Hi there all you lovely BISC Blog Readers
This is short blog just to inform you about the changes taking place at BISC. Well most of you know that Hannah is leaving her post a coordinator at the end of July. Her successor is Jacqueline who begins on 1 July spending her first month with Hannah on a handover/takeover exercise. Also and for the first time a BISC a new part time coordinator will be working at BISC. This is Ruth Mo (nee Hutty), who got married to Mo on 27th June!
Jacqueline is the South African lady some of you may know already as she worked as a volunteer with BISC from November until February. She is a talented graphic designer and is married to Charl a lecturer in chemistry at Bristol University.
Ruth studied Russian at Bristol University, and was part of the volunteer BISC Team two or three years ago. From what I know Ruth is a talented gardener, and you may have seen her from time to time in the garden wearing her green wellies.
Xiaomei who you know as May is leaving the BISC team after her year as a volunteer. I am very happy to announce that she is remaining in Bristol for the next three years where she is studying for her PhD. Personally I found May a remarkable colleague to work with. She is never flustered, and in the heat of the kitchen would put on a big smile and a softly spoken voice and calmed everyone down.
John, I am happy to say (because I am John) is remaining at BISC. He is a talented toilet cleaner and proof reader. I am still available for proof reading your essays and assignments over the summer period and can be contacted at BISC. Ann is also staying and I think she has done a superb job with the local link scheme. However, Elvyn is moving on from BISC to pursue different activities, so we shall miss his jazz walks and walking tours of Bristol.
So, the new academic year has various changes in store, but I cannot sign off without saying what a big contribution Hannah has had on the progression of BISC during the past seven years. She has moved the vision of BISC forward, and the mantle is now passed to Jacqueline and the new BISC team.
This is Blogmaster John signing off now, but perhaps not for the last time. Wherever you go, whoever you meet, may your god go with you.
Lots of BISC love
From Hannah, Xiaomei, Ann, Josh, John & Elvyn
