Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later." With each new academic year comes some uncertainties but this is where the fun lies so let's look forward to another year of adventure! :D* Content 1. Welcome Week <#m_3231020895662191351_1> 2. Ski Trip 2017 <#m_3231020895662191351_2> 3. Singapore Community Day 2017 <#m_3231020895662191351_3> 1. Welcome Week Hi freshers, I trust that you are excited for your first few weeks in London! There is a series of events lined up for you by ICSS in the coming weeks to help you get settled in, and here are just some of them that you can look forward to: 1. *Hall Walkabout (30 September 2017, 1300 - 1600)* For our undergraduates staying in halls, you can look forward to a short orientation tour around the neighbourhood and vicinity of your hall accommodations on your first day in Halls, conducted by seniors who had once lived in the same area as you! As this will also be the first day you will be spending in Halls, you will also be brought to the nearest supermarket for you to grab your daily necessities (e.g. kitchenware and bedding) during this walkabout. Your seniors will also be sharing some tips and tricks that will help you settle in more comfortably to life in London! This will also be the perfect chance for you to get to know the other Singaporeans who are also staying in the same hall as you so that you'll know which kitchens to crash when you smell Bak Kut Teh down the hallways! Details are as follows: *Date: 30 September 2017 (Move-in day) Time: 1300 - 1600* So freshers, if you haven't already signed up, click *HERE* <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…> to register your attendance with us so we know who to expect on the day itself; we don't want to leave without you! *Deadline for registration is 29 September 2017*. *2. Freshers' Fair (3 October 2017, 1100 - 1600)* Organised by the Imperial College Union, the Freshers' Fair is the equivalent of a "CCA Showcase" of Imperial's vibrant community and diverse interests. Have a nice walk around the campus picking up freebies (read: reusable grocery bags, post-it pads, pens and possibly even bubble tea), and don't forget to stop by our own Imperial booth! You might just walk home with some freebies from us as well! You can also find out more about other Imperial-wide events during your welcome week *HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>* for undergraduates or *HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>* for postgraduates. *3. OG Walkabout* Missing your OGmates already? To kick off your adventure in the UK, we will be going on an OG Walkabout! OG Walkabout is a day when your OG travels together for a day-trip to a location of your own choice, and you will be spending some quality time together exploring the UK! We have set aside the first weekend (*7 or 8 October 2017*) for your OG Walkabout, but if you prefer to have it on another day when more people can make it, go ahead! *4. Hyde Park Picnic* And... if you're tired of the rush and confusion of your first weeks in London (ikr, school again, seriously...?), or if you wanna fight the Freshers Flu with some fresh air and exercise, come join us at Hyde Park Picnic, right at the doorstep of Imperial! Enjoy the rare London sunshine, food, games, and seize the opportunity to chill out and relax with familiar faces and newfound friends! We've set aside the second weekend (*14 or 15 October 2017*) for the picnic, and we'll let you know the confirmed date soon! An exciting time awaits you in your first few weeks in Imperial, so I hope you're geared up and ready for your next adventure. Happy packing, and see you in London! Your already-in-London President, Bong 2. Ski Trip 2017 Hey everyone!!! I hope all of you are coping well with the summer heat.

Hang in there, it’s only 4 more months to winter! Hope to see you on the slopes then! Your missing-the-cold Vice President, Douglas 4. Message from the President Hi everyone!!! Our summer events calendar has finally come to a close with last week's UKBound at Stewords Riverboat! It has been yet another eventful summer, kicking off with our Pre-Departure Talk (PDT), followed by Sojourn, Warwick Summer Games (WSG) and finally UKBound. I hope that everyone has enjoyed the summer events, and that they have got you looking forward to more exciting times in London! On behalf of the 35th Executive Committee, I would like to sincerely* thank all the enthusiastic participants* of our summer events! First impressions count, and certainly the many seniors who turned up for our PDT showcased the impressive size and strength of our Singaporean community in Imperial to our incoming freshers and their parents. We then went on to give a big, warm Sojourn welcome to our freshers, inducting them into our family in a home away from home. Of course, all this was made possible because of the time and effort that the OGHs and OGLs put in, perhaps at the expense of their personal time with friends and family. We thank you for your sacrifices and contributions, for without you Sojourn would not have been the success that it was. And to our newly-inducted freshers, thank you for your enthusiasm and energy throughout our events, and a big welcome into our Imperial family! With our hearts full from Sojourn, we went on to put up a great fight at WSG! I'm sure that all our participants had a great time out on the fields and courts with your friends, and win or lose, we brought home an experience and a slightly more fitspo body. Finally, to end things off with a bang, we had UKBound, the ultimate party and finale to our events in Singapore! Revamped and refreshed, this year's UKBound brought students from universities all over the UK together for a night of food, fun and fantastic performances. The support we received from the Imperial community for this event was tremendous, and for that you have our utmost gratitude! I guess what I want to say is that for all of this summer's (mis)adventures, one thing is definitely for sure - you guys have been a *tremendous source of support*. Fresher or senior, you have made summer such an exciting and fulfilling one. Your support tells us that you believe in the things we do, and more importantly, it inspires us to continue doing our best for you and the larger ICSS family. We sincerely hope that you have thoroughly enjoyed yourself over the course of summer, and rest assured that the 35th EXCO will push on to bring you more meaningful events throughout the rest of our term. We also hope to have your continued support, for it is only when we work together that we can be one big happy family. Enjoy the rest of summer, eat more Singaporean food and I look forward to seeing everyone back in London!
