Freshers' Fayre this year a much subdued event on the part of the Library. We're still not back in the tent but trying a table near an exit sort of on the way to the main tents.

But with no one taking on overall coordination and the poor foot soldiers who've done such great work in past years being under appreciated and not really allowed the time to do anything this year, we have no over arching theme or 'draw' and so it's much harder to enthuse about selling ourselves to the students. What with teaching and feeling so under the weather I just about managed an hour to show willing, but I could tell my heart wasn't in it.

Seems a shame. Doesn't take much to get me going - a pirate or Dalek or dead body or two. Past years have been great fun. Perhaps a 'fallow' year will do us good and we come back with a bang next year. Or perhaps our new Head will continue to 'under appreciate' the staff who work hard on designs and energy for the day.
