Trading Forum this Wednesday
Thursday 08 Nov 2007
This Wednesday lunchtime will see the first Trading Forum of the year, which is your opportunity to have a moan and make some suggestions about the way we run our bars and catering outlets. It will be run in the Union Bar between 12:00 and 13:00 and we will be providing sandwiches and snacks.
First off, you should know a little about our trading outlets which include our bars, entertainments program and catering outlets. In South Kensington we have The Union Bar, Da Vinci’s and dBs, as well as the Reynolds Bar at Charing Cross Hospital. Our catering outlets in South Kensington are located in dBs and DaVinci’s and serve hot and cold food between 8:30 am until 9:00 pm. Our Entertainments program includes Freshers' Week, Sin City on a Wednesday, Too Posh to Wash, Bar FTSE and our end of term carnivals. They are operated for the benefit of the students, however we can only solve problems if we know they exist, and we rely on our customers, i.e. you, to tell us where we are going wrong and how we can improve.
Here are some questions to ask yourself…
- Are you missing Lowenbrau? Come and find out why it left the Union this summer.
- Have you been working behind the bar for years and think you understand what our students want? Come along and share your wisdom.
- Does the queue for the bar make you want to shoot yourself in the face?
- Is the bar missing your favourite real ale?
- Do you like the lunchtime offer? Is the range extensive enough?
- Would you like to see table service introduced?
- What would you like us to sell? How much would you pay for it?
- Did you enjoy Freshers’ Week?
- Are you wishing we provided more entertainments for the non-drinkers?
- Do you want to see entertainments run on a Saturday night?
- What would you like to see at the Christmas Carnival?
You can also come along and find out more about the venue; are you happy with the new awning in the Quad?
This is your chance to get your questions answered by the people who make the decisions. So come along if you want to make a change in your Union and get some free food while you’re at it.
