The last two weeks have been a busy few, but then when is it not? That's my job to keep busy!



Well whilst the boys were gallavanting of up North to Sheffield and Leeds for Active Political Leadership training I was getting all the freshers' 'stuff' sorted out.



You can now access the full events guide for Freshers' Fortnight on the website at http://subu.org.uk/files/minisites/4705/Freshers_Arrivals_09proofspreads5.pdf



If you are struggling for what to bring to Uni, or want to get to know more about what you can get out of SUBU, or what to expect in the area you will be living in check out http://subu.org.uk/files/minisites/4705/freshers_guide09final.pdf



Now, all thanks to the hard work of Mr. Alan Dove you can apply for one of the amazing jobs in either Dylan's Bar, The Shop, or The Old Fire Station. Any year can apply. I first got a job working in Dylan's in my 4th year and I think it's the best job I've had so far...actually, maybe the second, it's hard to beat being in the sun all day at work as a lifeguard at an outdoor pool!

Anyway, this isn't a place for advertising etc etc, this is my blog so...



Last week I went on training too, though the boys left me on my own for this one. It was called 'Developing Your Member' - yes, there were a lot of jokes going round about the name of this one. What is was really about though was ways of communicating to our members (you). The fibchester was the most exciting. We were put into a real life (but fake) Student Union situation; conincidentally it was a Uni called Fibchester! Anyway I met a lot of great Sabbs from other Unions when I was there in London and got some great ideas for the year ahead, so am very excited to get cracking on them.


I don't have much left to say on this one as most of my time has been taken up with training. We have just been doing bits and bobs, tying up loose ends and finishing off the all important bits and pieces as it's been so quiet in the office (what with James and Scott not being here!). The first 'Word' is now finished and ready for issue thanks to the work of Jacqui and Emily. It's a freshers' special jam packed with events and information about the freshers' fair and other exciting stuff for freshers' to get their teeth into. I'm excited and I'm not even a fresher!

That's all for now, I will be back with another soon!
