First Week

Christian

Well, that was an interesting first week, negotiating blizzard conditions and a 130 mile trip to start my first day. Then being sent home at 12pm as the snow was so heavy.

The end of the week saw me moving into my accomadation and arranging, re-arranging then arranging some more, till i finaly settled in. Gorgeous place, some of you guys better come and visit.

Well down to business, the first week was lost to the snow, so yesterday i classed that as my official first day. I sat with my coach for a few hours and we went through the processes of the Union and what they wanted from me in the first few weeks.

Meetings were placed in my diary, strategy and future progress to name but a few, then it was visits to meet un-happy members and a chance to organise around some real life issues, at the end of the week (cant wait for that)

Contacting NEM’s late yesterday (National Executive Members) on their feelings and view points on Organising and how they see their Unions place in it all, some excellent feed back so far.

Half way through the first exercise ready for Oxford on the 25th!! Train tickets booked and i have just paid my TV license!! see you all soon.
