Leeds Metropolitan University News and Media

The News and Media team are spreading Christmas cheer after the office festivities, including parties and lunches. The office is full of Christmas spirit as we put up the Christmas tree in our new home, 108, The Grange at Headingley Campus. The Communications department have been relocated to the Grange, and after spending a week emptying draws, archiving files, and throwing out over 30 bags of rubbish, our winter clean has been completed and we are ready to start 2010 with a new beginning and a new home.

The Communications and Marketing teams were brought together last week at the Christmas party, with a tasty buffet, dj’s and a dance floor. Cris certainly had all the ladies dancing, showing off his latest Strictly Come Dancing moves and the International and Health marketing officers certainly owned the dance floor that night. The evening was even cultured with Beth, Duncan and I showcasing our Irish dancing skills to the Pogues. The night was a great success that even Joyce made it in the next day (well about 1pm) to be congratulated by the team for organising such a fun and eventful night in Mook.

The office move has meant that each team within the Communications department are in their own offices in the Grange. As one final get together Branding, Corporate Events, Web and Multimedia and the News and Media team descended on Vodka Revs for a Christmas lunch whilst BMG worked tirelessly, hoisting over 50 boxes to the first floor of the Grange. We are now all settled in, and are waiting to open our secret santa presents over the next week as the team begin to go on annual leave for the Christmas break. On behalf of the News and Media team we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
