BG &YO U

Welcome to the fourth edition of BG & You, your guide to what’s happening at Bishop Grosseteste University College Lincoln. After a fairly quiet Summer break (oh, you know, just hosting the Olympic torch for a night, enjoying a grand graduation - the usual!) BG is back with a bang! The campus has seen some amazing changes over the past few months, with our library extension on course for a grand opening in September and the Students’ Union now as bright and inspiring as the people it represents. But arguably the biggest development is the launch of The Venue - Lincoln's newest cinema, right here on campus. Read on for more details of films and showing times throughout the rest of the year. Perhaps you prefer your activities more...well, active? Then take a look at our sports facilities and fitness class timetable, or come to campus and support our many teams who have qualified this year for the British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) tournaments. Hopefully you’ll find this guide useful and informative. And don’t forget to keep an eye out for the next edition in January 2013, by which time our application for full University status will have come through and we will hopefully have become Bishop Grosseteste University! 3 September 2012

Lincoln's Newest Cinema Launched At BG!

Fully open to the public and with a great variety of films throughout the year, we're sure you'll want to come and take a look.

The Venue is currently the only cinema in uphill Lincoln and aims to cater for most tastes. A full cinema programme has been introduced, beginning with a showing of 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' on 5th September.

Women’s Football at BG

For the first time, 2012 saw the Bishop Grosseteste Women’s Football Team being placed in BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sports) - league 3A. The girls were excited at the prospect of challenging other Universities who have always been in BUCS. The league had the likes of Nottingham Trent University (2nd and 3rd), Coventry 1st, Warwick 2nd, Staffordshire University 1st, Aston University 1st, University of Derby 1st and University of Derby (Buxton) 1st. It was a tough challenge ahead.

Our first game was away at the University of Warwick. The girls were all nervous going into the game due to it being the first Women’s Football BUCS game for Bishop Grosseteste University College. It turned out to be a great day, winning 11-1. The girls were buzzing and carried on the momentum throughout the season in which they became BUCS women’s champions, going unbeaten all season in the league!

The Olympics may have come and gone now, but you may not be aware that here at BG, we played our own small part in the occasion. As the Olympic flame made its way through the streets of Lincoln during the torch parade, feverish prepeartions were being made to prepare for its overnight stay with us. The flame was kept under high security on our campus where 200 staff and around 40 vehicles spent the night before setting off to Nottingham the following day. Senior management at the university college heard last year that they had successfully bid to host the Olympic Torch relay team, but staff and students at BG weren't told until the day before it was due to arrive. Such was the security surrounding the overnight stay that no-one from the university college was told exactly where on campus the Olympic flame was kept. "This is a real coup for BG and we were delighted to be chosen by LOCOG to accommodate the torch relay team during the Lincoln leg," said Rob Jones, Director of BG Enterprise. "A number of high-profile venues in the area put in bids to host the relay and it's another feather in our cap in our 150th anniversary year that we were chosen as the host venue." 28 BG’s Olympic Role

2 Advent DEC

We would like to extend an invitation to you to join us at our annual Advent Carol Service in Lincoln Cathedral.

As a University College which continues to express and explore its Church foundation, this service gives us an opportunity to mark the beginning of the Church’s season of Advent with readings, prayer and song. This event is a highlight of the BG year which allows friends and past students of the University College to join with those of us who still study and work here. As in past years, a significant number of our own students will be contributing to the service in a variety of ways as we interweave traditional bible texts with modern literature, and music with drama, in the presentation of this year’s Advent theme. 3pm start.

Contact [email protected] for more details and tickets.

Open to all 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am - 2pm on weekends, our coffee shop serves a range of coffees, speciality teas, home-made cakes, panini, and healthy lunch options. 32 December 2012

These essential fundamental movement skills should be practiced and mastered before sport-specific skills are introduced as they provide the base for future all round development in most sports. Qualified multi-skill coaches are available to run after school multi-skill sessions in local primary schools.

“Here at BG, from the most senior staff to the newest of students, we are all really excited when an opportunity comes along to work with the community that surrounds us. The musicals society has always been pleased to welcome the community in to see our annual shows but this year we are going one step further and will be involving the community in our show. In March 2013, the society will be putting on a production of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and the children’s chorus that is integral to the show will be a group from St Hugh’s Catholic Primary School. They will be led by their teacher and choirmaster, Daniel Ballard; himself an ex-BG student, he had this to say on the project:

‘BG has played a large part in my life and I am very excited at the prospect of working so closely with students from BG to put on this classic show. Working with the students is going to be fabulous opportunity for our children, and to see the students from BG applying all they have learnt on their courses with our children will be equally as exciting. I can’t wait to get started!’

As soon as the society gets going fully in Performance September, students from BG will begin to work closely with the pupils and staff at 13 Week St Hugh’s Catholic Primary School in the production of the show.
