Ramblings of a pixel-pushing, barely-sane Sabbatical officer and Meeja Whore

Last-minute nerves

This coming Monday marks the first and most public test of the Media & Publications candidates' abilities and knowledge.

First up is candidates' question time, broadcast live on Pure:FM - the Union's student radio station - at midday.

The basic format for this is an hour of the elections candidates being questioned live on air by a (probably equally nervous) Pure:FM presenter.

(Find out more about Question Time times here).

In the evening, Hustings is where each candidate has to get on stage and give a short speech about themselves, followed up by questions from the floor - an ideal opportunity for a good old fashioned bit of heckling.

Do tune in and come down if you have a chance, even if it's only to hear me making a numpty of myself ;o)
