We managed to put a staff team of 12 players together (I don't think any of our students bothered to count past 10) and it included some academics and some clearly cricket capable researchers.

My only master stroke was delegating the captaincy to Rob. His strategy was to embarrass the academics and capitalise as much as possible on the batting talent we did have. It was sportingly agreed the staff would bat first so that the match would not drag on and a fairly respectable 113 off 20 was scored. Students started strongly but looked vulnerable, especially after a superb catch from Peter. They hit 114 with 5 overs to go to take the match. Paul saved some face by taking a wicket, stumps and all, with pretty much the next ball. His lap of the cricket pitch would have been the highlight had 20 odd students not invaded at that point to congratulate him by all-piling-on.

The students take all credit for organising the successful event and despite a few sore hands and knees everybody enjoyed it. A little more forewarning next year, hopefully a campus pitch, and I understand Richard will take the first Bat or Bowl

Dear Colleagues

This e-bulletin has been prompted by a recent dangerous incident involving the spillage of a hazardous substance in a department. DSO's are asked to remind those using and storing dangerous substances or substances that could cause pollution, that emergency procedures are required for spillages or accidental releases. This should include procedures for major spillages and minor spillages or leaks, and they should include; what to do if the material is spilt onto a person, how to contact the emergency services (in the case of a major release), how to neutralize hazardous substances, where to obtain safety data sheets, isolation and signage of affected areas etc.

Furthermore, in order to avoid a serious environmental incident, all possible efforts must be made to protect against spillages from reaching the surface water drains.

Best regards

Good morning , in response to a question I was asked on Monday, any one intending to work over the Christmas break, is reminded that there will not be any heating in the building, as the boilers are turned off over Christmas by Facility Management, we do not have any portable heaters in the department.

I am just wondering whether anyone has a Western Digital Elements external
hard drive and whether i could borrow the power supply cable for a couple of
hours.

Thanks
Chris

Good Morning or Afternoon depending on when you read this!

We are trying to gather together the reading lists for each department. I understand that many of you are just coming away from holidays and perhaps won't get this straight away, but no matter. We are still here beavering away to get ready for the start of the term.

If there are some books you also want ordering then please pass on your lists to Pat and we'll get them to you ASAP. I know last year we had a good list of vehicle design and automotive handbooks. We have some new publishers this year and could maybe use them if there are some new books you are interested in, or if you'd like us to research some titles, then just let me know!! We are here to help you.

I shall not take up more time than necessary, you know what we can do and where we are. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to make your push to term time easier.

Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
