Hi

Just to let you know that for PD and Interior Design Students we have had to hire tables from an external company to use during the festival.PD & Interior Design students will therefore get one 30" Square each table to use during the festival.

I have a sample of the table in my office P311 if you would like to come and have a look.

The rest of you will be able to use the tables that are available in the rooms that you will be using.

We'll also discuss this at our next student rep meeting.

Thanks Nicky

P.S I now work in Talbot on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so if that is the best time to catch me in P311 if you have any queries.

Opening Night

2009-06-17T11:36:00.001+01:00

Just a quick update about the Festival opening night. It is really important that you all stay on your stands between 18.30 and 21.00. However, at 21.00 when the opening night closes, we have arranged for some catering so that you can all grab something to eat, and you will also all receive 1 wine voucher to use in the Student Refectory. Remember, Dylan's will also be open from 21:00 to midnight, so when you're finished in the refectory, you can go up there.

Just to re-iterate it is crucial that you all stay on your stands between 18.30 and 21.00.

Hi everyone

We have created e-invitations for FODI this year, which you can send onto any family, friends and anyone else you would like to come along to FODI this year.

The E-Invitations have been sent to the reps, so they should be forwarding them to you soon. Look out for them in your inboxes.

Photos

2009-04-30T11:41:00.002+01:00

Hi everyone

Just a message from our photographer - please don't wear white when you come for your photos. Bright colours work best and look really good on your profile page, so please dress accordingly.

Thanks

Shirt Printing and Logo

2009-04-28T15:15:00.005+01:00

Please see below for information and advice on printing your course t-shirts/polo shirts.

BU Core Logo: Please use the BU Core Logo on your shirts. There are two options for the reproduction of the logo - vinyl and embroidery, you will need to discuss with the t-shirt company what option you think is best and the cost implications that this may have.

T-Shirts / Polo Shirts: We have provided a colour palette of the BU Colours. It is strongly advised that if you require a coloured shirt that you pick a colour as close to one of the predefined colours as possible. If you need reminding what colour your course is simply look on the website.

Positioning: Logos would need to be set on the right breast of the wearer left-breast for the onlooker and the Size = 65mm. Your course logo set to the left breast if you have one.
