2012 Activity Plan/University outreach events

Description

Includes Freshers Fair stalls, Campus Ambassador training events, and other activity with staff & students, including associated volunteer expenses. This year we have trialled a presence at fresher fairs with good results. We need to scale this idea so that we could have a presence at most of the major UK universities next year. At Bristol we also paid for a Wikipedian in residence to investigate the opportunities for academic partnership. We would repeat this elsewhere if we could find another leading educational institution who was willing to champion our cause by use of Campus Ambassadors (or similar.)
