University students off to Commonwealth Games

University students off to Commonwealth Games

March 2006

Two University of Gloucestershire students left for Melbourne this week in preparation for the Commonwealth Games. Lorraine Shaw and Zoë Derham, both sports students studying at the Oxstalls Campus, will be competing for Team England in the hammer event.

Lorraine, a first year Coaching and Sports Development Foundation degree student is currently the reigning Commonwealth Champion after clinching Gold at the Manchester Games in 2002 with a throw of 66.83metres. For Lorraine, this will be her final games. Zoë, a second year Sports Education degree student and Lorraine’s protégé is rapidly stepping into her coach’s shoes as England’s top athlete in the sport. She qualified for the games with a personal best of 65.48 metres.

Both students are on the University’s Open Sports Scholarship programme, which offers them the support they need to mix their sporting and academic commitments. They have benefited from having funding to help with their training and competition expenses as well as being provided with sport science support from academic staff within the faculty. Extra academic support is also offered to assist the athletes with the work that they will miss whilst away.

Lorraine and Zoë are committed to university sport and will both be competing for the University in the BUSA Championships in April. Competition starts for Lorraine and Zoë on the 20th March, so keep an eye out for them on the television.

Talking about Student Radio Coming to UOG

March 1, 2006 1 comment

  seems interesting Student Radio – i thought however BBC Radio Gloucestershire had been broadcasting from the Pittville Campus for a while maybe they might share or maybe use the BBC Radio Gloucestershire licence. the broadcasts from BBC Radio Gloucestershire went county wide although any student radio station will have to be limited to a smaller area (at the start likely that campus wide but later well approximately 10 miles if based on my campus although 15 miles whould be a sufficent distance to cater all University of Gloucestershire campuses and also if Gloscat wanted to get involved could. Gloscat and University of Gloucestershire (formerly Cheltenham College of HE) have been joined previously in mergers.

Student Radio Coming to UOG
Student Radio Coming to UOG

There will be a University wide student meeting to discuss a brand new Student radio station starting at Pittville this year on Thursday the 2nd March.

 

Everyone is welcome to attend although specifically students that are interested in joining the station when it starts in one of the key areas below. The meeting will be informal to discuss progress made so far and any questions or ideas you would like to put forward.

  • News
  • Entertainment
  • Music
  • Presenting
  • Promotion/advertising
  • Technical Operation (studio and on location equipment)
  • IT Web design
  • Management

It would be really useful if before the meeting you could email your questions to mfinney@glos.ac.uk,

The meeting will start at 5:30pm in TB024 at Pittville campus (Bottom of tower block)
