beachparty

You may remember the beach party back in June, which I waxed lyrical about for a few days and then nothing. I took around 170 photos over the two days (a total of 130MB) and still haven’t really got around to sorting them.

Anyway, the student union were given copies of my photos (since I was effectively their photographer) and the good news is that three of them have already been used in union propaganda publicity material, in the form of a leaflet given out to prospective students introducing the union and what it does. Surprisingly enough, student unions are somewhat more than a cheap source of alcohol.

You can have a look at scaled-down versions of the originals. Incidentally those were taken quite late in the day when the sun finally came out.

I’m only able to post a few photos today. I have taken rather more (around 70 to be precise) but they’re not on this computer yet – I’ll probably upload a few at the weekend.

Today we had some schoolchildren and the university nursery use the beach, along with Bradford’s bactive campaign, who roped myself and other union members into “combat aerobics”. After that and then having to rake the sand my body is aching all over. Going out and then only having 6 hours sleep last night didn’t exactly help either…

On the plus side, I got to meet Bradford’s Lord Mayor, who’s actually a really nice guy. And despite all the pain, I did have a thoroughly enjoyable day – roll on Friday!
