Happy New Year
2 January 2013
Happy New Year to you all!
I hope you had a happy and peaceful Yuletide and that heading back to work is not too much of an ordeal.
I had to work through some of it including Jan 1st, but it was actually quite refreshing to go to bed at 8 pm on New Year's Eve and wake up at 3 am and drive to work down a quiet M1 - if a little bit boring!
No doubt some of you made New Year's resolutions. According to the list of top ten I was given at work on New Year's eve, this year we're not looking at giving up bad habits as a nation so much as looking at what we WILL do.
Perhaps that's not a bad way to go - keeping everything positive - so let's see if we can help you a little....
How about promising yourself a little break in a gorgeous country cottage? If you do, click here where there's a 10% discount for alumni.
If you are heading down the 'I need to get fit' route, well, it's a great goal that we could ALL use, myself included, so we've organised a discount on some gym memberships for you. Still organising the pricing on that one but as if by magic, a link will appear HERE when it's sorted.
Remember to check out all the other benefits available to you as alumni too.
Whatever you decide to do more of, or less of in 2013, PLEASE make a special resolution to stay in touch with NTU.
We know you lead busy lives but there's always ways to stay in touch with your university. Sometimes you can help us, with small donations, with offering help and guidance to students - and sometimes we can help you, with the discounts mentioned or with offering our help and advice.
We can ALWAYS help you to remember how great university life was and how amazing it is for the current undergraduates. Don't lose touch with such an important part of your life!
Wishing you all the very best for 2013 - who knows what it will hold - but let's hope it leads to bigger and better things for us all.
