The next sport session, and final one before Nottingham Games, will involve Floorball and Netball.

The session will be on *2 Nov 2011 (Wed), 4-6 pm at Wilson House*. To fully maximise the booking, and your playing times (especially when we only have 1 hour for each sport), please arrive early and ready to play by 4pm! For the sportsmen and sportswomen in the Floorball and Netball Nottingham Games Teams, do your best to attend your last official training slot in our calendar. Although the focus would be tilted towards training for the Nottingham teams, non-competitors are still welcome. Do join us and help train up our athletes! See you there. :) ------------------------------ 5.

Hyde Park Picnic (15 Oct 2011) The sun’s slowly going to sleep, but before he does that, we’re going to (try) enjoy his warm, loving embrace one last time before the looooong winter. It’s the annual ICSS Hyde Park Picnic! Held* this Saturday*, *15th October*, at (obviously) *Hyde Park*, from *1000 h* onwards, we’re going to have a lovely spread courtesy of the hard work of your seniors and Exco members (as usual). We’ll be meeting at the northern side of the Royal Albert Memorial, the big, golden, obiang ttm statue. The picnic itself will be near the *horse statue *(see photo below) in Hyde Park itself, so if you don’t see us at the Memorial it means we’re inside already and *YOU’RE LATE*. We’ll be having the following activities at the picnic: - Football - Frisbee - Touch Rugby - Captain's Ball - The annual ICSS phototaking session - do stay till the end of the picnic to be part of the photographic evidence for our event! Newcomers and experts are all welcome for these games! If you’d like to participate in any one of these sports, you can form your own teams, or sign up with Yuxiang by dropping him an email at sportsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net. <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/1i84r-1wpsf-1mu6mui9vh?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.…> Remember to *come dressed for sports* on the day itself to join in the fun! Some food would be provided for you guys, courtesy of your lovely Exco members, so do come down to taste our love. OGLs, do remember to *get your OG to bring sufficient food* for potluck during the picnic itself as well! *Wackiest Photo Competition * There’s plenty of things to see and do in Hyde Park, so we’re holding the Wackiest Photo Competition, and the theme is *Forever Love*. Simply take the wackiest photo you can think of, with anything in Hyde Park: it can be the statues, the benches, even the geese in the pond! After that, send it to eventsofficer1(a)ic-singsoc.net by *Sunday, 16th October* with a short description of how it fits with the theme, and await judging by none other than Fong himself. Remember, the funnier the photo, and the funnier the description, the more likely you are to win some very, very, VERY attractive prizes! See you at Hyde Park! :) ------------------------------ 2. ICSS Autumn trip (29 Oct 2011) The leaves are turning golden and the chill is coming in; it's autumn! Which also means it's time for the ICSS Autumn trip. This year, we'll be heading to lovely *Bristol *on the *29th of October, Saturday*. "But," you ask, "what's there to do in Bristol?" Glad you asked! Bristol has a whole host of attractions, besides visiting your friends in Bristol University. There's the Clifton Suspension Bridge and M Shed, a museum dedicated to what it has meant to live in the region from prehistoric times to the current 21st century. There's also at Bristol, a science and technology museum, as well as the Bristol Zoo and Aquarium, both of which need no further elaboration.

ICSS Fiesta 2011 Here's a message from our Events Officer, Qin Zheng: Hi everybody! I have heard of two halls that are already done with Fiesta and levelled up their culinary skills!

Now is also the time for you to *level up* your culinary skills. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing to you our casual event - **FIESTA!!!** In the previous year, we have observed a cooking culture heavily embedded in the Singaporean Freshers 2010-2011 (i.e our batch), and we would definitely love to pass on this special homely culture to our next batch of freshers. Fiesta is an event for ex-hall seniors to come together to cook and eat with our cutesy juniors currently living in the halls. Autumn is settling in, so what’s better than staying in the warmth of the kitchens, with seniors and freshers cuddling together, eating and talking crap? Freshers, if you are still in the process of polishing up your art of cooking, fret not! Please do not feel inferior because this will be your chance to learn the ropes from your seniors. * View image: * <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/186427/KlYwo_lIZUGBF8fO5GKD/fiesta.…> Of course, the main highlight of Fiesta is a mini competition among halls.

Freshers’ Walkabout: 1st Oct 2011 (Sat)** This would be a quick walkabout around each Hall, conducted by ex-Hall seniors, right after we have dropped the Freshers off at their Halls. If you would like to make a good first impression to our Freshers, this is the best chance for you to **provide tips and advice** to them for life in and around your ex-Hall. Who knows, if you are missing that kick-ass Foosball table or the feeling of huddling together in the cosy little Hall kitchen next time, they would be your key (literally) to the end of your terrible longing.

Warwick Summer Games - Thank you everyone! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a message from our Sports Officer, Yuxiang, on behalf of the Exco: Hello everybody, This is your very proud Sports Officer, writing for the first time since WSG. Last Saturday (3 Sep) was an extremely exciting and fruitful day for ICSS despite the gloomy outlook initially. Our Team Imperial's recruitment process faced a tough start this summer. The Exco registered for only 5 teams (1 for each sport) for WSG, and had difficulties even filling them up. But support from Freshers grew over time, especially after Sojourn! Special thanks to the enthusiastic ones who came to me volunteering to form full teams on their own! We eventually fielded 7 teams, forming the **largest contingent** this year. I'm extremely honoured to say that despite our not-so-optimistic start, our teams brought us many pleasant surprises this WSG: **Floorball Team A** emerged as ***Champions*** after a close battle with arch-rivals LSE; **Football Team A** and the **Basketball team** reached the finals and clinched the ***Runners-up positions***; our mainly-beginners **Netball team** also displayed extraordinary skills and perseverance as they fought more experienced teams to emerge as ***2nd runner-up***. Deserving equal emphasis and respect, our Football Team B, and mostly-beginners Floorball Team B and Touch Rugby team put up great fights and treated the audiences to equally exciting matches, though they lost their critical matches by a mere couple of points. * View image: * <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/158895/3w7wtzWIFw4kxBnHeSJP/321919_…> (Our Netball girls clinching 2nd runner-up in the Warwick Summer Games) Although we missed the "Overall Champion School" title by just a few points, I'm proud to say that this is probably some of the best performances of Team Imperial in the recent years! As I congratulate the players for their fantastic play, I also wish to applaud the non-competitors who lent us our support by being there to cheer for us. The home-ground-like atmosphere would certainly be different if your cheers were not present! Finally, I definitely would like to witness these remarkable display of passion, perseverance and unity in future ICSS events, particularly in the upcoming Lavish and Nottingham Games! :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Freshers' Pick-up and Hall walkabout (1 Oct 2011) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Freshers, Within these few days, most of you (who have chosen to stay in halls) should have received your email from the Accommodation Office regarding your Hall allocations. If you have gotten into somewhere you really wanted to - congratulations! If not – do not worry too much too and always keep an open mind, as you will certainly adapt into wherever you end up staying! As mentioned during our Pre-departure talk, we are offering a pick-up coach service exclusively for all ICSS Freshers. This pick-up service would take you from London Heathrow Airport **directly to the doorsteps of your hall**, with maximum comfort and minimal hassle. The service is estimated to cost about **10-15 pounds**, which is definitely much cheaper than a London Black Cab (~40 pounds) and saves you the trouble of transiting around on the London Tube. The service is mainly catered for people arriving on **SQ322**, reaching **London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3** at **0555h on 1 Oct 2011** (London time). There should be other flights arriving around this time too (e.g. BA0012, BA0016), so if your flight arrives before 0555h, feel free to indicate your interest for this pick up as well! Fill up the form with your details at http://bit.ly/fresherspickupform. *Take note that the pick-up service would be on **first-come-first-serve** basis, so fill up the form as soon as possible to secure a seat on the coach!* For those who are **reaching London either earlier or have booked a flight some other time**, do also fill up the form with your **hall information** so as to facilitate the organization of activities for Freshers in the coming academic year. If you would also fill in your flight information, I could help you check if there might be seniors on the same flight who can help you get to your hall. Feel free to drop me an email at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net if you have any more queries regarding the Freshers' pick-up! :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **To all ex-Hall seniors:** If you are interested to help out in bringing around our Freshers' on the hall walkabout on 1 Oct, kindly drop Shun Ying an email at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net by 16 Sept with your name, UK contact no and your previous hall. We would get back to you again shortly with more details regarding the walkabout! Thank you :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Charisma Mastery Class ----------------------------------------------------------------- You may not have your Bachelor's degree just yet, but here's your chance to get a Master's... in Charisma! *cue applause* InQueenz by Genecia Luo has offered to host a **Charisma Mastery class** exclusively catered for students, on the **15th of September**, from **2 to 5pm**, at 195 Pearl's Hill Terrace.

ICSS Table Soccer Facebook Group! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a call-out about our ICSS Table Soccer group from Bryan: Hey people! Iif you love the sacred art of **table soccer/foosball**, look no further! Noobs and Pros are both welcome and there will be friendly matches where we can all exchange tips and tricks. We also have access to some great tables in SG and London so it will be a great opportunity for some fun and intense matches. To join, simply type **ICSS Table Soccer** <http://on.fb.me/icsstablesoccer> in **Facebook** and join the group. We will then keep you updated on the latest happenings and meet ups from there! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 6.

This camp could never have taken off without all your hard work. We have so much to say to you people because we can never thank you enough. To sum it all up, recall the story of the three stonecutters and relate Sojourn to the idea of building a Cathedral. At the end of the day, with the help from all of you Incredibles, together with our common goal, beliefs, mutual support and sweat (exceptional amount of it especially in this sunny weather), we have successfully constructed a Cathedral. Most importantly, we are building a family whose members would all reap from the shade of this Cathedral, and built up the groundwork to forge bonds that could last long after our Imperial school life. In addition, to all the freshers who are reading our weekly newsletter Kaya and Toast for the first time, we would like to say a big thank you to all of you for being such an enthusiastic bunch during Sojourn 2011. You have successfully gone through the initiation ceremony of the Imperial College Singapore Society (aka Sojourn) and are officially a part of our big family. Welcome to our Imperial Singaporean family! :) Brothers and sisters, do look forward to more exciting adventures and events with us that will bring our ICSS family closer together this coming academic year! * View image: * <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/149152/4njJpniTCj9Imk8qUR3d/DSC0099…> >From the Exco (including Joshua who is not in this photo): A big THANK YOU to all who has helped out in Sojourn 2011 in one way or another! :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

LSE London Freshers' Ball - Enigma ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fine young uns, I am Leonard Severn-Eugene, 23rd Earl of Tottenham, 2nd Baron of Southwark and the first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. It has come to my attention that a group of young students are planning to come to my county in the fine month of October, to embark on a great adventure far away from their homes. I would therefore invite you to my mansion on the night of **October Fourth**, when I will be hosting my **grand masquerade ball, Enigma**. The ball will start at **seven and a half strokes past midday** and the after-ball party starts on the stroke of midnight. I have prepared the finest cuisine from around the world, and have engaged a world renowned connoisseur of music to set the mood for the night. Let it be known, however, that as Earl of Tottenham and Baron of Southwark, I would only allow the finest ladies and gentlemen to set foot on my territory. You will be required to be in your finest garments and the most exquisite mask to obscuire your identity, and if you fail to impress, I shall be none so pleased. I look foward to having your company at my ball. Yours, Leonard Severn-Eugene (L.S.E.)
