BSM - Not the driving school!

Hi guys,
It is currently 9.10am on Thursday 22nd October meaning that in just under an hour the Big Student Meeting will be getting underway with hundreds of students expected to descend upon the Lees Lecture Theatre to debate and vote on issues that are important to BU students.
These include the the removal of the 'A' bus service, the closure of the sexual health clinic and the redundancies in the school of conservation science.
I expect this to be one of the best meetings we have had in a long while and cannot wait to see students hotly debating whether the Students' Union should be fighting to get better car parking facilities for it's students.
In other news, myself, James and Hannah went to Brighton last week to learn about Trustees and the effect they have on companies as the Union will be forced by law to change the way it is currently run.
This could potentially open up the oppurtunity to have students becoming Trustees as well giving you more of a say in the way the Union is run.
It's now 9.20am so i need to get ready for this meeting, I need to give a Sabbatical report and also am seconding a few motions in it so i must prepare!!
Catch you all later
With love
Scott

Forget Swine Flu....freshers flu is much more fashionable!

So....2 weeks of partying with all the new freshers and I get flu!

I know, I know, I deserved it but I had to make sure the parties we were providing were up to standard right....?!

Keep a close eye out for a night that is coming to the Old Firestation....Boogie Nights is a super funky 70s night which is sure to light up the firestation with the led dancefloor and cool lighting and cheesy 70s music......keep a look out for the promotional material which is....well....different!!

So.....what is it we actually do except partying? Well i have been developing some online training for Student Reps which I believe is the first of its kind as well as planning other education based initiatives which you will soon see throughout uni.

I have also been asking many of you to sign the petitions regarding the 'A' bus and the closure of the sexual health clinic and will be continuing to do this throughout the year.

Of course, the best way to get yourself heard is through the Big Student Meeting (22nd October 10-12 in the Lees Lecture Theatre) where you will decide what we represent you on for the term.

We need at least 100 students in order to make a difference to your lives and so please attend to have your say on buses, clinics or even staff redundancies in Conservation Science!!

Of course we have By-elections as well so watch this space for them where we have 12 candidates wanting your votes so they can represent your views over the next 8 months.

SUBU is a great tool for all of you who get involved whether it be enrolling on the Leadership programme, becoming a Rep or even just using your vote. We want you to get as involved as possible so you can have the best time you can while your here, and get the best job you can when you leave.

Keep pestering us when we are on campus and ask us whatever you like, we will almost always be able to help!!

Stay classy....and keep looking out for the blog!!

Much love xxx
