Friendship

I sat in on a committee meeting of the Friends of the University of Buckingham last night: and what an amazing organisation it is! I was thoroughly impressed with the range of activities they put on for students of the university and their own members during the course of the year. These include English language conversation classes (see below), a games evening for new students, arranging meals for students in local people's houses, cookery lessons for the 'domestically challenged' students and so on it goes. And it is only a fairly small group of active stalwarts who make all this happen! For the members there are annual meetings involving lectures, Pimms, BBQs and more!

So if you wish to join: please visit this page and sign up! There is more information about the group here

And back to the conversation classes: one member of the committee - Marilyn - has been running these for some Japanese students over the last few months. Below is how they thanked her. Wonderful!
