A week in the life...

Afternoon,

I haven't received any suggestions for my blog this week so I'll take you through a snapshot of what I've been up to.

Monday - went to a meeting about the new building project that will create an amazing new Union building beginning from the tail end of next year. Haven't got too far along in the process yet but the initial ideas are exciting.

Tuesday - had a meeting on the Sound Impact Awards which I've mentioned previously. We've now been through all the criteria and are in the process of seeing what measures we can put in place to improve our environmental performance.

Wednesday - went to see the Edge the central reception/restaurant/cafe/bar in the Endcliffe site. I hadn't seen it before and it was impressive. The development continues to get all the accomodation on the site up and running.

Today - catching up with a couple of Union managers and have a meeting later about what the Union could do in terms of online retail. It may well take a while for anything to come online, but it's good to be looking into the possibilities.

Friday - meeting with the Union auditors for them to clear last year's accounts.

The moment of my week was when I returned to my office to find a bar of chocolate wrapped up with an encouraging bible verse. Thanks to the thoughtful person/people who gave it to me. It was much appreciated.

One final thing: hopefully you'll have noticed promotion for Students' Union Council. I say get involved. It means you'll get to spend every other Thursday evening in my company!
If you need a more substantive reason to stand then you'll get to debate Union policy, scrutinise the officers work and whole load of other exciting stuff. The Union really is shaped by students and this is your chance to play a significant part in that. If you've any questions be in touch with any officers, myself included (pete.johnston@shef.ac.uk).
