Hope that school has been going well 😊 As for me, my new (school) year's resolution was to not fall asleep and class and to attend all of my lectures and I am proud to say that I lasted 2 full days! That is one more day than last year 🥳 Tired from school? Well, take a well-deserved with the first event of this academic year - KILU+ Talks! Piqued your interest, have I?

Major Event Hello members, Just an update to our much-anticipated Major Event. With the worsening of the Covid-19 pandemic worsening in UK as well as the various restrictions and social distancing measures in place, it is regrettable to cancel our annual musical the coming academic year. The 38th ExCo would like to express our thanks to all members who have dedicated their effort and support in the event thus far. With that said, this does not mean you will not be able to showcase your skills and talents to other ICSS members. We are planning a new virtual event where members will be able to showcase their skills live on a virtual platform. Individual and group (up to 5 members) participation are open to all ICSS members. The 38th ExCo would like to gauge the interests of members in taking part in the event. Do note that the form (which you can find here<https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>) is purely to gauge the interest and does not confirm participation in the event. For more information, please email ICSS Major Event Officer Churn Hym (majorevent(a)ic-singsoc.net) Thank you and we are looking forward to seeing everyone showcase their talent(s)! Your tired-of-school-already Major Event Officer, Churn Hym 4. Happy Halloween! [https://mcusercontent.com/d91a1cb130f12317830464586/images/6746b5a0-1665-49…] Hello everyone! Wishing you all a very 👻 Spooky Happy Halloween 👻 Unfortunately, for safety reasons, we are unable to hold a Halloween party this year. However, this does not mean that you can't have fun and enjoy the festivities! Halloween is as good a time as any to dress up 👕 or put your culinary skills to the test and whip up a Halloween-inspired dish 👨🏻‍🍳 Most importantly, please stay safe and take care!
