2 Windsurfing in the Bristol Channel

3 Definitely not the Bristol Channel!

4 Memories of those good old days at Bristol in the late 80 s with Brian as your supervisor Civilised with a high level of decorum

5 The BV Birthday Always a Special Day.. Kick a few students into a Mini Bus

6 Treat him like a King and make him the centre of attention

7 Feed him a nice big cake

8 Respect from your Supervisor???? But some students just got a bit too friendly!!
