Brackenhurst Old Students' Meeting

Tonight's meeting of BOSA (Brackenhurst Old Students' Association) was another indication of how supportive our Alumni are of all our activities. Apart from finalising plans for the annual lunch in March - which takes some organising as hundreds attend, there was useful discussion about how to keep the database of ex-students and staff up to date in conjunction with the University's Alumni Office.  The head of the Alumni Office Tim Cobb, came to Brackenhurst last week with several of his staff to better understand some of our priorities for support from the Alumni Fund and benefactors.

I was able to give them - and tonight's committee - an update on all our current projects - and the strong recruitment this year to all the School's courses. We also talked about the new library proposals and about some of our ideas for heritage conservation projects on the estate. These include the planting of traditional Nottinghamshire apple varieties to help ensure they are actively conserved and a proposed bid with the MA in Museums and Heritage Management to restore some of the old farm buildings.
