To take part in the competition, simply send:
1. A photo of the dish with a caption that describes how it relates to the theme "Homecoming"
2. A photo of everyone who prepared the dish, together with the dish
3. The names of all who prepared the dish

You may stand to win one of the following awards!

• 'Closest to Home' Dish (Best relation to the theme)
• Most Popular Dish (Most number of Facebook 'likes')
• Best Caption (Rather self-explanatory^^)

Do take note that entries must be prepared by ICSS members of different years of study, and that no precooked food from restaurants or instant meals are allowed. Judging will be done by the ICSS Exco and the results of the competition will be released at the ICSS OGM on the 7th of November 2012!

Your not at all wicked events officer,

Getting sick of the ever-hectic city life in London? Want to head somewhere to relax but don’t know where to go? We’ve got the solution for you!

Introducing this year’s autumn trip to... -drum roll- ... Canterbury! (:  

It’s time to ditch your books for a day, because ICSS is organising a trip out to south-east England, Canterbury, on 24^th November, Saturday for a fun-filled day of exploration and sightseeing! Take this chance to release all that stress accumulating this term, with your friends/ hallmates/ housemates /anyone from Imperial! All you need to do is sign up, be there to board the bus on time and we’ll do the rest!

"But but but, what can you do at Canterbury?" You may ask. Well, this city promises plenty!

Once at Canterbury, one definitely must visit the Canterbury Catherdral, one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England. This cathedral has a rich history and is well known for the murder of then archbishop, Thomas Becket. After a visit to the cathedral, head over to St Augustine’s Abbey, another well-known place where Eadbald, the King of Kent was buried. If churches aren't your thing, you can always head off to see the Norman castle or go for a city tour known as the Canterbury Tales. If you need a break, you can head over to The Goods Shed for a wide variety of food or simply enjoy your high tea at Tiny Tim’s Tearoom. You can end off by taking some photos at the West gate, the largest surviving city gate in England with a road that leads to London.

For more details on what to do or see, visit our website at bit . ly/Autumn_2012.

So what are you waiting for? Quickly grab your friends to join you on this trip! Sign up here. Don’t wait as it’s first come first serve! We will be departing from Beit Quadrangle at 8am strictly and will reach back at London at 830pm (estimated). Sign ups will close on 27^th October, Friday. Please note that only ICSS members will get to enjoy discounted prices for this trip! If you have any queries, just direct them to me at eventsofficer2@ic-singsoc.net.

See you there! (:

Your friendly events officer,
Qian Wen! (:

Here's a big thank you to everyone for your enthusiastic support for the ICSS Ski Trip 2012! Due to the overwhelming number of sign-ups, we are no longer able to accommodate any more sign-ups. However, Imperial College students and their friends and family members who have signed up before this will be guaranteed places on the trip. If you wish to be placed on the waiting list, you may still register your interest at the same link as before (Ski Trip 2012 Preliminary Sign-Up), and we will let you know as soon as additional places are available (do note that there is already a considerable number of people on the waiting list). For all those who have already signed-up, an email with the booking link should have already been sent out to you. All further correspondences will be through email. Contact Bennett at vice-president@ic-singsoc.net if you have any queries.

Hello fellow Singaporeans,

It’s once again time to sign up for ICSS membership. Although it costs a mere £5, your combined contributions will go a long way in funding our events. Furthermore, we need the membership numbers so that we can receive funding from the union to better support our events.

In addition, members enjoy healthy discounts in many of our events such as Ski Trip, Chinese New Year Reunion dinner, and our trips to various parts of the UK. Less healthy discounts would comprise the restaurant partnerships, including Chinatown favourites Rasa Sayang, Gold Mine, Four Seasons, and many more.

If you believe in what we do, to create a home away from home, please sign up here! Contact us if you have any enquiries.

Sincerely,
The 30^th Executive Committee
