Engineering Corridor low cost refurbishment – Invitation
The refurbishment of the engineering corridor is now complete and we will begin, during week commencing 18 December, the movement of staff and students from the Valeview building. For any member of staff who would like to have a quick look at the refurbished accommodation all rooms will be open on Tuesday 19 December between 10.00 am and noon, and again between 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm. The new area will serve as a main teaching area for Arts, Languages and Social Sciences and will eventually house the Drama, Music and Nurseries areas when Phase 1 of the new building project is complete and A,L&SS move into the new premises.
Snow Far, Snow Good
Congratulations to Roger McKillop of the Sports Studies Section who recently passed his Snow Board Instructors Award. This qualification will allow flexibility and choice in delivery of the Outdoor Pursuits programme. Roger’s success was achieved after many hours of training, numerous bruises and a desire to look cool in the “half pipe”.
Congratulations to Emma Aeppli MSc
The SIRCC team at Langside is delighted that Emma completed her MSc in Adult and Continuing Education in November. Well done, Emma, we’re proud of you!
Christmas Cracker groans!!
a) Why did the man get the sack from the orange juice factory?
b)What’s ET short for?
c)What did the grape say when the elephant stepped on it?
(Answers on second page)
Christmas jokes for the kids (big and small)

Fairy Godmother
Why was that other member of the Food Studies Section, Anne Dobson (aka The Craft Wifie) not in evidence at the social event of the college calendar, the Christmas Fayre*, I hear you ask? The reason for her absence was a previous engagement in China, Nanjing, no less!
Anne was ably assisting her husband, Johnny, a captain in the Merchant Navy, to name a container vessel being launched from the Chinese port. The vessel belongs to the Bremen based Alpha Ship Company with whom her husband is employed in a key position. Anne was asked to be the ‘Godmother’ of the ship. This reflects the high esteem in which her husband is held.
The vessel to be named M.V. El Gordo, is the length of one and a half football pitches and will carry,
‘a cargo of Tyne coal
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware and cheap tin trays.’ (apologies to John Masefield), in other words any Chinese goods being exported. Anne will return to her other more mundane life on Monday 18 December and no doubt will regale her peers with tales of her oriental travels ......
*The College raised £700 and still counting and proceeds will go to the coronary care unit at the Western Infirmary. Thanks to all who supported this.
Answers to Christmas Cracker groans:
a) Because he couldn’t concentrate
b) Because he’s only got little legs
c) Nothing. It just let out a little wine.
Answer to Christmas joke for the kids:
You let me down, you let the school down but most of all -------- you let yourself down.
