Hello and welcome back to the first edition of The Bucks Student of the year!

Welcome to anyone new who’s joined us throughout freshers and welcome back to all returning students. I hope that you have settled in well and taken advantage of Freshers Fortnight! I’m going to give you a quick update on what we’ve been up to and what is coming up.

Firstly, it was great to meet so many new faces out and about on the concourse and in The Venue over the last week or so. It’s been a successful couple of weeks and especially a successful Freshers Fair. Having so many people sign up for new clubs and societies is always good to see - but remember, it’s never too late to sign up.

Just visit the Students’ Union website, bucksstudentsunion.org (with a brand-new look!) click on our Clubs and Societies section and you will be able to find the information needed on there.

With the start of the term means the start of the BUCS Wednesdays. For those who don’t know or haven’t experienced a BUCSWednesday then you’re in for a treat. Wednesdays will become your favourite day of the week. Heading out to a home or away match in the early afternoon with a group of mates is always a highlight. Whether home or away, these matches are always welcoming to all spectators and families, keep an eye out on our socials on @ Bucksstudentsactivities Instagram for the fixture lists. On a side note, there is an agreement between the University and the Union that there shouldn’t be any lessons or personal tutor sessions after midday on a Wednesday to allow for students to take part in activities. If this hasn’t been followed on your course then please email me at tom. teatherstone@bucks.ac.uk or pop into the office and come speak to me.

Finally, from me is that we have Movember coming up! I am heading this up as a Sabb campaign this year so please keep an eye out for all the opportunities that there will be for you to get involved in! I am also going to be looking for two student Movember ambassadors to work closely with myself and Movember to put on the best month of fundraisers so if this is something you’d be interested in then please contact me again on the VPSI Facebook (@BucksVPSI) or drop me an email at tom.teatherstone@
