'Tis the Season to be Jolly

It's that time of year again! Everyone is getting overly excited and already planning those new year's diets!

With only 2 weeks left of term, I find myself asking one question...where did the last 10 weeks go?!?! It seems like only yesterday we were holding the 'Halls Welcome Party' at TOFS.

Coming up before the end of term...

Tonight is Malibu Sound Clash at TOFS, with dance offs and DJ sound clashes. Saturday is We Are Your Friends White Winter Rave (the clue's in the title!) and next Friday sees the marathon last of term celebrations with Dylan's Xmas Party all day and the mammoth event that is BEDLAM at TOFS all night long (starting at 6pm!!) No advanced tickets, so get there early to avoid disappointment!

Right, sales pitch over...

Thanks to all of you who sent Adelaide feedback for the Student Experience Committee. We (and more importantly the University) really appreciate your input...so thanks! I'll keep you all up to date with the progress of all issues raised.

Look out for the Donuts for Darfur campaign that will be running in the last week of term, to raise awareness of the genocide in Sudan.

Also there is a RAG football grudge match between Dylan's & The SU Shop vs. The Old Firestation. Come along and support your team at the Wallisdown pitches form 12.30pm on Thursday 11th Dec. Let's hope the Dylan's boys can improve on their 6-1 thrashing last time out (please note, I only played until half time when Dylan's were only losing 2-1!)

Don't miss the Xmas Ball next Wednesday! The Opera House in Boscombe will be transformed into a winter wonderland with sets from 'Blurb' and 'The Kaiser Thiefs' (no prizes for guessing who they are tributes to!) Tickets only £10 in the SU Shop NOW!

(Okay so I lied about the sales pitch being over! That's it, i swear!)

Next term its time for elections and we want as many of you as possible running for all the different roles, you may be lucky and bag yourself President! ;)

That's all for now. Any thoughts, feelings, emotions, smells, tastes, hope, fears...anything, just get in touch. That's why I'm here!

Big love,
Your Pres,
Fred x

P.S. Only 18 shopping days left 'til Xmas!! A BU fairtrade hoodie never goes a miss if you ask me!

Genesis (just not as long!)

Hello and welcome,

My name is Fred, I'm the SUBU President and this is my blog! This is where I can keep you updated with what I've been up to and also you can ask me any question you may have!

So where are we...?

Well, recently I (along with 8 BU students) have been on an NUS Reform conference to adopt their new constitution, which was passed (woohoo!).
Also I have been preparing to deliver a session at an International Conference in Boston, USA, this weekend.
Our Children in Need World Record attempt last week was successful, where we got 103 staff and students in the refectory dressed as Superheros! And we raised £1,000 for CIN!
Graduation week was great too! I myself graduated from the Media School, and I got to attend some of the other ceremonies as a member of the Uni Board.

I'll keep this short, so that's all for now.

Please get in touch with any questions you may have,

See you around,
Fred - Your Pres
