SU President's Welcome

James NewHi peeps

This is my last term as President of Students' Union so I hope to go out with a bang and make sure I leave nothing unfinished.

Just updating you on a few things that are happening over the coming weeks.

Student Union elections will be over shortly so we will find out who will be taking over my job next year. Make sure you all vote as this is your chance to appoint who you want to represent your views and opinions.

Your Voice meeting Wednesday 30th May in the Vision Room at Derby Road.

Lunch with Asha Thursday 31st May General invite to all learners in the Vision Room at Derby Road.

A trip to Playzone at Lincoln will be taking place on Monday 25th June, this is a good chance for you to go back to your childhood days and have fun with the super slides and ball pools, and the trip is £10 or £8 if you have an NUS card.

Trip to Amsterdam Tuesday 26th June - Thursday 28th June £99 includes transfers, flights and 2 night's accommodation this trip is provisional as we need people to put deposits down.

Can I remind all students that you need to be wearing your lanyard at all times and also you need to go to lessons on time.

Film of the week

American Pie   | Rating: * * * *

american pie

American Pie: Reunion, a prolonged catch-up session with every last extra from the 1999 gross-out smash, feels like an invitation most of the cast accepted to forestall popping up in "Where Are They Now?" columns. The answer's here, back in their home town, swapping chagrined tales of adulthood and finding ways to be mildly risqué for old times' sake.
