'ULU is proud to announce it’s very first event of the year. As cuts will be hitting us all we need to be thinking about what education is for, how it should be funded, how we prevent cuts and what an ideal education system would look like.
But to do all this we need you guys with new ideas. Please bring as many people as you can to prepare yourselves for the year ahead.'
