M to the C to the ers!
Ok, admittedly that may be taking the whole nickname thing a
bit too far. But anyway, guess what…

| The opening of the Oxford School of Art (www.brookes.ac.uk) |
It’s our birthday today! If you remember back to our very
first blog post we mentioned that 2015 is both the 800th anniversary
of the sealing of the Magna Carta and the 150th anniversary of the
opening of what is now Oxford Brookes University, and it’s exactly 150 years
today since we began as the Oxford School of Art. How exciting is that?! We
haven’t received your present yet though, it must still be in the post.
Also, in completely unrelated but even more important news, have you seen that celebrity chef and all round good guy Jamie Oliver is currently calling for a food revolution?
Jamie’s petitioning the G20, a forum for the world’s most
powerful countries, to make food education compulsory in schools across the
globe. He sees this as crucial to helping children to lead healthier, happier
lives and he’s called food education ‘every child’s human right’. He’s
determined to get the G20 governments to take action.
And we believe he can do it, because we know all about the
Magna Carta. 800 years ago a group of barons secured some rights for some of
the people of Britain by getting King John to sign the Magna Carta, and we’re
confident that Jamie Oliver can now achieve something similar. He needs your
help though, which you can provide in the following ways:

We hope you get involved and that you have a great weekend,

*Food Revolution Day was on 15 May
so we’re a bit late to the party on that front, but Jamie’s campaign is very
much ongoing.
