Summary: In this presentation I plan to feature approximately 4 famous British television programs (as well as mentioning several others which may be of interest) from a range of historical eras and which occur in a variety of formats (i.e. cartoons and live action) to the students, so as to raise awareness of popular characters and what they represent.

Title: Polo at Winchester University
Brief Summary: I will begin by explaining how I could already horse-ride and so when the sports fayre was held in fresher’s week, I decided to join the Polo team. Then I will have a few images of the team, and the polo ponies, along with rules/diagrams and descriptions of the game. I will describe nasty accidents I have had from the sport but also show the exciting side of it too!

Title: Music – setting the right mood
Summary: Basically I will be talking about my eclectic taste in music and how and why I use it to enhance different activities. To that end I will need to provide samples of the various types to be played in conjunction with pictures shown in the powerpoint presentation. I will also be asking Dennis to assist me in performing a wee bit of dancing with music and finally a demonstration of the joys of singing karaoke country & western style.
