Don’t Worry - Be HAPPY

Just a small shout from the newly formed HAPPY group. We are a
gay transgendered, bisexual and straight friendly group that have
been quietly forming since September.
We are based at Broomfield’s site at Derby College, and have big
plans for the future! We currently meet on a Wednesday lunch time
in the SU, but the management team also get together through the
week, working hard to build up the foundations of a group that we
hope will be here for a long time after we’ve moved on. We have
plans for trips, support sessions, but mostly socialising and fun!
The door is open to anyone who is gay friendly, and wants to join in
with all the fun (or all the hard work of course, lol).
Keep your eyes out for our posters, events and a questionnaire that we soon hope to be circulating. We
are also planning to set up an email account for the group so that you will be able to contact us in the
near future.
We’ve also had our first trip to the ice skating rink that was in Derby over Xmas. Much fun and many
bruises were had by all!
Thanx to everyone who has supported us so far, and let’s all look forward to an absolutely great year!
Sarah Monie, Chair person for HAPPY

Congratulations to the Masons Place students
and staff that raised a fantastic £860 for Cancer

The students and staff battled it out during the

24 hour pool competition, for the title of “The
Champions”! The scores were neck and neck
until the bitter end…until the early hours of
Sunday morning when the staff took the title!
Well done to all the students and staff for being

Going Green Tips
Don’t leave appliances on standby
People leaving appliances on standby waste almost a billion pounds of electricity in the UK every year.
Only boil as much water as you need

If we all did this we’d save enough electricity to power two thirds of street lighting in the UK.
Reduce, reuse & recycle

Find out where your closest recycling point is and make a habit of using it. Why not try Sainsburys (Kingsway)?
Stop using the car

That means walking, cycling or taking the bus whenever you are able to. The college shuttle bus is totally free
so why not take advantage of it?
o
Wash your laundry at 30 C
o
Washing at 30 C rather than normal temperatures means that you use 40% less electricity.
Cut down on those steaks!

If people ate less meat and more vegetables we could reduce C02 emissions dramatically.
o
Turn your thermostat down by 10 C
This could cut your heating bills by up to 10% and save you around £40 per year.
Recycle your plastic bags

While you’re in the supermarket take a look at the stacks of plastic carrier bags at the checkout and imagine
the the number of checkouts in the average supermarket, the number of supermarkets in the country and the
number of shopping days per year!
Don’t run the tap whilst brushing

You can waste up to 4.5 litres of water if you leave the tap running while brushing your teeth - instead, use a
glass of water for rinsing, or short bursts from the tap, and you’ll only need a fraction of this amount.
Share books
If you’re a bookworm, instead of buying new books, start a book-sharing club with friends. Sharing books is
good for resources, money and socialising! Ask the SU for advice on setting up a book-sharing society.
For more green tips visit www.foe.co.uk or to calculate your carbon footprint visit www.myfootprint.org.
We are currently looking for new UV’s to join our expanding band of merry students, who help out and run the

there leaflets for customers to take away & read explaining more about Superfoods, nutrients etc.
