The Student Union

A few problems have come about recently with the Student Union and our upcoming exhibition because of available dates. On first deciding on using the Student Union, the 24th-26th of March was said to be the ideal date for us to hold the exhibition, which was agreed upon by a member of the Union. Although we recieved an e-mail this morning stating that these dates were no longer possible due to meetings taking place in the rooms and basically said that the only dates available were the 4th April. This date is not an option for us as a few members of the group are on holiday, it also wouldn't be the ideal date as its the spring break and the majority of the students in the area will be going back home...etc, and so there would be fewer visitors for the exhibition. (To be honest I was a little dissapointed and angry at recieving this as they came to us very eager to work with the group, getting our hopes up and so we dropped all our other plans and stopped looking at other venues as it seemed set.)

However, I visited Peter this morning before my assessment and we contacted Jess Green (a member of the SU) explaining our concerns as a group and the problem with the dates. She took note of this and moved a few things about for us and so now the venue is available for us from the 21st April- 28th April (which is the date of our final assessment), which is leaving it a liitle late but there is no other alternative. It is also Easter weekend on the saturday to the monday and so the building will be closed, and so we will all set up our works in the spaces on the 21st and 22nd, and have a two day, two night exhibition from the 26th-27th April. Giving us one day before the final hand in of our work and docmentation.
