Folks, see a message from the Students’ Association.

I am the new project worker for the Students’ Association and I am responsible for supporting social and activities. I am currently looking to invite you back along to LGBT on Wednesday 19th March at 4.30pm in the Students; Association common room to have a catch up on how you are all getting on. We are looking to recruit more students to the society and we have a few exciting ideas about campaigns including:

• Equal rights for gay people donating blood
• Commonwealth games and laws surrounding 85% of the countries participating

We would be delighted to see you come along, I am going to buy in some Dominos pizzas, soft drinks and a few other little things. If you could let me know if you could make it along so I can get an idea of numbers I would be grateful.

Best regards

Mark McCafferty
