2. Talk Cock Sing Song Play Mahjong (TCSSPM) - 15 Jan 2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everybody,
TCSSPM is back again!
Here are the details of the event:
**Date**: 15th January 2011 (the first Saturday of the term)
**Time**: 6pm to 11pm
**Venue**: TBC (most probably a nice lecture room conducive for
k-boxing and mahjong-ing).
**Highlights**: Potluck, Don’t forget the lyrics, Karaoke
competition, Mahjong and other games.
**Why you should come:**
1) *Fun with friends*: The event was planned to be on the first
Saturday of the new term as it is the time where all of you are
fresh from the holidays. So why not come together and meet up
with your OG mates, coursemates and other friends. Besides, the
start of term exams should be over so it should be time to take a
break and have fun.
2) *Potluck*: After a term of cooking, all of you should have
become great chefs. So why not take this as a chance to show us
your culinary skills and get a taste of other people’s style of
cooking.
3) *Mahjong*: There will be mahjong sets for those whose hands
are itchy. There will also be poker sets and other games such as
monopoly deals. So for those who just want to come for a
gathering, a chat over the mahjong table will definitely suit
you.
4) *Karaoke*: Kbox in London is expensive but Kbox in TCSSPM is
free of charge. Besides, the screen will be the biggest you will
ever see for a karaoke setting and the number of people in the
karaoke room will make you feel like you are performing in a
concert. So for those kbox enthusiasts, do come down and show us
your vocal capabilities.
5) *Don’t forget the lyrics*: For those who just want to sit
back and relax, the “Don’t forget the lyrics” competition
will be the competition to take part. One line of song lyrics and
you can win yourself attractive prizes. So why not?
6) *Karaoke competition*: Do I need to say more about this? Thos
interested can contact anyone in the Exco to register for it and
will be briefed at a later date. For those who are indecisive,
just come down for the event, registration will still be opened
on that day.
See you at TCSSPM!

3. ICSS Paintball Day this Sunday! (5 Dec)
ICSS is holding the paintballing session this Sunday at Delta Force
paintball and there are still a few places available on both teams! Below
are the event details,
*Date:* 5th December, Sunday
*From:* 9am to 4pm, whole day event. Meeting at South Kensington Tube
station at 7am. Should return to London before 6pm.
*Where:* Delta Force Paintball Centre (Surrey (Guildford and Effingham)
Paintball Branch), London M25 J10 , KT11 1NL
*Cost:* approximately £20-25 for full day event, 300-400 paintballs each
person, does not include lunch, light refreshments provided (like some
drinks & tea/coffee). You can buy more paintballs on that day, if you like.
Transport: We'll head off together in the morning as a group. Will take
about 1hr+ to get there by tube+rail. The total transport cost should be
around £4.65 per person including return (for British Rail group ticket).
*Equipment:* All equipment will be provided. Wear loose comfortable clothing
underneath the paintball suit that's provided. Also, I've been told that the
ground is VERY muddy, so I strongly advise you guys to wear light boots or
at least trainers that you don't mind getting 'muddified'. Don't worry too
much about the cold, the gear should keep you warm.
All in all, this should be a great day of paintballing fun with your Singsoc
friends, all for under £30! If you are keen to join, since there are some
spaces left, do send me an e-mail at icss.events(a)gmail.com ASAP! You can
also invite your friends from outside Imperial/ICSS if you like!
All those who have confirmed (shown below) must turn up, or they would have
to pay the £5 reservation fee, as I have already booked the venue for the
whole day private paintballing event! Any questions, feel free to shoot them
at me!

6. A Christmas Murder Mystery Dinner by University of Sheffield Singapore
Society
*Message from University of Sheffield Singapore Society:*
Hello and season's greetings! (:
This December, The University of Sheffield Singapore Society is proud to
present ❄A Christmas Murder Mystery Dinner!❄
We are delighted to have the opportunity to extend a friendly invitation to
your society to join us in the spirit of friendship and goodwill this
festive season! We welcome you and your members to come and partake in a
night of revelry, fun and fellowship with friends across the UK.
The merrymaking starts on the chartered bus as we head out of Sheffield to
our beautiful venue, Wentworth Castle Gardens! Commence your evening at
Santa’s Grotto, where an outdoor courtyard reception awaits. Feast on hors
d'œuvres washed down with drinks from the bar as you bask in the atmospheric
ambience of the Gardens at night. Then we adjourn to the Long Barn, where
the Murder Mystery begins! Can you solve the crime? Challenge your
intelligence and intuition for the opportunity to win some great prizes! And
to round off the night, we’ve hired our very own DJ to create a private
afterparty.
For more information on the event or to RSVP, please visit our Facebook
