"I've lost count of the number of fantastic and varied events that the staff have managed to create and run this year. Running good events and performances takes a huge amount of effort - when we run events at the university I'm always staggered at the amount of detail there is to sort out and the work involved in finding, approaching and bringing in external people to speak or perform.... and that's without the Thank You letters etc.

But the events at Commonweal are bringing so much energy and variety to the school that it must be helping to engage and inspire students - so I wanted to say, "Thank you" to all the staff involved."

Best wishes
Christine Hardisty - Chair of the governors June 2005
