Oldham hosts first Twitter Festival

This is Max Tolley. Our top story today, the current economic climate is having a serious effect on modern
day students, with concern expressed about providing for students who are less privileged. We sent our
economic correspondent Patrick Nolan-Rennie to Oldham Sixth Form College to discuss this matter.
Specialist reporter
I visited Oldham Sixth Form College to speak to Bev Beaumont, Assistant Principal of Finance. Her opinion
on the current economic state which affects students in colleges and universities in the Oldham borough.

I also asked her how students could manage their debts whilst at university.

In other news, you may all seem to remember back in secondary we were all dreading P.E lessons, but this
year a lucky few students at Oldham Academy North got to experience the Asian sport that has been
around since 1936. The relatively new sport in Britain is now able to be studied at GCSE grade, in the
Oldham area. We sent our sports reporter, Shenaz Miah, to find out more.
I’m here to speak to Scott Chapman, tutor for P.E at OSFC about the popularity of Kabaddi.

And finally, a Twitter festival or Twestival as its become known is being organised in the town to help
charities achieve their goals. We went out to the streets of Oldham to find out what the locals thought of
the event.
