Updates Hi everyone, Ski Trip 2012 is here!!!!! Check out the awesome deal that we have managed to procure this year and you'll see why we're so excited and jumping in our seats! Held from 14th - 23rd December at Tignes, with a very attractive price of £465, this is definitely *the year to go skiing/snowboarding* with your friends from ICSS. Sign ups will open very soon, so mark out the dates and start *jio*-ing your friends today! Being a senior doesn't mean you can't play sports anymore. Recall Warwick Summer Games 2011. Can you simply leave the fray after being so close to the top spot? Join forces with our fresh blood and maybe make a few new friends this year! Word has it that even our President is getting down and dirty in the bloody and cutthroat game of Scrabble. So what are you waiting for? Every war needs its veterans. On a final note, sorry for the logo not loading in the previous KnT, it can now be found on our website at the link below. And please sign up for the Freshers' Walkabout if you are available to help out. Thank you! Your friendly secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1.

Ski Trip 2012 News about the much awaited annual Imperial Ski Trip has finally arrived! This year, in commemoration of the ICSS’s 30th Anniversary, we have managed to secure an irresistible package with highly attractive perks specially for our members! This December, we will be headed for the snow-sure and picturesque French town of *Tignes*. Located at an altitude of over 3000m, Tignes boasts over 300km of pistes and off-pistes and is part of one of the world’s largest ski areas, Espace Killy. Tignes promises to be all that you might expect of a ski resort, and more! After all, what would you expect of the host of the 1992 Winter Olympics and 2013 Winter X-Games? Now, this might seem like something for veteran ski enthusiasts only. Rest assured, however, as our resort this year has a multitude of slopes of varying levels of difficulty to cater to folks of all abilities, from those who have never seen ski blades before to those who would strap them on and speed off the moment they hit the slopes. Do note that it is highly like that the majority of our participants will be amateurs, so if you’re worried about being seen (or caught on video) slipping and falling in an unglam fashion time and again, well, you’ll definitely not be alone! For those who think that a whole week of skiing is way too much, there is an assortment of activities available at the resort and places to visit in the nearby town to keep you entertained non-stop if you so wish, such as pool, swimming, TV, bars and restaurants. Details of the package are provided below. ·* 14th December 2012* (Friday evening, last day of Autumn Term) to *23rdDecember 2012 * (Sunday early morning) – back in London in time for Christmas and the Boxing Day sales!!! · All-time low price of *£465* – package includes: o 7 nights’ accommodation (4-bed rooms) o Return coach travel (including ferry crossings, fuel/toll charges, tourist taxes) o 6 days equipment hire (ski/snowboard equipment) o All meals (buffet) o 6 days full area lift pass (Espace Killy) o 12 hours instruction (2 hours a day) o Custom-designed T-shirt o Evening entertainment programme (optional) In accordance with our 30th Anniversary celebrations, we will be giving priority to ICSS members and their family and friends for sign-ups, as places are limited! This will be a fantastic opportunity for you to go on a holiday with friends or family, meet other ICSS members, or simply to get away from the dreary London winter and have a tremendously exciting week of fun and adventure, so mark these dates down in your calendar quickly! Do stay tuned, as sign-ups for this exclusive Ski Trip 2012 will be opening soon!

It is also one of the few places where you can have immediate and direct contact with some of the world's top CEOs and public leaders and where you are encouraged to give your opinion. We pride ourselves on creating an environment that is able to attract, develop, excite and retain exceptional people. As one of the world's leading management consultancies, our goal is to provide distinctive and long-lasting performance improvements to our clients, who range from governments and multinationals to charities and entrepreneurial firms. Our work cuts across every business sector - from multimedia to energy, banking to retail, e-commerce to healthcare. As part of McKinsey Asia, our consultants are exposed to a broad set of professional and personal growth opportunities, a diverse group of talented international colleagues and Partners, and a vast spectrum of client situations that mirror the growth and excitement of Asia, all of which creates an unrivalled set of choices in how to shape one's own career path. *The Insight Asia-Pacific Programme* Insight Asia-Pacific offers a unique opportunity to learn about different techniques for solving problems and an insight into the day-to-day life of a consultant. The 3-day programme offers you the chance to meet consultants with diverse backgrounds from McKinsey’s Asia Pacific offices and work together in teams to solve a typical McKinsey case.
