Updates Hi everyone, Firstly, ICSS memberships are available for purchase at the Union shop! If you have benefitted from ICSS in any way at all, and would like to support the society in what we do, please sign up below! The countless perks and exclusive privileges of being a member are also stated below. Secondly, many thanks to all who turned up for UKBound and making it a resounding success! Thirdly, Hyde Park picnic is upon us again! We have organized a massive picnic at none other than the beautiful Hyde Park. There will be food, drink, good company, and of course, sports! We will most probably be playing football, touch rugby, Frisbee, and captain’s ball, depending on the response. This is a good chance for you to meet Singaporeans from all batches, in the universal and "friendly" twin arenas of sport and food, amidst the cool autumn breeze, under the light autumn sun. Finally, check out the networking event organised by OSU and Contact Singapore on the 7th of October, the DBS talent programmes and the Citibank recruitment drive (deadline today!). Details below. P.S. Please note that the Ski Trip preliminary sign ups close *today, 28th of September*. We will be opening the bookings through the website soon, so look out for it in subsequent KnTs! Note that the website will have the official booking process, with payment to be made as well. Hence if you have already signed up through our Google doc, you will still have to book and make payment through the website.
