Hi all,

There will be a Pancake Party on Wednesday the 9^th March. We will all meet in the RSS room at 5pm then will proceed to my flat to make and eat lots of pancakes. All you have to bring are the pancake fillings of your choice and any drinks you want.

This is to celebrate the tradition of pancake day on the 8^th March. I am not here on the 8^th so the event will actually be a post-pancake day party! If you can send me an email if you are interested in attending so I can get a rough idea of numbers, that would be great,

Thanks

Dorn

Also Fiona Edgar would like some help with a project she is working on. She needs to find some male students aged 16-18 to take part – I have put the details below – if you know of anyone who is interested there is a £30 gift voucher in it for them. Please see below for more details.

Thanks,

The project is looking at how young men and women use alcohol in their transitions to adulthood.

For this, we have been recruiting males and females aged 16 - 18 and 25 - 30 to take part in focus groups about their experiences of drinking alcohol. We are also recruiting people from a range of socio-economic groups.

At the moment, we are looking specifically for male students/pupils aged 16-18 to take part in a focus group.

I realise that members of the RSS will not be in this age range themselves! I wondered, though, if you could send it out to the mailing list incase people know of any younger relatives/friends/students etc etc that might be interested in taking part. We have been granted ethical approval by a NHS Research Ethics Committee.

The date for the focus group for male students/pupils aged 16-18 is:

Thursday 24th Feb 2011

6pm - 8pm

It will take place at a venue in Glasgow city centre. If people need a taxi home afterwards, we can arrange that for them. Each participant will receive £30 giftcard for H&M.

For more information, or for anyone interested in taking part, if they email me at Fiona.Edgar@glasgow.gov.uk then I will send them out some more information.

Hope this all sounds ok.

Thanks very much,

Fiona
