1. UKBound 2015
Hello everyone!
We successfully concluded UKBound 2015 - Wish on 12 September where we crowned Mr Imperial - Tin Jing Jie as UKBound King and Ms UCL - Fiona Heung as UKBound Queen! It was a hectic and tiring 3 months but we were glad that the entire event went smoothly and we hoped that everyone had a blast!
UKBound wouldn't have been possible without many of our ICSS members who put in their time and effort during the trainings and on the actual day. On behalf of the 33rd ExCo, I would like to sincerely express our gratitude and appreciation to those who helped out, in particular: Ben Yong, Bryan, Chloe, Hong Rui, Leon, Piramol, Sameer, Shayna, Yi Sheng, Zeguang.
We would also like to thank our very own Mr Imperial - Tin Jing Jie and Ms Imperial - Rachel Ee for being so sporting and representing us in this pageant - you guys were awesome! Lastly, thank you to everyone who came down to support us at UKBound 2015 and we look forward to seeing you guys for UKBound 2016 next year! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Your funny Events Officer,
Wei Yan

3. Major Event 2016
Hello everyone!!! :)
I hope your summer break is going well ^^ Sojourn has just ended, but sign ups for Major Event 2016 are open once again!
To my dear freshers, I know many of you have signed up for various teams way back at the Pre-Departure Talk. For those who haven't, now is the chance! Also, if some of you have spoken to your seniors and want to join new teams on top of your current ones, go ahead !! ^^
I would particularly like to invite everyone to join the Cast team! Having watched all your skits from Sojourn, I am confident to say that we're brimming with hilariously charismatic actors and actresses! No experience is needed, and it'll be a once in a lifetime experience to take on a different persona un university, because like I said, EVERYONE has the potential to be someone they're not ;)
To my dear peers and seniors, many of you have participated in Major Event in one way or another over the years. As a fresher last year, my experience was definitely made much more enjoyable by seniors who participated and became my Big Korkors and Jiejies! Come join us again as we make this year's stage play as enjoyable as before!
Click HERE to SIGN UP!! For a look at what teams you can join, click HERE! Alternatively, if you have other queries, you can contact me personally at majorevent@ic-singsoc.net.
We know that Major Event is more than a stage production. If Sojourn is the spark for friendships, Major Event is when we pour a whole lot of oil to keep the passion burning! And for seniors in the last year, why not end your time in Imperial with fireworks? :)
Your creative MEO,
Nic ;)

4. Ski Trip
Hey everyone!
ICSS will be organising its annual ski trip in France for a week, with lots of fun, snow, skiing and eating! Apart from ICSS members, we are also inviting friends from all schools in the UK, because we want it to be a week of fun for Singaporeans and to give everyone the opportunity to meet students from other UK schools.
Transport is provided via bus and buffet style meals are catered so be prepared to eat all you can. With 7 days of skiing or snowboarding and optional lessons for the uninitiated, there's a place for everyone on the slopes of the UCPA Les Arcs, the resort we will be staying at!
Date: 18 - 28 December 2015
Price: £549 (+£5 for non-ICSS members)
Do sign up HERE. Payment will be done at a later date, but you should indicate interest early! Signups will be on a first come first served basis, though priority will be given to ICSS members. More details can also be found through the link, but if you have any unanswered questions, feel free to email Ben Ng at vicepresident@ic-singsoc.net. See you on the slopes of Les Arcs!
Winter is coming.
Your loyal Vice President,
Ben Ng
