The meeting was attended by Botswana students from Universities across UK, mostly represented were Bolton and Bradford Universities. Even though the BOHICO (Education attach) was not represented the day was a success. The President's position was won by Mr. Rammidi (unopposed) from University of Bolton. Other members of the executive committee were elected as follows: Golebanye Utlwanang Vice President London, Lady Kgaswane Secretary General Wales, Patrick Mokotedi Assistant Secretary Bolton , Gaodirelwe Daniel Motheo, Treasurer Bolton, Thato Ookeditse Publicity Secretary Bradford, Lerothodi Keoletile Gender Advisor Bolton, Kenaleone Pule, Events Organiser Bolton, Sibusiso Kgosikhumo, Additional Member, Birmingham, Thapelo Martin Mongale, Additional Member, Manchester, Mothusi G.

We committed ourselves as the new executive committee to uphold what has been done before us. The previous committees coined and launched a project called "Inspire a Child" under the leadership of Mr Thato Baloi 2006/7 and Mrs Sylvia Mthimkhulu 2007/8. The project, which was launched at Bokamoso Secodary School on the 14th September 2007, holds a strong emphasis on the education sector in line with Vision 2016 of an educated and informed nation. The project was an inspiration from our then Education attache Mrs Bandie Ramothibi who always expressed her wish to see us as Batswana students in UK engaging in issues that today face our country and challenging the BSU-UK position to become a student body with a difference.
