Howdy...

so what have i been up to then?? well apart from the stacks of assignments and practical week looming, I've been working on my up and coming campaigns, attending the clubs & societies meeting and representing you lot at the Winton Community Forum Meeting.. which was an experience to say the least. Any Way more about that later...

Each week the SABB teams meet up, each of these small teams within exec are headed up by a Sabbatical officer, mine being Ads..the VP Comms. One of the issues high on all of execs agenda is Lansdowne campus and as we have the Lansdowne officer on our team, were trying to smarten up the SUBU lansdowne area, so on Monday our team had our meeting down there to asses and decide what we want to do down there. So after about 45 mins of myself, Emily, Ads and Tufan playing at being interior designers and moving the furniture around a bit, we've come up with a great plan. following this Ads has a meeting with estates on Monday to get the plan in motion.

So on Wednesday i attended the clubs and societies meeting, this is where the new clubs are approved, budget requests for existing clubs are reviewed and anything club n soc's is decided.
This week saw the Role playing soc..(think dungeons and dragons but different) and the bar tending society.. which sounds good.. might join as i wouldn't mind learning to flare bartend.

I spent the rest of Wednesday working on my campaigns.. the first one coming to fruition is the your SUBU- not profit. I started to get quite excited as G the SUBU design guys about to start sorting the artwork for it. woot .

Wednesday evening saw myself, Ads, Dan C, Dan M , Terri and the SUBU commercial manager Alan Dove head to the Winton Community Forum, the meeting was called by a local councillor to discuss the impacts of students on winton.

Although the majority of the comments were negative towards us the students, some of the locals left fairly content knowing that the students union were doing something. Quite some time later the meeting finished and we could head home...

Thursday sees our weekly exec meeting taking place in P403 at 6pm...
which your all welcome to come see at anytime... this weeks meeting was fairly quick, one of the first things on the agenda was a presentation from leisure tourism students asking for funding for one of their assessed events. Other topics discussed included lansdowne and the winton community forum.

As per usual, feel free to post comments here or send your thoughts, fears, tastes, emotions, smells, hopes or anything else to susteven@bournemouth.ac.uk

SUBU love
