Apologies and many blogs to make up for it...

Ok, firstly I have been atrociously abysmal at blogging and there are no excuses, I have been busy but I should have found the time! Anyway I will blog now a few times to try and make up for the awfulness.

Firstly RA training was held at the end of last term over a weekend in Cleobury Mortimer near Kidderminster. The RAs received training on their individual remits, representation, managing differences and event planning while also doing team building sessions like bridge building and blindfolded assault courses. All the sabbs attended and many staff too as the team delivered a great training weekend ending with a massive role play session called Fibchester designed to put the skills they learned into action. Thanks to all those involved in the delivery and the RAs that were elected in the by-elections were also trained today.

The RA by-elections went well and there are now full committees everywhere but in Pritchatts Park and Victoria Hall where by-elections will now be held. For the first time we had a recognition event for the by-election, which I think is a massive step forward; the night went well apart from my calamitous reading out of the results!

Many of the steps that were asked to be taken from the internal audit surrounding RAs are in the process of being completed and I will update you on these in the near future.
