@DianeKemp1 @marcusryder @LHC4MD Thank you to Marcus for all he's done to help get the Centre up and running. I have no doubt we will stay in touch!

Congratulations to @hendry_holly - wonderful to have such a special piece of public art for our city.

Brilliant evening at #STEAMhouse last night, celebrating the official unveiling of 'Lip-sync' by artist Holly Hendry. @hendry_holly

Holly gave a fascinating talk about what inspired 'Lip-sync' guiding a rapt audience through the inception and development of this beautiful piece.

Congratulations to Professor David Mba, announced as the incoming Vice Chancellor @MyBCU - it will be a huge wrench to retire from this unique university in October, but I'm delighted to leave it in such safe hands for the next stage of its journey.

[Birmingham City University @MyBCU]

Such a pleasure to be @vocebooks this evening to listen to one of my absolute heroes @mjohnharrison who I started reading in the now distant 1970s and whose writing continued to be assured, elusive and thoroughly wonderful.

Lovely to be at Edgbaston again for our @MyBCU Loyalty Awards. Thank you to everyone for your contribution without which we would be so much poorer.

“I’m not surprised in the slightest with the findings," said Dr Khawaja. "When we set up the South Asian Cricket Academy, we knew there were inequalities that needed addressing. What the ECB has found at national level, we had found locally."

Wonderful evening ⁦@MyBCU⁩ ⁦@BirmCons⁩ with the Maestro ⁦@Shankar_Live⁩ accepting an Honorary Degree - made all the more special by the company of his brothers in music ⁦@jmcl_gtr⁩ and ⁦@ZakirHtabla⁩. Extraordinary and very moving.

@AnneBillson Touch of Zen? Such a wonderful film.

[BCU VC @BCUVC]

@Amanda_Vickery There was a silence, then Dr Pike said 'Nigel loved it' again, and they both stared at the garden. 2/2

[BCU VC @BCUVC]

@Amanda_Vickery The writing is as good as you say (and so good to see this noted when LD seems a bit forgotten) but the first five minutes of the film, from HP’s bedsit to the bedraggled London streets, is immediately evocative of time and place.

[BCU VC @BCUVC]

@Amanda_Vickery The wonderful exchange with the patronising Pike brothers.

“Ha ha,' said Ralph. 'Arma virumque cano.' He turned to me and said, 'Of arms and the man I sing. Virgil.'
I said, 'Adeo in teneris consuescere multum est. As the twig is bent the tree inclines. Also Virgil.' 1/2

Actual answer: There could/might/maybe are events that don't proceed at an earlier point. We have no evidence of this. But ... maybe ....

[BCU VC @BCUVC]

Question: there were c.31,500 events/speakers at universities. 260 events did not go ahead. If you were a regulator what would your response be: 1/3

[BCU VC @BCUVC]

1. I am worried too many events were cancelled. 2. I'm worried not enough events were cancelled (Prevent duties?) 3. I'm worried that I am setting up a significant additional infrastructure to monitor the issue? 2/3
