40th Anniversary notices
John
Hegley at Theatre in the Mill
Wednesday 14 June 2006, 7.30pm
University of Bradford Graduate, John Hegley, returns for a special performance as part of the University's 40th Anniversary celebrations.
Join John Hegley for a marriage of poetry, tale-telling and songs drawn from his new book, Uncut Confetti. In a quest to rediscover his continental roots, the poet visits the ancient carnival in Nice, puts on a mask and conjures the spirit of his French folie bergère dancing Grandma. Then he lets loose in the streets for a knees-up.
New poems, old potatoes . . . a stanza bonanza.
An accompanying book by John Hegley, also entitled Uncut Confetti was published by Methuen in April, and will be available to buy at the performance.

General University notices
Works in the Richmond Foyer
Further to the work at present underway to remove the existing ceilings from the Richmond Foyer, the remainder of the area will be dismantled in two stages over the weekends of 17/18 and 24/25 June.
During the weekend 17/18 June an enclosure will be formed blocking off the bi-parting doors at the top of the ramp and Reception. An access tunnel will be formed to Security (the other two pairs of bi-parting doors will be clear by then).
For the weekend of 24/25 June, the enclosure for removal of the last
section of ceiling will block all access up the steps into the Lift lobby.
Diversions will be in operation for access to the Richmond Building.
Work in the Richmond Foyer will continue until mid-September.
Should you have any queries regarding the work, please direct them to Mr Peter McCluskey on extension 3422.
Yorkshire in Bloom
The University has for the first time entered the Yorkshire in Bloom competition - http://www.yorkshireinbloom.co.uk/ (will open in a new window)
Due to the amount of improvement works in progress at Main Campus the School of Management site has been entered. The Estates and Facilities Department Grounds Maintenance team are putting in an extra special effort in readiness for the judging which will take place in early July.
Please do what you can to keep the grounds looking their best and good luck!

How Love is Spelt
by Chloe Moss
Bradford University Theatre Group (BUTG)
Tickets £4.50/£3 concessions
"The same things don't happen twice, that can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. My glass is half-full, I think it's good to be like that."
Peta has thrown herself into a new city, new people and a new life with a vengeance, although life in a student bedsit in London is perhaps not as glamorous as she imagined it would be.

Save Energy - hints and tips
Switch off!
Did you know that if you switch off all non-essential office equipment overnight you could save enough energy to run a small car 100 miles?
Save energy - switch off all monitors, PCs, printers, faxes and photocopiers when leaving the office. Every little bit helps.
