VM Café
After a well-earned week off, the VM café is back on Tuesday 12th August from 10:30–11:30am. Students are continuing to lead all aspects as part of their major project — planning the menu, preparing food & coffee and managing service. It runs fortnightly and gives students the chance to apply their skills in a real-world setting. Thanks to everyone who’s come along to support so far.
