On Tuesday we held the annual HWB staff summer event, to say thank you to our staff for their hard work over past year.<\/p>\n

Despite a slightly murky start to the day the sun definitely decided to put its hat on for us and gave us a glorious afternoon.\u00a0 Our leafy Collegiate Campus providing us with a perfect backdrop to enjoy some music, drinks, BBQ food and games with our colleagues (without the need for a rain hat!).<\/p>\n

The more adventurous \/competitive of us could be spotted having a go on the garden darts and croquet – whilst most of us (me included) enjoyed the opportunity to talk to colleagues and catch some rays on the grass.<\/p>\n

We found out that one of our own had some hidden talents, and asked Katie Evans from the Planning & Initiatives team if she would kindly do some live singing for us.\u00a0 She did an amazing job (definitely no need for the nerves) and I personally loved Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics!<\/p>\n

Our PVC Alison Metcalfe also took the opportunity again<\/a> to thank all staff for their hard work and dedication to the faculty, before Deputy Dean Toni Schwarz announced our competition winners.<\/p>\n

This year the Greedy Greek deli on Sharrowvale and our own SBS training restaurants kindly donated some gift vouchers, as well as having some wine and chocolates on offer.<\/p>\n

Rachel Reeder from the HWB student and academic services team managed to most closely guess the sweeties in a jar – although no one managed to get it spot on! Well done Rachel!<\/p>\n

Whether you managed to pop down or not – the thank you extends to all our staff.\u00a0 If you have any comments or feedback from the event please forward them to ! HWB Staff Engagement<\/a>, as this will help us plan anything like this for the future.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
