    sorry about the late notice, people were in the lake district and then I’ve only just got back into manchester.

    Here are the details for tomorrow.It is going to be at 89th withington at 8pm. The plan is to do our best to promote Manchester South Network through the medium of video advertising! Plan is to create a few short films which can be used for publicity. Tom will also be taking photos for silhouettes if you want one.

    G’Day

    I hope those that went to Gathering have now recovered, and got through the mountains of washing and tent drying.

    Network next week is going to be a picnic (weather permitting) and is being organised by Hannah. For more information, check out the forums.

    The week after (monday 19th april) is going to be a TV advert,, but I have no idea who is meant to be organising it, and I’m a little bit lacking on time for the few weeks when we get back. So if you want to organise it, get in touch.

    The week after we’re meant to be going to the velodrome, but this may not happen on the set date due to the velodrome not offering the sessions when we want it, as usual, more information on the forum.

    AGM

    The AGM, and MSN’s second birthday party and prizegiving date is set for the 10th may, so I know its quite in advance, but is easy to forget about when exams and coursework start getting in the way.

    Would you like to shape network in the coming year? We need people to stand for the exec, with all the positions potentially up for grabs. Thejob roles are: progammes manager, secretary, treasurer, quartermaster, IT sec. The definitions of what each job includes can be found on the forums.

    If you wish to stand for a position, you will either need to prepare a short speech (just a few lines) on why you think you would be good for the role to be read out on the night, or if you can’t make it, email your reasons to us before the AGM to be read out in your absence.

    If you have any issues with this, or more questions on what each job entails, either email the exec on exec AT mansouthnetwork.org.uk or email the specific person directly. private messages can also be sent on the forum.

    Think thats all for now, and good luck to the boys doing their QSA practise hike next week

    Network over the easter holidays

    25 March, 2010 (23:34) | News | By: Dani

    Easter is creeping closer, and I’m limiting myself to a creme egg a day…

    So, with quite a few people leaving Manc for the holidays, next Monday is going to be a social at the new weatherspoons in didsbury (its just before 88th’s hall) with the possibility of going somewhere (another pub/doing something) after that.

    Its then Gathering for the Easter weekend. If you are going to gathering, please check the thread on the forums for the latest information.

    The menu for the weekend is up, and if you need tent space it can also be sorted on the forum.
    Lifts also need to be worked out, along with deciding what time we want to leave on friday.

    If there are any issues with gathering, either post on the forum, or email me.

    Easter monday network (5th april) will probs be a post gathering meal out somewhere, probs either in fallowfield or curry mile.

    The monday after that (12th) is open to suggestions, as nothing has been planned. So if anyone wants to organise something, let me know.

    Think thats all for now

    monday 22nd march

    21 March, 2010 (15:04) | News | By: Dani

    Sorry about the late notice, uni is getting in the way a little bit!

    Its a bit of a change of plan form what was on the program, we’re now going to the dog and partridge in Didsbury for the pub quiz. Meeting there at 8pm, and the quiz I think starts at 8:30. The pub is just by the bus stop that you would get off to go to the scout hall.

    We also need to do a bit of discussion about Gathering, as we need to meet with NMN and discuss food with them soon.

    Upcoming stuff

    As uni has a break for easter, network will still be running, but probably just socials unless someone wants to organise something. We could also do a meal out on the monday we all get back from gathering.

    The monday back we’re doing a TV advert – who said they would organise this??

    Then the week after we’re going to the velodrome, being organised by Ben, more details about that one to follow soon.

    Then, its time to start thinking about network for next year. The AGM isn’t until the 10th may, but we need to elect a new exec, so if you want to stand for something, there are descriptions on the forum of all the roles so you can see what you would like to stand for. More info about the AGM will be out after easter.
