Summer savings, summer prizes

6 August 2014

Children playingStephen DixonHello everyone,

I think it's fair to say that summer is now fully upon us, and I thought it was a good time to run through some of the benefits available to you this year.  There’s plenty on offer - especially if you're planning a “staycation”.

You could head back to Nottingham where your alumni membership and venture card offers you plenty of discounts including reduced admission at the City of Caves, the Galleries of Justice and other great places, plus you can visit the Nottingham Riviera which is back this year and definitely worth checking out.

There are also plenty of nationwide benefits including great rates on holiday accommodation through our partnership with Cottages4You and Hoseasons, and on national visitor attractions including Alton Towers. Take a look and see what's available.

And don’t forget to ask for your venture card which opens up more discounts for our alumni.

Whilst you're in a money saving mood, how does £100 of Amazon vouchers grab you? Well that's what we have available for one lucky alumnus this summer. All you have to do is take part in our communications survey to let us know what you think about how the Alumni Association keeps in contact with you. It only takes a couple of minutes and then that shopping spree on Amazon COULD be yours!

As the weather has been so good lately we're feeling VERY generous, so let's throw some more money in the pot - this time for the class of 2014. Register with Venture, the alumni online community, and we'll throw in the chance to win £50 of Amazon vouchers. It’s also the gateway to our online jobs board. It's really easy to join so register now for a chance to win!

Good luck, and have a great summer.

Stephen
