1. Ordinary General Meeting 2020
Hey everyone!
We have concluded our Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) on 21st Dec, 2020. 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. We took a look at the past events held over summer 2020 and the first term of school, as well as potential upcoming events (we hope you are excited for them!)
3. 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 those who are interested to perform, you can sign up here<https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>! You will stand a chance to win attractive prizes and meet new friends from ICSS, so what are you waiting for?
5. 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. If you are not already part of the Discord, you can join using the link here: https://tinyurl.com/ICSSDiscord<https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>.

2. 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!

[https://mcusercontent.com/d91a1cb130f12317830464586/images/97799d17-36f3-47…]
Hello everyone!
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!

4. 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. Thank you and we look forward to your responses!
Thank you!

Hey everyone!
In the blink of an eye, we are less than a month away from the end of the Autumn term. I, too, have been blinking my eyes for several hours in a row while lying on my bed during class.
For those who are in London, do remember to put on more layers when/if you leave house for the occasional grocery trip! For those in Singapore, a gentle reminder to bring along an umbrella to deal with the weather (getting stuck in the rain was not fun! The water was not even clean)
KILU+ Talks is happening this week! Do join us for a fun afternoon/evening of meeting new people. Sign ups are still open, so do not wait any longer!
Pulling your hair out thinking about your future? Keep your eyes peeled for ICSS's next event, the ICSS Career Exchange (ICE)! Do look out for more details, which will be released soon.
That is all from me for now. Take care, drink lots of water, and remember to have a regular sleep schedule!

This event aims to connect you with Singapore Society members from close-by universities in London so that you can make new friends and learn about other schools! You will be randomly sorted into Breakout Rooms consisting of 3-4 people. There will be 4 rotations in total, each lasting around 15 minutes.

3. 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

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!

Digest
Hey all!
I know I have already said three times already, but school is starting soon! This is the last issue before the school term officially begins on 3rd October, so we hope that everyone is very excited to continue our journey of lifelong learning :-)
To all the freshers, you should have received your hall allocations by now. Due to UK's regulations regarding social gatherings, we are unable to carry out the yearly airport shuttle services and hall walkabouts. However, do not worry as we will be creating a hall guide and WhatsApp group for all of you, so sit tight and look out for it!
In addition, as dictated by the Union, all in-person events will be suspended until further notice. As such, we are coming up with new events for you all. Do read on to find out more about our newest event - KILU Talks!
That is all for now. See you all next time!
Your lack-of-sleep Secretary,
Yuyang
If I had 50 cents for every time I failed my math test, I would have $4.80

1. KILU Talks
Hi everyone! We will be holding a new online event, "KILU Talks". We would like to gather interest from you before confirming the details.
This event aims to connect SingSoc members from all 4 universities (KCL, ICL, LSE and UCL). The idea is to talk to around 2-3 people in each Zoom Breakout room before rotating to meet other people. That way you can get to know more people from the other London universities and make new friends! As such, we will appreciate it if you could fill up the interest form here<https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…> so that we can better plan this event.
The date has not yet been confirmed, but it will be at night (SGT) to accommodate for those already in London. This event will most likely be held in November.
We will have an official sign-up form in a few weeks' time with the confirmed details.
If you do have any questions, please do not hesitate to message Leanne (+65 86686666) or Gillian (+44 7472 546588). Thank you and we look forward to your responses!
Your want-to-make-'friends' EOs,
Gillian and Leanne
2. Suggestion Box
Hello there!
Autumn term is coming up, and with the current Covid-19 pandemic affecting both London and Singapore, many ICSS events have been cancelled or changed to fit the social distancing and social gathering requirements. The ExCo has been trying to come up with different events for the members, but we also would like to know what you want to see and do!
This form<https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…> will collect any suggestions for possible events that you want to see, or that you want to organise in the Autumn Term. These events can be held in either Singapore or London, or even online events that can allow everybody to participate. The suggestion can just be a rough idea and does not have to be super detailed. If you have a good idea for an event, we will contact you for additional details or give you support if you want to organise it yourself. Let us know your ideas and we will put it into action!
If you do have any questions, do not hesitate to WhatsApp message ICSS Vice-President Chern Heng (+44 7708 154995).
Looking forward to reading your suggestions!
The 38th ExCo
