Welcome to our July open meeting on 27 July, 5pm

Dear CNU friends and supporters,

we hope you have a great summer and would like to invite you to bring some sunshine/ positive energy to our July open meeting tomorrow and perhaps join us for a drink in the Uni Arms after the meeting.

Date: 27 July 2017
Time: 5-6.30pm
Place: The Diamond, Workroom 1

We got loads of project news and love to welcome new people and new ideas.
Please find quick news and agenda at the end of this email.

As it is summer, our excellent student society coordinators are mostly away, but we hope some students that are still around in Sheffield and can make it tomorrow.

For anybody who registered newly and haven't been at a meeting before, don't worry, we give you an introduction and really love to see new people.

Our Co-Chair Christian presented about CNU at the Energy2050 symposium on Monday and perhaps some of the students and staff got interested and will join us? It was really great to see all the research and innovation happening there and we would love to get it implemented around campus. Please come around with your proposals!

News and meeting agenda below.

We hope you have a great Wednesday and see you tomorrow!
Your lovely CNU coordinators
