Fireworks Fiesta in Farnham Park on Saturday 3rd November

Would anybody be interested in attending this? It's on a Saturday so I realise not everybody will be able to make it, but for us locals it could be a great night out (weather permitting!)

For more information, it's on this website - just click on "Fireworks Fiesta".

Tickets are £5 each.

MA Social Photos

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all enjoyed last night! See below for photos - there are also a few more in the MA group on Facebook.

Enjoy!

Here is Nairobi group's presentation. I selected some key power point slides.
(research finding, a new logo, web with a new logo and recommendations)

Presentation to the University Creative Marketing Team

On Sarah's request, here is Mumbai Group's presentation to the University Marketing Representative and other People Responsible For Making Important Decisions At Uni Who's Job Titles I Can't Remember.

It's in PDF format and will open in a new window/tab.

Tom/Mariko if you've got a version of Nairobi group's presentation too, can you get it on here too?

Tuesday 16th October Social at "The Slug & Lettuce"

Hello everybody,

Just a reminder about the gathering of MA at The Slug & Lettuce bar on Tuesday 16th October after the lectures during the day. They should finish at 6pm and then we can go to the pub! It would be great to see everybody there!

We will probably all go down in a group I imagine but in case anyone doesn't know the way, here's a map:



and here's what it looks like!



See you all soon!

Lecture / Seminar Cancellations

Hi All!

Just an idea - I think it might be wise for each MA discipline to have a contact so that, should a lecture be cancelled or rescheduled, the tutor can contact that person, who can then relay the message to other members of the group – this would help to avoid unnecessary journeys being made, - especially in cases where people are travelling for over an hour or more to get to Uni for a lecture!

I did have a conversation with one student last week who embarked on their journey at silly o’clock in the morning in order to get to Uni for 9, only to find that their lecture had been cancelled!!!

Thanks!

Joe.

How to Register with Facebook and Join the Masters Group

Hello again, here's a quick guide for anyone who is not yet registered with Facebook and wants to join the MA Group. Facebook is a "Social Networking Website". Basically it means you have a profile about yourself with links to your friends and allows you to share pictures and groups. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but you soon get used to it and it's a generally fun place to just have a natter about things.

First of all, go to www.facebook.com

You will see a section that says

Everyone can use Facebook —

If you click the "Sign Up" button, you will ask you for a few key points about yourself including name, where you're from, a contact email address, a security check (as discussed by Jim in the first week) and a box to tick that says you agree with the terms and conditions. If you follow the instructions from here, you will be set up with a page all about you! You can put on as much information as you want, or even keep a lot of it private, so it's up to you how much you want to share.

Once you're registered with the site, you can join various groups. The one we've been talking about is:

MA Roocckk on!

To find the group, either copy and paste the above text into the "Search" box on the left hand side in Facebook, or click this link. In this group you can write on the Wall and join in with the discussion that's going on there, even if it is just Wesley and Charlotte at the moment! You can also start a discussion on the Discussion Board, upload photos or just have a look to see what everybody else is doing.

I know that's not the most comprehensive set of instructions in the world, but I hope it gives those of you who haven't used Facebook before enough information to get you started. Please leave comments on the Blog if you're confused and one of us will try and answer your questions as best we can.

See you all soon!

Student Reps and Social Reps

Hello everyone, well done with the presentations today, lots of great ideas going around and brilliant discussion to go with it!

Sarah has asked me to put online the contact details for the four Student Reps and four Social Reps as some of the numbers/email addresses had errors. As the amount of time Sarah can invest in the blog is obviously limited, the 8 of us will be keeping you updated with what's going on, discussions for ideas and would like you to comment on the things we're talking about.

As said earlier, the FaceSpace (sorry, Facebook) group MA Roocckk on! has been set up courtesy of Wesley so we can discuss things that you don't feel would be relevent on the blog, share pictures etc. Please note that Sarah and other members of staff will not be using this for passing on information. Any formal updates or messages from MA staff members will come via Blackboard or this MA Blog. For people new to Facebook, I'll post instructions on how to set up an account after this.

So for now, here are your friendly MA Reps:
