NULC do 'something funny for money'

If there's one thing that NULC staff and students like to do its ‘something funny for money’ in aid of Comic Relief.  NULC was a hub of activity on Friday 18 March with fancy dress, bake sales, waxing and the most talked about event of the day, the NULC FlashMob.

Dance Lecturer Faye Matthews rounded up her troupes which included students, staff and even a member of the senior management team.  Then headed to the new Sainsbury’s store in Newcastle-under-Lyme, where they wowed the crowds and are now rapidly becoming an online phenomenon.

Other activities taking place throughout the day included a fancy dress competition which resulted in a monkey and pirates roaming the corridors!  A yummy bake sale organised by Early Years students, Fun Run by Sports Performance and Excellence students, leg waxing in the Transform Salon.  As well as various fund raising efforts by Learner Services, Starbucks staff and the Students’ Union.

The money is still being counted but so far NULC have managed to raise over £500.00, which is a fantastic amount.  Thank you to everyone who took part and did ‘something funny for money’.

NULC student spruces up the campus

During February half term Level 2 Painting and Decorating student Mark McDermott faced the challenge of helping to spruce up Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC).

Mark was lucky enough to gain a placement with BAM’s painting sub-contractor, H R Harvey Decorators, through his Level 2 Painting and Decorating course at NULC.  Mark worked throughout the campus on maintenance decorating work including the painting of walls, repairing cracks and any damage to the walls.

Head of Estates and Facilities Martin Bostock and Team Leader in Construction Crafts Mark Turner arranged the placement.
