The Pitch is a new type of business competition. You pitch your idea in a 1-minute video. You don't need to know anything about business - all you need is an idea! It could be a new product, a service or a way of helping people. You submit the video (it's really easy, and you can use our PCs if you don't have a webcam), then the best ones are chosen by a panel of judges. After that comes the fun

Hugh Fidgen has left the University of York to wander the earth for a year. Hugh's excellent work for the CETLE and the wider University is very much appreciated and we all wish him the best for his future plans. It is telling that as Hugh was always behind the camera at events there are no decent pictures of him to accompany this post. Send us a good one from China Hugh.

Here is some feedback from students who took the Social Policy and Social Work module "Working in Organisations", which was created with funding from the CETLE. It makes good reading even if I do say so myself! Congratulations Robert Gunn for putting such a good module together."The Working in Organisations module has opened my eyes to the use of not-for-profit organisations with today's society.

With only five days to go the CETLE is absolutely chock full of York Proms staff and volunteers beavering away in last minute preparations for the big day.
