So, Freshers Fortnight is over. Once again we have come through the start of another academic year. So what's different this year?

Well, UPSU is certainly on the democratic trail. Every Committe and Exec have had more candidates stand for election this year and and last year was our best year to date so it looks like the trend has been set. Societies Exec, Sports, VIP, Pugwash and Union Council all with more interest. We looking to continue this development - get involved you might like it.

Clubs and Societies are squeezing themselves into the Student Centre - another great sign with regaurd to student involvment.

Pure have their new station- making them quite happy although reduced opening hours are putting a damper on their spirits at the moment - this situation will be resolved soon giving much better access.

We are now looking forward to a very busy first term with plenty more democratic events. Next up will be Societies Council and Sports Council leading into the next Union Council and the AGM before Christmas. During this same period we also have the NUS conference elections to run.

Great fun all round and it looks like reduced opening hours are starting to cause a bit of a commotion. Hey ho.

It's all starting, very very busy. Fayre tents are up. All the promo stuff is coming in! luuurvly.

How gutted am I. very.

Another short night of sleep which was interspersed with a nose bleed! Mad!

Workwise - Freshers Fayre Logitics are well underway - Booking tents staff talking to the Uni etc. All going well - quite alot to do but all going well.

The new strapline is now being rolled out over stationary and carrierbags. All good. Societies budgets are underway too and we're developing some nice new project areas that will ensure U0P is a good Uni to come to!

Website - Alex is still on a jury somewhere so communication is limited to 20minutes at midday - so not ideal. I'm trying to pull ideas together so the homepage redeseign can go ahead. The new design will reflect the reinvigorated democratic direction that the Union has taken.

Other things: Directory, A5 fold out parts for advertising, A5 leafelt and info for academics, NUS cards! Staffing... gawd quite alot more that's making todays entry is up. Oh and getting the Sabbs to use their Blog! Fraggy! damn he's at Bestival!

To finish up another piccy of little S - with me this time:)
 

Disgusting I know but Seth did the most massive poo i have ever seen. I couldn't quite believe it when i saw it. We had to give him a bath! I know is stuff is probably old hat to you guys with kids but man! I was shocked!
