As I’m sure Herald readers will be aware, on Wednesday 10th December self-professed Saviour of Radio 1, Chris Moyles visited the University of Plymouth Students’ Union along with the rest of the Breakfast Show team to host a special evening of Christmas karaoke. This exclusive event was attended by 400 lucky students and local residents who managed to get hold of a free ticket. Overall, it was a great evening of rubbish singing, traditional for an evening of Karaoke – including a particularly bad rendition of “I Wish it could be Christmas every day!” from myself and colleagues!
It was a great showcase for the city of Plymouth and indeed the University, with pictures of the city and event being viewed online by Radio 1 listeners all over the UK. It also was another great opportunity for us to engage with local people. The event was open to both students and the public, and was enjoyed by all.
If you were there and want to see pictures from the event, please see the upsu website (www.upsu.com/chrismoyles)
At the same time, the building played host to a Mutley and Greenbank Christmas Quiz which was written and hosted by the PCSOs and Devon and Cornwall Constabulary. Here, awards were also given out to community groups and volunteers who have shown commitment to bringing down crime and the fear of crime in the city. Students from the University of Plymouth received an award for their work during the Mutley and Greenbank festival.
This is the last blog of the year from me so Seasonal Greetings to you all on behalf of upsu, and I wish you a happy, successful and peaceful 2009.
