Selly Oak Campus hustings

So things didn't go exactly as planned on this front.

Oops.

All I can say on this matter is, please be just a little forgiving on this. While the intentions were good, and the work and assistance of both the VPDR and staff much appreciated by myself, unfortunately it didn't come together on the day. Mistakes in communication meant that the event wasn't as well publicised as would have been ideal.

Now, I'm fully expecting either myself or the VPDR to get mauled on this at the next Guild Council. Naturally, I support the right (indeed obligation) of guild councillors to hold their executive committee to account, on this matter I would urge them to have some restraint. Guild elections are immensely complex in their operation, requiring a large amount of logistical planning and communication. It is to be expected that a few small details don't run smoothly in an otherwise perfect process.

On a positive note, we should perhaps remember that this is the first time any Guild election event has been held at a location other than the main campus and the first time that a large number of the candidates visited the site during elections. They postered and flyered and, with assistance from myself, will be able to give lecture shouts on the site. Hopefully, having been there at least once, next years executive committee will be better placed to represent the students of Selly Oak Campus.

Better luck next year ay?
