The dates for the UWC Open Day at Atlantic College have just been confirmed for Thurs 23 August 1330 to 1500, and Sat 20 October, 1330-1500. Look for details, including directions, on Atlantic College's website www.atlanticcollege.org and come along to meet current students at AC, alumni from all of the colleges, the UWCGB National Committee and to find out more about UWC in general and how to apply for a place.

Saturday 26th May is our AGM - all are welcome of course to see us present our annual report and elect new trustees, including a new Chair! We are holding the meeting at the London Irish Centre ( www.londonirishcentre.org ) in Camden, London which allows us to host a dinner, a discussion panel featuring admirable UWC alumni and a party. Everyone is welcome to all or any part of the day (kicking off at 4:30pm with the AGM), but we need to charge for the dinner and the party afterwards. For further details please visit our facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/events/127292624067877/ or email events@uwcgb.org

Our Selection Team and Atlantic College have now completed our respective parts of the selection process and now all we need to do is send out the letters! AC's scholarship pot has stretched further than previous years down our list of nominees, but there are many who won't be offered any scholarship support. If you want to help us send these amazing young people to a UWC and help the college they go to continue to transform lives with that income, please consider pledging support via our National Committee! Candidates - keep your eyes on the post!

Want to work off the Christmas excesses? Join Team UWCGB - a new group for UK based UWCers who like to run. All experience levels and abilities welcome. We also have a fledgling facebook group so that we can all connect and motivate one another. Visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/315720831801262/ to join, or you can follow @TeamUWCGB on twitter!

 Two, 100% scholarship places have just been confirmed for Pearson College - open only to students resident in Anglesey and Scotland. This is great news if you live in those places but bad news for anyone else with their heart set on Pearson College. Please research all of the colleges (except UWCSEA and UWCSB) and keep an open mind!
