UAS Recruiting

Back in the 90's I was a QFI on Yorkshire UAS and was envolved in recruiting at the Freshers Fair at Sheffield Poly - I think they call it something grand like Uni of Hallam now, but it still looks like a Poly! Anyway, the right-on SU President refused to let us set up our stall unless we hung a big banner behind us which she had prepared specially for us earlier. It said "This Organisation is not an equal opportunies employer!!" due to the military stance on homosexuals at the time.

By the end of the afternoon the Rugby Club, the Hockey club, the Football club (male and female!), the Fencing society, sub-aqua club and the Chess Club (!!!??) had all come over to ask where we got the banner and 'could they have one?'. we sent them all off to ask the SU President who got decidedly grumpy and almost burned her kaftan in discust!!

How we laughed!
