The Union Show 2008

I had an awesome day with my Elect yesterday at the NUSSL Union Show 2008 hosted in Telford.

The Union Show is an annual event whereby Officers and Staff members from Students' Unions can sample free products for their bars and shop to work out what new stock they might like to order in for the following year.

Our Venues staff went along with the purchase order forms to talk business so myself and Hannah pretty much had a quality day of being showered with freebies!

The Union Show has a carnivalesque atmosphere - imagine the Freshers Fair on steroids and you're pretty much there. Here is a list of what I encountered:-

• people dressed as monkeys untying my shoelaces.
• a samurai on stilts.
• a computerised, LCD-screen pinball machine.
• a milk float of Red Bull.
• lots of people walking around with shot trays.
• an oven that cooked an entire pizza in 90-seconds.
• a giant ostrich.
• Dave Lewis.

Overall, it was a great handover session for Hannah, as she met various members of the NEC, NUSSL and Sabbs from other Unions. We also got to talk to lots of potential caterers for when we move towards serving food in the later stages of the Building Redevelopment.

Long live NUSSL!
