*http://bit.ly/ICSSSkiTripRegistration* by 2 Oct **2011**. We
need to know what the response is like to facilitate the planning
(and bargaining)! Though this does not count as the final
confirmation, places at the resort are limited and it will help
to express interest early! Please note that you have to sign up
to receive the group promotion code that entitles you to the
discounted price of 530 pounds. :)  
  
*(Please take note: due to some technical difficulties in the
previous link we sent to Freshers, we've moved the form to a
**new link**, so please sign up using the link above!)*  
  
If you would like to bring a friend/family member along, please
state **"Family/Friend of XXX"** under Remarks when you register
for them. Do note that the minimum age for the courses is 18.  
In cases of limited vacanies at the resort, **priority will be
given to Imperial Singsoc members.** For non-Singaporeans, please
check if you will need to apply for visa
(http://www.visafrance.co.uk/frenchTouristVisa.php) which will
incur extra costs.
If you have any queries, email our **Vice-President, Eileen** at
vicepresident(a)ic-singsoc.net. <vicepresident(a)ic-singsoc.net>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 2. Introducing... the 3-in-1 Freshers' Package! (and other updates)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you all, for your overwhelming support at UKBound –
Lavish! Congratulations to **Yong Qian (Imperial)** and
**Samantha (UCL)** for winning the pageant! Of course, not
forgetting our pretty Miss Imperial, Ming Yue, for clinching the
title of Miss Photogenic - congratulations, once again! Photos of
the event are already available on our Facebook page
<http://on.fb.me/LavishPhotos>, so do check 'em out. :)

<http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/171741/C7gY7vhu7rva8xnUK7DZ/Lavish+…>
In addition, we've put in place a series of post-arrival events
to help ease our Freshers' transition into their new phase of
life in London. We have affectionately termed it the 3-in-1
Freshers' Package! To all seniors, feel free to join us in any of
the events to get to know our new additions to the ICSS family
better :) :
**1. Freshers’ Walkabout: 1st Oct 2011 (Sat)**  
  
This would be a quick walkabout around each Hall, conducted by
ex-Hall seniors, right after we have dropped the Freshers off at
their Halls. If you would like to make a good first impression to
our Freshers, this is the best chance for you to **provide tips
and advice** to them for life in and around your ex-Hall. Who
knows, if you are missing that kick-ass Foosball table or the
feeling of huddling together in the cosy little Hall kitchen next
time, they would be your key (literally) to the end of your
terrible longing. Also, come down with your hallmates and
reminisce those great times you have had with them as a Fresher.
Drop **Shun Ying** an email at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net, if you
are interested to join us for the walkabout.
To all Freshers: if you have yet to register your hall
information, please do so here
<https://docs.google.com/a/ic-singsoc.net/spreadsheet/viewform?pli=1&hl=en_U…>
so that we could contact you for the walkabout as soon as
possible.  
  
More details at:

**2. Tour London: 8th Oct 2011 (Sat)**  
  
Offering free walking tours in London, **ICSS OGL Tours** is
dedicated to providing all Freshers, no matter of budget, with
the best tour available. It is our goal to help ICSS Freshers
fully discover the beauty and rich history of as many sights in
central London as possible. Tours are conducted by our very own
**Sojourn OGLs**, and allow Freshers to tour some of the **major
attractions* in London** with their new made friends in their
OGs. Hear our **‘local’ expert guides**** share with you
their personal stories and insights during this riveting
walkabout, only on 8th Oct!
* Attractions covered include Buckingham Palace, Oxford Street,
Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and London Eye, Hyde Park, Piccadilly
Circus. Do consult your individual tour guides for more
information about the exact itinerary closer to the date.
** Disclaimer: Each tour is subject to our individual tour
guide’s unique style of mixing history and story-telling while
maintaining their own personality and flair. Any opinions made by
our tour guides are not representative of Imperial College
Singapore Society. :)

**3. Freshers’ Hyde Park Picnic: 15th Oct 2011 (Sat)**  
  
Mark down your 2nd Saturday in London on your calendar, as you
would be participating in one of the largest-scale societal-wide
event on 15th Oct! Held in Imperial’s very own backyard, Hyde
Park, Freshers’ Picnic would be a great chance for Seniors and
Freshers to meet in a relaxed environment over a lovely picnic on
the grassy patches – London style. Sports events in the picnic
will also allow you to showcase your sporting skills in
**football, Frisbee, touch rugby** and more. Don’t miss out on
the opportunity to lay back and relax with fellow Imperial
Singaporeans before kiasu-ism kicks in (and turn everyone into
full-time-stay-home-muggers) for the school term!

 3. LSE Freshers' Ball: Enigma (4 Oct 2011)

a dark room?
Well, here's your chance! The London School of Economics
Singapore Society is organising a **ball for all UK university
students**, and the theme is Masquerade and Masks!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
 2. Warwick Summer Games - Thank you everyone!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a message from our Sports Officer, Yuxiang, on behalf of
the Exco:  
  
Hello everybody,  
  
This is your very proud Sports Officer, writing for the first
time since WSG.   
  
Last Saturday (3 Sep) was an extremely exciting and fruitful day
for ICSS despite the gloomy outlook initially. Our Team
Imperial's recruitment process faced a tough start this summer.
The Exco registered for only 5 teams (1 for each sport) for WSG,
and had difficulties even filling them up. But support from
Freshers grew over time, especially after Sojourn! Special thanks
to the enthusiastic ones who came to me volunteering to form full
teams on their own! We eventually fielded 7 teams, forming the
**largest contingent** this year.   
  
I'm extremely honoured to say that despite our not-so-optimistic
start, our teams brought us many pleasant surprises this WSG:  
  
**Floorball Team A** emerged as ***Champions*** after a close
battle with arch-rivals LSE; **Football Team A** and the
**Basketball team** reached the finals and clinched the
***Runners-up positions***; our mainly-beginners **Netball team**
also displayed extraordinary skills and perseverance as they
fought more experienced teams to emerge as ***2nd runner-up***.
Deserving equal emphasis and respect, our Football Team B, and
mostly-beginners Floorball Team B and Touch Rugby team put up
great fights and treated the audiences to equally exciting
matches, though they lost their critical matches by a mere couple
of points.

(Our Netball girls clinching 2nd runner-up in the Warwick Summer
Games)  
  
Although we missed the "Overall Champion School" title by just a
few points, I'm proud to say that this is probably some of the
best performances of Team Imperial in the recent years! As I
congratulate the players for their fantastic play, I also wish to
applaud the non-competitors who lent us our support by being
there to cheer for us. The home-ground-like atmosphere would
certainly be different if your cheers were not present!  
  
Finally, I definitely would like to witness these remarkable
display of passion, perseverance and unity in future ICSS events,
particularly in the upcoming Lavish and Nottingham Games! :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 3. Freshers' Pick-up and Hall walkabout (1 Oct 2011)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Freshers,   
  
Within these few days, most of you (who have chosen to stay in
halls) should have received your email from the Accommodation
Office regarding your Hall allocations. If you have gotten into
somewhere you really wanted to - congratulations! If not – do
not worry too much too and always keep an open mind, as you will
certainly adapt into wherever you end up staying!   
  
As mentioned during our Pre-departure talk, we are offering a
pick-up coach service exclusively for all ICSS Freshers.   
This pick-up service would take you from London Heathrow Airport
**directly to the doorsteps of your hall**, with maximum comfort
and minimal hassle. The service is estimated to cost about
**10-15 pounds**, which is definitely much cheaper than a London
Black Cab (~40 pounds) and saves you the trouble of transiting
around on the London Tube. The service is mainly catered for
people arriving on **SQ322**, reaching **London Heathrow Airport
Terminal 3** at **0555h on 1 Oct 2011** (London time). There
should be other flights arriving around this time too (e.g.
BA0012, BA0016), so if your flight arrives before 0555h, feel
free to indicate your interest for this pick up as well! Fill up
the form with your details at http://bit.ly/fresherspickupform.  
*Take note that the pick-up service would be on
**first-come-first-serve** basis, so fill up the form as soon as
possible to secure a seat on the coach!*
For those who are **reaching London either earlier or have booked
a flight some other time**, do also fill up the form with your
**hall information** so as to facilitate the organization of
activities for Freshers in the coming academic year. If you would
also fill in your flight information, I could help you check if
there might be seniors on the same flight who can help you get to
your hall.  
  
Feel free to drop me an email at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net if you
have any more queries regarding the Freshers' pick-up! :)  
  
  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
**To all ex-Hall seniors:** If you are interested to help out in
bringing around our Freshers' on the hall walkabout on 1 Oct,
kindly drop Shun Ying an email at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net by 16
Sept with your name, UK contact no and your previous hall. We
would get back to you again shortly with more details regarding
the walkabout! Thank you :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 4. Charisma Mastery Class
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You may not have your Bachelor's degree just yet, but here's your
chance to get a Master's... in Charisma!   
*cue applause*  
InQueenz by Genecia Luo has offered to host a **Charisma Mastery
class** exclusively catered for students, on the **15th of
September**, from **2 to 5pm**, at 195 Pearl's Hill Terrace.   
 For more information, do check out their Facebook
page: http://www.facebook.com/CharismaMastery  
This class will impart important lessons in poise, comportment
and confidence, so don't miss out on this opportunity! To book a
place, simply e-mail Fong at eventsofficer1(a)ic-singsoc.net or
jackass(a)ic-singsoc.net to indicate your interest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 5. ICSS Table Soccer Facebook Group!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a call-out about our ICSS Table Soccer group from Bryan:  
  
Hey people!  
  
Iif you love the sacred art of **table soccer/foosball**, look no
further! Noobs and Pros are both welcome and there will be
friendly matches where we can all exchange tips and tricks. We
also have access to some great tables in SG and London so it will
be a great opportunity for some fun and intense matches.
To join, simply type **ICSS Table Soccer**
<http://on.fb.me/icsstablesoccer> in **Facebook** and join the
group. We will then keep you updated on the latest happenings and
meet ups from there!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 6. Invitation to EDB's Formula 1 Networking Party
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Heard of Singapore’s F1 night race but never really had the
opportunity to experience it up close?
