Major Event 2016 Hello everyone!!! :) I hope your summer break is going well ^^ Sojourn has just ended, but sign ups for Major Event 2016 are open once again! To my dear freshers, I know many of you have signed up for various teams way back at the Pre-Departure Talk. For those who haven't, now is the chance! Also, if some of you have spoken to your seniors and want to join new teams on top of your current ones, go ahead !! ^^ I would particularly like to invite everyone to join the Cast team! Having watched all your skits from Sojourn, I am confident to say that we're brimming with hilariously charismatic actors and actresses! No experience is needed, and it'll be a once in a lifetime experience to take on a different persona un university, because like I said, EVERYONE has the potential to be someone they're not ;) To my dear peers and seniors, many of you have participated in Major Event in one way or another over the years. As a fresher last year, my experience was definitely made much more enjoyable by seniors who participated and became my Big Korkors and Jiejies! Come join us again as we make this year's stage play as enjoyable as before! Click HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…> to SIGN UP!! For a look at what teams you can join, click HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>! Alternatively, if you have other queries, you can contact me personally at majorevent(a)ic-singsoc.net. We know that Major Event is more than a stage production. If Sojourn is the spark for friendships, Major Event is when we pour a whole lot of oil to keep the passion burning! And for seniors in the last year, why not end your time in Imperial with fireworks? :) Your creative MEO, Nic ;) 7. Ski Trip Hey everyone! ICSS will be organising its annual ski trip in France for a week, with lots of fun, snow, skiing and eating!

Transport is provided via bus and buffet style meals are catered so be prepared to eat all you can.
