We would like to introduce the following people:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Becky Sheffield<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Campus Promoter<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Farrell<\/strong> &#8211; Social Media Officer<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Snart<\/strong> &#8211; Campus Promoter<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Neilson<\/strong> &#8211; Treasurer<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Simons<\/strong> &#8211; Social Media Officer<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Withers<\/strong> &#8211; R.A.G.

We are also about to release our very own Aston AU Naked Calendar, available for pre-order for \u00a35. This involves some tasteful shots of the big clubs of Aston University, who we would all like to thank for getting their kit off for charity!<\/p>\n<p>Training has been hard recently with the added pressure of exams and placement interviews, however it has recently been picking up and I\u2019m happy to say it\u2019s going really well and improving every day. With the fantastic help of Sam Coleman we are about 4 weeks away from stepping up training to next stage. Using a professional programme, more outdoor\/sea swims and structured coaching the real hard work starts now! Those of you who have been following us on twitter would be aware that last month I went for a swim in the sea to start to adapt to the cold conditions. In truth it was colder than what we expect the actual swim to be but was great experience and I have to say the end of session cold showers are appearing to benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the team are working away, fresh from exams, on some big events but sadly it\u2019s all under wraps for now! We have a few big things planned as well as a few new things in the line.<\/p>\n<p>In the mean time make sure you keep on following us on <a title=\"Team Brophy Site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.teambrophy.com\">TeamBrophy.com<\/a>, <a title=\"Team Brophy Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/brophyschannel\">Twitter<\/a>, <a title=\"Team Brophy Facebook Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/teambrophy\">Facebook<\/a> and <a title=\"Team Brophy Youtube Channel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/brophyscrossing\">YouTube<\/a> to keep up to date with training, events and seeing the rich and famous get behind Team Brophy and Leukaemia &amp; Lymphoma Research!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while but that doesn\u2019t mean there hasn\u2019t been a lot going on, many of Team Brophy have now finished their exams and continuing our latest project! \u00a0But let\u2019s start with some new additions to the team. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/weeklyblogs\/welcome-back-to-brophys-blog\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[11,77,68,79,69,75,73,78,71,72,70,5,18,76,58,74],"class_list":["post-141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-weeklyblogs","tag-aston","tag-au","tag-becky","tag-calendar","tag-farrell","tag-merchandise","tag-michael","tag-naked","tag-neilson","tag-simons","tag-snart","tag-team","tag-training","tag-university","tag-wristbands","tag-zohar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":665,"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions\/665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teambrophy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
