Blog Updates On Twitter

If you are on twitter and would like to follow blog updates there, now you can!

We just setup an EYC twitter feed so anytime a new entry is posted on the blog, it will automatically be linked to via twitter. This is great if you're using a mobile device like a Blackberry or iPhone because it'll automatically update you when new content is available.

If you'd like to follow us on twitter, you can do so by clicking the "Follow Me On Twitter" link on the sidebar or this this link.

Happy tweeting!

Reminder: Membership Fees Due!

Just a quick reminder...

If you haven't paid your membership fee yet, don't forget to do so. Any member using the EYC's services must pay to be a member and many students have yet to submit their payment to the centre.

Please contact Sandy or any staff to do so and get the money in asap please!
