Hello!

A warm welcome to Glasgow for all the Freshers and a warm welcome back to everyone else.
As you have expressed an interest in the GU Amnesty International group this email is just to let you know that our first meeting will be:

Tuesday the 21st at 5 o’clock in Committee room 1 at the top of the QMU (3rd floor).

Committee room 1 is at the very top of the building and can be accessed either by taking the lift to the top floor or the stair case on the left hand side of the Food Factory, turning left, going through the double doors then committee room 1 is the first room on the right, (don’t worry, a few of us will be lingering downstairs to show you were to go)

The meeting will be an introduction to what we do, what we have done and what we plan to do in the coming year with pretty pictures . There will also be a chance to partake in our ongoing Burma campaign and ask any burning questions you might have, but most importantly there will be cake & biscuits. Ding!

Immediately after the meeting at 6 o’clock we have our first social in Curlers Rest on Byres road (next to Hillhead underground station). We can all head down straight after the meeting, the idea to just generally be social and use it as yet another chance to chat to Amnesty members new and old!

If you can’t make it this Tuesday then please come along next Tuesday or any Tuesday thereafter, meetings are always Tuesdays, 5pm, committee room 1, QMU. Also check out all our online networking at:

Best wishes,
The GU Amnesty International Fresher’s team and committee.
