Today was spent welcoming newcomers to University Centre Peterborough at the Fresher’s Fayre. A great activity for any tourism business and getting their deals and offers in front of students just joining for their first year. Some living in Peterborough and others living further afield. Plenty of near and far businesses were on display… so here’s to name just a few: Del Monte, Showcase Cinemas Peterborough, Sphere RHSM, Trapp’d Escape Rooms, Honeybuns.co.uk cakes (very yummy), Peterborough Greyhound Stadium, Peterborough Touch Rugby, The Solstice, Planet Ice, Peterborough Rugby Club, the Gym, Vivacity, Peterborough Cathedral, the Film Society, Tuk-in foods….

It was an interesting day with an array of students of different ages (very surprisingly not all 19 year olds) and what they are looking forward to studying: a mixture of young and mature students for English Literature, lots of young girls studying Business Management, a lad studying Archeology, 3 lovely young ladies studying Crime and Investigation Studies (CSI), young students and business owners for psychosocial studies. We even had a raffle to win a project book and the winner was…. MEL RAYNER… your prize is with Matthew.

So we wish them all luck in their first years and wish them well to their end graduation in another 2 years.
