With Freshers' Weeks happening all over the UK and a couple of new SFT groups popping up, we thought it would be nice to bring you some news about what SFT groups get up to. So here's a report from Aaron at the Durham University Tibet Society that he sent us over the summer holiday...

Durham \'Lick for Tibet\' May 2007In preparation for the founding of Durham University Tibet Society 2007, the following year has been a great success in the laying of foundations. In January we coordinated with the People & Planet Society to raise awareness and held ''Night for Tibet''. Around 40 people attended and were enthusiastic to learn, a presentation summarising the Tibet issue was followed by a showing of 'The Forbidden Team' film. Throughout the year we have vigorously leafleted the Durham area and created new contacts and support in the process, particularly within the university.

Our big event to finish term before the Durham \'Night for Tibet\' January 2007summer break was titled 'Lick for Tibet', where lollipops enticed 18 students and staff in Stockton to sign up for Durham University Tibet Society, despite being one of the quietest days on campus due to exams. This paves the way for our second 'Lick for Tibet' event to be held at the Durham Freshers Fair in October.

If you've got any news about your group that you'd like to see posted up here, please send it to students@sftuk.org
