AU Dinner

Now only a week away, and I am getting nervous. Just about everything is in place or being completed, table plans being finalised, programmes being collected this week along with the awards. S cross-fingers everything will be ready for a fabulous evening!!!!

I have also been meeting with sports societies to discuss the possibility of them being recognised as a UBS club. I have tried finding ways of leveling the playing field between the UBS sports clubs and the Guild sports this year and this is a possible breakthrough, where societies can access many of the oppotunities that are open to the UBS sports clubs. However, this does not include financial help....it is more about the fitness services and marketing oppotunities that UBS can offer!!!

updates updates updates

So as the week draws to a close I thought I would update to where I have got to this week. With regards to the AU Dinner, the Programme has been designed and is ready to be sent off, and the trophies have been ordered, with correct specifications and names. Hopefully they will all be ready for collection well in advance of the dinner. I am also meeting the digital media group this afternoon to see how the au dinner video is coming along. cross-fingers, its going to be awesome!!!!!

In other news, I have also been chosen onto the BUCS West Midlands Executive Group which essentially means I will be helping to direct the current board group. Katie will take this role over as I finish, with the proper preperation of course. What also came out of that meeting significantly is that the BUCS competitions group will now meet as an East and West Midlands party, not seperately, which, if you want more explanation why please email me, is necessary.

Have a great Bank Holiday Weekend!!!!

UPDATE

Hope everyone had a great weekend......Thankyou to many clubs who managed to get footage in for the AU Dinner video, very much appreciated. Weve got a big week this week of course with the great debate, and if you are reading this please make sure you come and attend as it should be a fantastic evening. On the same day I will also be part of the Sports development away day. The VPS elect will also be joining me and I hope she gets a lot out of it as it is looking a lot into planning for the future with a view to whats coming up at the start of next year!!!

Othere than that, the AU Dinner is of course the massive project on my plate

AU Dinner

So, as already promised, the AU Dinner is taking up a massive amount of time. This weeks mini-projects include the programme, where we have design meetings and also talk about the content, and also the AU dinner film. Currently I am trying to collect as many photos and as much game film as possible so we can compile the best film possible. Tickets for the Dinner also go on general sale as of the 29th of April, so get in contact with me if you are interseted.

Guild football is now also a regular feature on Thursday evenings as part of our healthy living and team play attitude, so come watch if you fancy some laughs and supporting......and if you want to play, again, come and see me

Back to work!!

Well, after some well earned time off.....where I am delighted to say I was part of the Birmingham Lions team that won the National Championship, I am back and refreshed ready for work. The AU Dinner however looms large on the horizon and will be taking up a fair old amount of my time from now on..the joys of being VPS. I hope everyone had a great Easter break, and is ready for the 3rd term

Working in Beorma - FAB FAB FAB

Due to an 11th hour emergency, and a shortage of staff, I am delighted to say I stepped in and worked on Beorma bar last Friday night. The first thing I have got to say is I really enjoyed myself, despite the sweat pouring off my brow lol. It was actually really fun being the other side of the bar, and seeing what people are like in FAB, and of course imagining what I am usually like. It is great chance to people watch also (when the bar is not busy of course, which between 11-1 it was mad)!!!

I would also like to thank the bar staff who helped me with a few bits on the night, they were fabulous and a credit to the venues team.....

I hope everyone has a great Easter break.

Kukri Fashion Show

Just wanted to say congratulations to all the models and particularly Will Hemming that works for Kukri and in our very own Kukri store on campus. The show was really well set up and proved just how far Kukri have come in the last few years, and that the quality of the kit they are now producing really is top of the range. The University of Birmingham is regularly commented on as being the best dressed University for Sport.......long may it continue

I am now off to help lend a hand in looking at the AU Budgets for next year, hope all is well!!!
