Just to re-iterate Interior you will need to have everything packed down on the Tuesday 29th June as the Retreat will re-open at 10am on the 30th.

Hello

Just to update you from meeting, DEC will not charge you for the printing of your names that go accross the top of your boards.

However there may be cost involved in printing of your images as post below.

Thanks
Nicky

I was asked to remind you that there will be some costs involved for printing on the more expensive high gloss paper when printing you images for your stand at the festival.

Richard Frame in DEC will be able to advise.

Board Painting

To clarify you will not need to buy the paint, we will will do this and provide this for you.

Students will need to paint their boards I suggest that only a few of you say 4 / 5 do this at a time as we have to put tarpaulin down to make sure we don’t get paint everywhere.

Please can you make sure you clean your brushes after use and let Brian know when you are finished. We can not keep replacing brushes that are ruined because they have not been cleaned.

Boards can be painted next week Tuesday – Thursday 9am – 8pm Brian Wright is the contact for painting of boards.

Thanks
Nicky

Hi

Just to let you know that for PD and Interior Design Students we have had to hire tables from an external company to use during the festival.

PD & Interior Design students will therefore get one 30" Square table each to use during the festival.

I have a sample of the table in my office P311 if you would like to come and have a look.

The rest of you will be able to use the tables that are available in the rooms that you will be using. We'll also discuss this at our next student rep meeting.

Thanks Nicky

P.S I now work in Talbot on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so if that is the best time to catch me in P311 if you have any queries.

If you have any business contacts that you would like to invite to FoDI please could you email them to Helen Stickland hstickland@bournemouth.ac.uk. However could you please gather your business contacts for your course/coursemates in one document rather than send through contacts individually.
