December '08 Guild Council Report

Just a short report this time Guild Council; with end of term course deadlines mounting up, the amount of time I have been able to spend on SSO matters recently has not been as great as I had hoped. But although I have not been able to be entirely proactive of late, I should like to remind all the students of satellite sites that I am entirely open to their issues, and would urge them to contact me on sso@guild.bham.ac.uk

A quick update on the progress of the Selly Oak Campus Committee; up till now, nominations have been slow coming in, despite ,y frequent visits to the site and the large amount of publicity materials which I have distributed. Now, however, is not the time to give up, and I shall be launching a fresh offensive in January to get candidates to come forward. The establishment of a successful small scaloe representative body is something I feel is essential for the Guild to have a continued role in supporting students on the site.
Return visits to Ironbridge and Shakespeare, though initially hoped to occur this semester have , for aforementioned reasons been put back. I am still hoping to undertake these visits early next semester, with a number of key Sabbs in tow – updates to follow.

An apology.

Anyone who has taken the time to actually read this blog may have noticed a slight hiatus in posting. This doesn't mean I haven't been doing any work, just that I haven't been blogging much. There no follows, by way of compensation if you like, some posts detailing my activities over the long break.

Actually, there is another apology of sorts which follows. Activities on the SSO front were somewhat limited for myself for the last few weeks of last semester, and there is a very good reason for that. As anyone who has been a Non-Sabb would probably testify, sometimes you just has to put your degree. Anyone still in your first year - enjoy it while it lasts, deadlines are right buggers.

Cheers all
