Hello all,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Cat Smith and I am your NEC Observer from the North West region. Thank you to those of you who elected me at the last regional conference, I will endeavour to fulfil my promises to you, including updating this blog.

A little about me: I am currently the full time Women's Officer at Lancaster University Students' Union. This means that I am easily contactable; please visit here for my contact details, there's also a little bit more about who I am. I hope that you will feel able to ask me any questions, big or small, about the meetings.

The first meeting is 3rd August, next Thursday. I will blog as soon as I can after the meeting but I will be going to the National Postgraduate Committee Conference that weekend so it will have to be early the next week.

Cat
