Thank you for coming down to listen to our presentations! For those who missed it, the OGM was held to provide a recap of past events and give updates to new initiatives, keep our members informed about our society and a platform for our members to clarify any doubts and give constructive feedback so that we can serve you better. Below is a quick summary of the OGM: 1. A membership report was presented. In addition, we also shared the benefits that members will get to receive, which includes subsidy for sports, voting rights during elections, and member-exclusive events! If this sounds good to you, go ahead and get your (free) membership here<https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>! 2.

Updates for Ski Trip, which, unfortunately, would not be taking place this year. 4. Churn Hym presented the details for Major Event 2021, which will be held on 27th February 2021!

For Play@ICSS, the budget and expenditure for sports sessions held over the summer were presented. We also talked about our future plans once the government restrictions begin to relax, as well as our brand new Tag Along! initiative which would be rolled out, subject to the interest of our members as well as the guidelines for Phase 3. 6. The loaning procedure for ICSS Board Games Online was highlighted. Simply contact any ExCo member to borrow the account. The borrowing of board games in London will depend on the Covid situation, so stay tuned to our social media channels for updates! 7. A financial report was presented. 8. An update was presented on our various Liaison channels, such as Facebook, Website and the ICSS Travel Drive. While the travel drive will not see much usage in the near future, we hope that it will be useful to our members when the pandemic is over! 9. Lastly, we also shared about our brand new ICSS Games Discord! This Discord channel will be used for Games Night and other events in the future. You can also use it during your own free time to find people to play games with.

ICSS Christmas Party 2020 [https://mcusercontent.com/d91a1cb130f12317830464586/_compresseds/312da829-8…] Hi everyone! We understand that this Christmas might not be the most ideal one for many of you, so ICSS has decided to bring Christmas to you! Do join us on the 23 December 2020, 12:30PM (GMT)/8:30PM (SGT) and we assure you a fulfilling, relaxing and enjoyable afternoon/night! This year’s Christmas Event will consist of three parts: * Secret Santa Exchange * Christmas Party * Games/Karaoke/Movie screening Parts 2 and 3 will be both held on 23 December. 1. Pre-Event Secret Santa Exchange (Signup by 16 Dec) You will be allocated a “secret santa” as well as being one if you sign up. The budget for the gift is ideally around $10-$15/ £8-10. The home address of your recipient will be made known to you for you to mail/send the present. More details regarding information gathering are found in the form. * You must consent to putting your information online. However, only your secret santa will be able to see your home address, everyone else will not be able to. The Exco will not be keeping your addresses. Please fill the form by 16 December 2020 if you wish to participate in the exchange. 2. Christmas Party This section will be focusing on participating in Christmas-related activities as a society. The activities include games, breakout rooms, and other fun activities! 3. Games/Karaoke/Movie Screening By indicating your choices of games in the form, the Exco will allocate you and other players into games that you have in common. Genres include MOBA, FPS, Board/Card games (eg chess/mahjong). Alternatively, if you would rather chill and talk to others, you can opt to watch a movie screening or sing karaoke with your friends! This section will be held on Discord, and we will send a guide to you just in case you are not familiar with the platform. The game/activity you choose in the form is not final, as we will be looking at everyone’s interests and finalising the games/activities. By filling up the form here (https://tinyurl.com/icssxmas20<http://tinyurl.com/icssxmas20>), you will be signing up for the Christmas Party held on 23 December 2020. The Pre-Event Secret Santa Exchange and Games/Karaoke/Movie screening will require additional confirmation from you in the form. We hope to see you there to celebrate Christmas together!

A friendly reminder that the sign ups for ICSS's Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) is still open! This year has been a year filled with uncertainty (for a lack of a better word), and as such, the 38th Executive Committee would like to use this time and platform as a chance to look back at our past events and update members on our future plans. As such, we encourage everyone to sign up and drop by if you are free. In addition, you can also ask us your burning questions regarding how things are being run, and we will be more than happy to clarify and clear your doubts and queries. The details are as follows: Date: Monday, 21st December 2020 Time: 1300 - 1400 (GMT) | 2100 - 2200 (SGT) Platform: Microsoft Teams Sign up here<https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>! As mentioned previously, OGM 2020 will be followed by a games night, where you can hop onto Discord for everyone to have fun together and just relax as we welcome the Winter break. In addition, here is the agenda for OGM 2020. Be sure to drop by if any of these topics catch your eye! [https://mcusercontent.com/d91a1cb130f12317830464586/images/7682d600-b547-4c…] See you there!

Major Event [https://mcusercontent.com/d91a1cb130f12317830464586/images/f40dfbeb-a868-4d…] Greetings everyone, the long awaited Major Event (virtual) is scheduled to be held on Saturday, 27 February 2021. Major Event is a significant and traditional event dear to many of us. With a physical musical no longer feasible, the 38th ICSS Exco hopes to keep this legacy going and have decided to bring ME online in a completely different format. ME 2021 is a great chance for ICSS members to know each other on a more personal level and step out of their comfort zone amidst the busy schedules. Come showcase your hidden talents to other ICSS members as well as win attractive prizes! You may choose to form your own groups (up to 5 people) to perform or go solo although group performance is highly encouraged. If you do not have your own group but would like to join one, do indicate in the form and we can help to allocate you into one. For those who would like to form their own groups, you may choose to invite friends who are non-ICSS members to perform although each group would be allowed a maximum of 2 non-ICSS members. Should you require guidance in singing or playing your own music, we have our very own directors to assist and guide you along the way. Format: Groups may choose to conduct their own practices live or over virtual platforms. All participants must submit their official video recording (5 - 10mins) of their performance by 24 February 2021 which will be played on the actual day. Audiences (only ICSS members) will have the chance to vote for their favourite performance. The votes will be taken into account for awards such as "ICSSPopular", "ICSSTalented", etc. Their performances will be evaluated by a panel of friendly judges as well as the voting by the audience, so do get your friends to tune in and vote! If that doesn't entice you further, we have free T4 bubble tea (London) and Grab Vouchers (Singapore) for every participant that signs up. So, what are you waiting for, hurry on and sign up for ME2021 at https://tinyurl.com/ICSSME2021! For further enquiries, please email ICSS Major Event Officer Churn Hym (majorevent(a)ic-singsoc.net<mailto:majorevent@ic-singsoc.net>) or Whatsapp at +44 7789 384691.
