[Sres-postdocs] Open Day thanks!

[Peter Kanowski]

Dear SRES people

Thanks to all who helped with Saturday's Open Day, both in the 
preparation and on the day.

Particular thanks to:
-  Geoff for overall coordination, and Clive, Debbie & Mayumi for 
preparation of the new Factsheets (now adopted across CoS) and 
Handbooks - on display/ for your collections at SRES reception;
- staff and Honours & undergrad students who staffed our stand and 
the Forestry building from 9-4; it was a very effective presence.

CoS Marketing staff will be at SRES for m-tea on Wednesday ahead of a 
meeting about marketing our programs, so any feedback to Geoff, 
Clive, Debbie or me before then would be helpful. My impression was 
that the effort was very effective; Geoff and I both had the 
impression that there was a higher level of interest than last year, 
and that most inquiries were serious. There was good interest in all 
SRES degrees. One glitch that became apparent is that there were no 
SRES or EMS staff closely associated with the BGOS degree to answer 
queries in Mike Roderick's absence [he could be there for only half 
the day].

Thanks to all who helped for representing SRES so well; hopefully the 
efforts will be rewarded by increased enrolments in our degrees and 
courses, assisting us to meet our undergraduate load targets.

Peter
