I asked this question to my 6 year old daughter yesterday...... she replied a 'passport looker' ?????
When I left school all I wanted to do was to travel the world, but on someone else's money.... so I went on to be cabin crew for ten years.
Most of my friends went onto university to study a number of different subjects and chosen career disciplines. I did not, unlike my husband, so I only have his memoirs to draw on about the 'University Scene'. The nearest I get is in my business now and the 'Society' garments that I produce for them, such as 'Society Hoodies' and other apparell that we get asked for.
That got me thinking.....'Who are these people?' 'What do they do?' and are the societies they are in, linked directly to their chosen degree or just for fun?
I only get to know the fundamental basics during our manufacturing process, such as, the individual names we put onto these garments, the roles and positions they hold within them, and the scratch the surface details of the events they are holding.
Call me inquisitive, or just nosey, but I want to know more. We recently supplied the 'Warwick University ESMO team 2011' with embroidered polo shirts for their fourth year MEng project run by the University of Warwick School of Engineering and the European Space Agency (ESA). but to someone like me ...'what do they do?' ( and in English please... as these guys look like they know what they are doing) check out their facebook page here:

Yes, I actually am interested, unlike some other companies , that may want to do the job but don't need to know any more about the group they are producing the goods for. You see, my need is personal, only if it is to gratify my own curiosity.
Then, I got a call from Steph Green from the 'Watch This' Guild of Students at Birmingham University, they asked us to produce personalised zoodies to promote their next performance of 'Between 6 and 7', which, according to the review on their facebook page, the performance had great acclaim during it's last run: and went on to say
'After great success at Buxton Fringe 2010 including nominations for Best New Writing, and shows in Liverpool this piece is given a Birmingham run presented by Watch This with an all new cast!
Check out their facebook page for more information on their upcoming event.

But do the 'Watch This Society' do this full time as a chosen direction or is it for fun? these are not the types of questions that get asked and answered during the ordering process, especially with me, as I can be too naturally inquisitive, which you don't necessarily want on an initial order phone call.
So what I am saying is ... feed me your news, your events and what your society represents to you and let's see if:
The 'Sheffield Real Ale Society' http://realale.union.shef.ac.uk/ is that much different in what they are saying, doing and loving, to say, the University of Bristol's Real Ale Society ?? http://www.ubu.org.uk/societies/bristol-real-ale
I am intrigued and keen to learn about people's passion and dedication to all things Society and look forward to any up and coming comments that may enlighten me more.
