NULC do 'something funny for money'
If there's one thing that NULC staff and students like to do its ‘something funny for money’ in aid of Comic Relief. NULC was a hub of activity on Friday 18 March with fancy dress, bake sales, waxing and the most talked about event of the day, the NULC FlashMob.
Dance Lecturer Faye Matthews rounded up her troupes which included students, staff and even a member of the senior management team. Then headed to the new Sainsbury’s store in Newcastle-under-Lyme , where they wowed the crowds and are now rapidly becoming an online phenomenon.
Other activities taking place throughout the day included a fancy dress competition which resulted in a monkey and pirates roaming the corridors! A yummy bake sale organised by Early Years students, Fun Run by Sports Performance and Excellence students, leg waxing in the Transform Salon. As well as various fund raising efforts by Learner Services, Starbucks staff and the Students’ Union.
The money is still being counted but so far NULC have managed to raise over £500.00, which is a fantastic amount. Thank you to everyone who took part and did ‘something funny for money’.

Local entrepreneur lends a helping hand
A local entrepreneur delivered talks to budding Business students from ICT courses to Accounts and Travel and Tourism.
Tony was also a student at the College and spoke about how the staff and learning environment helped him to achieve his successful career in Business.
Tony Altham, proprietor of AdGifts Online and other thriving business came to NULC to inform students on his networking skills and knowledge. He talked about how correct networking can create good business prospects, whether they are used in meeting prospective clients, or closing a deal.
Here’s what a couple of our students had to say:
“In this session I have learnt how to address possible customers and how to present myself to other aswell as the correct way to shake hands with clients”
Gareth Moores
"I found that Tony’s presentation was very informative. I learnt how to go about making first impressions, to be open when making new contacts and that there are a lot of opportunities on offer if you look in the right places”
