Here at HCX we had an amazing time during Freshers’ Week! Here’s a quick round up of what us girls got up to!
We teamed up in pairs and went around flyering on campus, from the forum to the halls telling girls what we did and about HCX and trying to get as many of them to come to our social on the Friday. It was great opportunity to get our name out there, especially in our lovely new committee polos and to meet the new girls on committee.
We also had a portable nail bar! Fran and Marina were doing free manicures in the forum, which attracted a lot of attention from girls. Who could say no to getting their nails done for free?! This also gave us the opportunity to talk to girls about HCX and what we do, which was great as not many freshers had heard of us before!
We then had our first social on the Friday at Hole in the Wall and then went onto Timepiece, it was lovely to meet so many new girls who were interested in what we do and to give them a taste of what our socials will be like this year!
We then had a fantastic response at the Freshers Fair, so many girls signed up and we can’t wait to get to know our new team better! Each girl was given a goody bag which included a £5 voucher from Purity Boutique Spa, a lanyard, a lipstick from Glossybox, a teapigs teabag, a free coffee voucher from Ruby Burgers, a pen and leaflets from Breast Cancer Care (50p per sign up went to this charity too), a discount code from My Flash Trash, an Arena card and samples from the Body Shop with a voucher. Thank you to all of the companies that donated items to our goody bags- they were incredible.
We also had a Ruby Burgers competition going on Facebook throughout the week, which had a great response. Congratulations to Georgina Bowie who won the meal for 2 worth £40!
Thanks to all the girls who signed up and all those who helped out! Lets hope we can be even more successful and make it the best year yet for HCX! We can’t wait to see what this year will bring with lots more events, brand partnerships and of course amazing articles!
