It’s coming round (well, it is…) that time of year when new students flock in their thousands to the University of Glasgow. For these new students, it’s probably one of the biggest changes of their lives. A lot of them will be moving out of a home they’ve lived in for nearly 20 years, and starting up a new life among strangers. They’ll be excited, definitely, but probably a wee bit nervous too.  Freshers’ week, then, is an excellent opportunity to share God’s love with folk, and to make them feel at home. For any prospective students reading this, seriously, Glasgow is awesome. You’ll love it.

But the whole host of events we have planned can’t be carried out unless we have the help of volunteers from CU to muck in. We’ll be helping freshers move in, putting out free drinks, holding  a pub quiz, and even having a ceilidh. But we need your help.

If anyone at all wants to get involved, please contact Scott Hamilton (scotth89@hotmail.co.uk). We’ll be massively appreciative of any help we can get, even just giving out drinks. Don’t pass up this opportunity!

At long last, the completed events table is up on the site. Feast your eyes on the wonders below, and mark them down in your diaries. The events in [brackets] are for people from CU who are helping out. Everything else is open to anyone! We look forward to seeing you there!
