Freshers Week 2015
We were asked by GMP to add extra shifts to help the new students receive a warm, friendly welcome and ensure they have a safe Freshers Week.

Thanks to the Angels that were able to commit & be part of the Freshers Team working Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.. we were shattered!
