coffee first (of course) then its trying to find out where we are. Turns out we are in a tent in the quad area. Julia (ASC) is here and we attempt to setup outside. The wind is doing us bother and blowing down our plans and stands. So eventually we make an exec decision to move inside and set up in our building. It doesnt please Danielle from Uni Marketing, but eventually she sees the positive side of it and that we have the publics interests in mind. I enjoy talking to lots of potential new students, explaining the plans for the new build, services and my life as a student. Thanks to Bally, Matt, Arun, Julia, Matt Knight and Ivor who were all in attendance. Im now getting more and more excited about finally getting started. Even made a contact for a comedy magician who wants to take part during freshers week. Class!!!
