( Freshers Fayre day 2 )

( Waffling about Freshers Fayre )

Helped out re-enactment with their taster session today. It went moderately OK I thought, despite the SU having screwed things up as per usual. Whilst they had placed us in the same location as everyone else, they'd yet again failed to make any effort towards telling people it was happening besides a little footnote in the sea of paperbased ( Read more... )

Technically we've just had the first official IFIS Thursday pub night for almost a year. Not only did we have 2 students turn up (bogadalas doesn't count as he hasn't joined in ages). Not only were they freshers. But they were actual living breathing members of the committee! :O

Well that was day 1 of 2 of Freshers Fayre. No idea how well we did as they've changed things so that people pay at the end rather than at each stall. We did get a fair number of email addresses though. If they all join too, then that'll be enough to keep re-enactment solvent.

Tomorrow I get to do it all again for IFIS.

So, another weekend has gone by. Unlike most weekends, this one officially started on Friday. I'd taken the day off on the chance that I might go bravely forth with the IFIS Librarian to buy more books for the library. Unfortunately she couldn't make it, so that just left me. Until uveron said he might tag along and help. Except he didn't cos he ( Read more... )
