Well, the months keep on rolling by! Just where has 2015 gone?
Somehow we're coming to the end of November, and another busy month for ahs.
The Securi-Mo guys are still fundraising for Movember, taking donations online and in the library.
We're seeing Christmas decorations start to appear around campus. We've got them up in the bars and eateries and we're starting to notice a few in the students' windows too, which is always nice to see.
Christmas promotions
We're gearing up for the festive season with a whole range of Christmas offers, snacks, meals and events.
We're booking Christmas parties and lunches for guests, staff and students. We've got special edition, Christmas-themed hot drinks and a treats across our food outlets and we'll be serving up traditional Christmas lunches in lime tree, Fountain Canteen, Wessex Restaurant and Claverton Rooms over the next few weeks.
Meanwhile there will be a bit of a twist on the standard Christmas lunch in Parade Bar & Grill. Keep your eyes peeled for that one.
It all starts on Monday 30 November and these promotions will run for various periods throughout December.
The approach of the Christmas period also means some changes to the opening hours of our bars and eateries. More on that later.
House hunting
While everything on campus is looking very homely and comforting right now, it's also the time of year when students begin to make arrangements for their second year accommodation.
We ran a Housing Forum on Wednesday 18 November and we're running drop-in sessions in West Accommodation Centre until Wednesday 9 December for students to find out about what they need to do to secure housing for September 2016.
Studentpad will release the available homes for next year on 7 December, so these events can be a great help to students at a time when many of them will be looking for their first home in the big wide world.
Christmas opening hours
With Christmas just around the corner, and students due to leave campus and head to their families and friends for the festive period, our bars and eateries will operate reduced hours over the next few weeks.
Opening hours as usual unless otherwise stated.
