You be pleased to know that Fish on Toast won SUSU's "Best Society" at the EVAs last night for our achievements in the last year. Proud would be an understatement.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make Fish on Toast great this year.
First, to our sponsors: Microsoft, The Utility Warehouse Business Link, Coverzones, Venture Finance and Huddle. They have donated their money and time for us to run some fantastic events and competitions this year. 100 T-shirts, 140 pizzas, 75 cookies and 100 bottles of water weren't free you know! Most of all they have facilitated epic expansion of our membership, and our reputation on campus. Thank you.
Second, our guest speakers. Every one of you donated your time and expertise for the benefit of all the Fish on Toast members. Loads of lessons were learned and get contacts and connections made. Thank you.
Third, the committee who gave up huge amounts of their time for free to make Fish on Toast a success from the Bunfight all the way through to the AGM.
Fourth, the staff members who have helped us this year (There are loads more who we can't fit here) particularly;
Helena Schulze - Student Enterprise Officer, offering fantastic council, funding and great ideas;
Janice Rippon - Head of Student Services, who made entrepreneurship a real concept for the careers service; and Debra Humphris - Pro-Vice Chancellor, who has promoted Fish on Toast and SIFE to the upper echelons of the university management. Thank you.
Finally to the members that make Fish on Toast what it is. You are inspiring, exciting and intelligent people and I know that I've met individuals who will change the world for the better. Thank you all.
It's been a great year and I've really enjoyed it - I hope you did too!
All the best in the future,
James
