President's Message on ICSS Membership ----------------------------------------------------------------- **If you have already purchased ICSS membership, you may wish to skip the following message. ** Dear all, I will like to bring your attention to the purchasing of our Society membership. If you do not already know, our Society membership comes at a mere cost of £5. As a member, you will be entitled to many benefits and privileges. Just to give you a flavour of some of the benefits: * Entitlement to Members-only events (eg. Imperial Ski Trip) * Priority in registration for events over non-members * Subsidies for events (eg. Chinese New Year dinner, Bicester Trip) * Discount card to many popular restaurants and cafes * Opportunity to vote and have a say at OGMs and AGMs * And much more! Hence, the sooner you sign up for membership, the faster you will gain access to all these lovely benefits, all at a very small cost! If the above reason isn’t compelling enough for you, as a paying member for the Society membership, you will be assisting the entire Society in fulfilling a membership count quota required by the Union. Once our numbers are met, we will be awarded grants, bolstering the finances of the Society. This will then lead to events becoming cheaper and better! Much effort has been placed into every single event we organize. Being crippled by finances will mean all the effort will go to waste. So do help us to help you! Signing up only requires a Debit/Credit card under your name, and a few minutes of your time. Instructions are: 1. Go to http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org. 2. Go under 'Clubs & Societies' and find 'Singapore' under A-Z clubs & societies list. 3. Click "Shop" on the tab at the left hand side. 4. Buy the membership for 5 pounds and we'll take care of the rest! To all those who have already signed up for membership, I will like to say a big thank you! I warmly welcome you as a member of the Imperial College Singapore Society. To the rest, please do not deliberate any further and get your membership today! Yours truly, Wenjun ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

Message from the UKSSC regarding the UKSSC AGM ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fellow student leaders and friends, I hope everyone is settling well for a new school year. I write regarding the subject, which my committee members and I have been receiving quite a fair bit of questions on. We had initially decided to launch our official website (which would contain the relevant information) on 16 Oct, but I thought it might be better to address the common questions personally first. This informational email is, unfortunately, rather lengthy, so please bear with me. ***1) Write-up of The UKSSC*** Attached is a write-up of The UKSSC <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/32598/Write-up+of+The+UKSSC.pdf>. I hope you will find it most useful as to the what and how of the dealings of The UKSSC. ***2) The UKSSC Constitution*** The second attached document is the Constitution of The UKSSC <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/32599/The+UKSSC+Constitution.pdf>, which I had promised to deliver during my election speech last year. It contains 29 Articles of Association and the Election By-Laws. Most relevant to the AGM would be Articles 5, 6, 17, 18 and the Election By-Laws. Please do take the time to read through them because they will tell you everything you need to know about the upcoming elections. Detailed descriptions of the the job scope of each office is provided. Though all the important details can be found in the Constitution, I have highlighted the more relevant ones in the topics below, for your reading pleasure. ***3) Ratification of the Constitution*** In order to imbue in the Constitution the authority to govern The UKSSC, we would like to ratify the document formally during the AGM. The process will be as such - the title of each Article will be read out, and you, representing your Partner Society, will be asked to demonstrate your agreement with the terms of the Article by way of raising your hand. Once we have repeated the process for all 29 Articles and the Election By-Laws, I will officially proclaim the Constitution ratified, and would request all of you to sign, on behalf of your society, on the Constitution. This will be the official hardcopy original of The UKSSC Constitution. The ratification of our Constitution is a monumental moment for The UKSSC. Thus, to make it a meaningful event, please take your time to browse through the full Constitution, and should you have any objections to the terms, do contact me. ***4) Eligibility of candidates*** All Singaporean tertiary students are eligible to run for office. However, certain positions, like that of President and the Vice Presidents, require candidates to be, at most, in their penultimate year of study. Similarly, certain offices require candidates to reside in the relevant regions ie. Vice President (The South & Greater London) need necessarily be a person who resides in the region of either The South or Greater London, as classified accordingly by The UKSSC. Candidates are required to be physically present at the AGM. No subsidy in transport costs will be provided for candidates. ***5) Important dates to note*** 30 Oct - Registration for candidacy opens 6 Nov - Sending of confirmation of attendance, with all the details of your transport booking as listed above 13 Nov - Candidates to register with The UKSSC their candidacy (with completed registration form and manifesto) 20 Nov - The UKSSC AGM and Elections at the Singapore High Commission in London (11am to 5pm - lunch is provided) 20/21 Nov - Handing Over Session* Candidates are required to commit 20 and 21 Nov (until late noon) for a series of handing over sessions. -- Yours sincerely, Ng Shiyang President The UKSSC ----------------------------------------------------------------- 12. GIC's Young Professionals Programme ----------------------------------------------------------------- The GIC Young Professionals Programme is a intensive one-year programme comprising both classroom-style learning and rotations to experience first-hand GIC's investment and operations. Please view this attachment <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/32604/GIC+-+Young+Professionals+Pro…> for more details. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 13. Careers@Singapore October 2010 - Opportunities in Singapore's Professional Sector ----------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Singapore would like to share some opportunities in Singapore's professional sector. Please view this document <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/32606/Jobs%40SG_ProfSvcs_Oct10.doc> for more details and to submit your CV for the stated positions. --- http://www.ic-singsoc.net/ To unsubscribe, please send an email to liaisonsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Imperial College Singapore Society www.ic-singsoc.net http://groupspaces.com/icss ---------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by GroupSpaces - manage your group online http://www.groupspaces.com/e/about

Bryan ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ICSS Major Event 2011 - The search for Directors and Scriptwriters ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, The search for Directors and Scriptwriters for ICSS Major Event 2011 continues. Major Event serves the purpose of bringing Imperial Singaporeans from different years, courses, halls and OGs together and it is the biggest and most rewarding event for our Singsoc members every year. Last year, ICSS did a musical which was well-received by our audience and was also a highly fulfilling experience for the participants. For 2011, we will once again be doing a musical for Major Event. This musical will be anchored by the Freshers, and we hope to see the various roles (from directors and scriptwriters to actors and backstage crew) taken up enthusiastically by our Freshers. While the event will be held in March, we are now beginning to ask for helpers for all roles, especially directors and scriptwriters who will generate the script and set the stage right. Assistance and guidance will be provided by your lovely seniors. To those who are interested in joining in the Major Event 2011, especially as directors and scriptwriters, please contact your dear Events Officer - Shuren or Sid - at eventsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011 for more information.

Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ICSS Fiesta! - Starting next week ----------------------------------------------------------------- The much publicised inaugural ICSS Fiesta begins **next week**! All seniors are invited to return to their 1st year Halls to join the new freshers in preparing a feast to kick off the term. The best part is, the ICSS is *subsidizing your feast*! To make things a little more exciting, we will be running an ICSS Fiesta Food Photography competition! Before you devour all the scrumptious dishes you have prepared, take the whackiest photos of the food / your group with the food / your group preparing the food. Let your creative juices flow alongside the delicious juices and stand a chance to win delicious Singaporean commodities which will definitely come in useful in the victory feast. :-) ***Start now*** and organize your fellow hallmates to get together either with your senior batch (if you know them, freshers) or with your junior batch (for seniors) to decide on WHEN / WHAT / HOW you are going to win this competition! Seniors require contact information with the Freshers who have just shifted into your ex-hall can email Yu Leng at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net. * **Fiesta period**: 18th to 31st October 2010 * **Deadline for competition**: 31st October 2010 * **Competition Categories:** Whackiest Photo, Best Caption, Most Halloweenish * **Subsidies (*):** 5-10 people - 5 pounds, 10-20 people - 10 pounds, 20 and above - 20 pounds (*) The subsidy is a lump sum not a *per pax* subsidy.

ICSS Major Event 2011 - The search for Directors and Scriptwriters ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Freshers, Welcome to Imperial College London! While you guys are busy settling down and attending the countless Freshers' Week events, let me just give you guys a short introduction about Major Event 2011: the biggest event for Singapore Society. Major Event is the event that SingSoc holds every year to wrap off the academic year. It is the event that has the highest number of participants across all years. Thus, Major Event serves to facilitate interaction and bonding between Singaporeans across all levels. This year, we will be doing a musical for Major Event. More importantly, this musical will be anchored by you guys. From directors and scriptwriters to actors and backstage crew, every role in the musical will be filled by you guys. I was part of the cast in last year’s musical. Speaking from experience, I can say that Major Event was a fulfilling and enriching event. We had many rehearsals, numerous late nights. We shed tears and sweat for the event. At the end of the day, we feel that the effort put in was worthwhile, looking at the friends that we have made and the sense of achievement. ICSS Major Event 2011 will be held in March. However, we will need to start early to source for helpers for all roles, especially directors and scriptwriters who will generate the script and set the stage right. Of course, we will be there to assist you guys. To those who are interested in joining in the Major Event 2011, especially as directors and scriptwriters, please contact your dear Events Officer - me or Sid - at eventsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011 and we will give you more information. Thanks! Shuren ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Tour London (9 October 2010) ----------------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned in the last week's Kaya & Toast, Tour London will be held this coming Saturday, 9 October 2010. Take this opportunity to discover about the latest batch of Freshers as each OG goes on thier own exciting journey of exploration around London. The suggested route includes places like Westminster Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye.. as well as 'attractions' like Oxford and Regent Street! * View image: * <http://www.ic-singsoc.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0383-2.jpg> The freshers will be going on this tour with their respective OG-mates and OGLs, and we welcome the rest of the society to join us in meeting and bringing the freshers around London. Should you be interested, please contact Yu Leng at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=Tour%20London%20(9%20Oct) or simply join any group that you feel most comfortable with! :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Freshers' Picnic (16 Oct 2010) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Calling everyone in ICSS! The freshers' picnic is back! What better way to spend a Saturday morning than in Hyde Park, chilling with your friends over a picnic and playing some sports. It will be plenty of fun and a unique experience to be together in everyone’s favourite park. Though it may be called freshers' picnic, seniors are NEEDED as well! Come on down and impress them with your wealth of experiences in the ways of being a Singaporean in London. For the sports enthusiasts, there is no better time to spot sporting talents amongst our able-bodied freshers. Either way, do come and give our freshers a warm welcome to London! ALSO, this year, Singaporeans from all over London will be down in OUR park as well to have their picnics from 10 am onwards! We should be in close proximity to each other and so, feel free to “picnic hop” and check out the people from other Unis. If all goes well, we might even see some interschool friendly matches so we need you there to REPRESENT US! The various JC UK alumnis will be down as well so do drop by at their booths to find out more about them and their activities. Breakfast will be provided!! =) Click here <http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144924485551161&ref=ts#!/event.php?ei…> for our Facebook event page! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 6. ICSS Fiesta! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Start the new academic year with a bang this autumn by cooking up a storm! We are inviting all seniors to return to their 1st year Halls to join the new freshers in preparing a feast to kick off the term. The best part is, the ICSS is *subsidizing your feast*! The ICSS Fiesta will be a series of cooking competitions which will be running through the entire academic year. To make things a little more exciting, we will be running an ICSS Fiesta Food Photography competition! Before you devour all the scrumptious dishes you have prepared, take the whackiest photos of the food / your group with the food / your group preparing the food. Let your creative juices flow alongside the delicious juices and stand a chance to win delicious Singaporean commodities which will definitely come in useful in the victory feast. :-) ***So what do you need to do NOW?*** Simple! Just organize your fellow hallmates and get together either with your senior batch (if you know them, freshers) or with your junior batch (for seniors) to decide on WHEN / WHAT / HOW you are going to win this competition! Seniors require contact information with the Freshers who have just shifted into your ex-hall can email Yu Leng at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net. * **Fiesta period**: 18th to 31st October 2010 * **Deadline for competition**: 31st October 2010 * **Competition Categories:** Whackiest Photo, Best Caption, Most Halloweenish * **Subsidies (*):** 5-10 people - 5 pounds, 10-20 people - 10 pounds, 20 and above - 20 pounds (*) The subsidy will depend on the headcount of the number of people in the photos submitted for the competition.
