Change in ICSS Membership Rules and MAJOR EVENT 2010!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hello! Thanks to all those who attended OGM 2009. We really appreciate your questions and feedback. They have given us much food for thought. We have taken note of several issues pertaining to membership as well as major event 2010. This mailer serves to inform all members about our decision to change the system. Firstly, we do know that **some Singaporeans have yet to sign up for ICSS membership but are attending our activities for free**. This is unfair to other members who have paid the 5 pound membership fee. Thus we have decided to impose a charge on non-members for future events. Members will be required to show their membership cards upon arrival at events, those who don't will have to pay at the door. We have printed membership cards for almost everyone, including those who haven't signed up online through the union website. The cards are only be given out once membership fees are paid. We apologise for the harsh implementation but we are required to hit a quota before being given the full union grant. Thus we urge everyone who reads this to sign up for ICSS membership online at http://e.groupspaces.com/click/t2mk-tspx-bpkzzicq2?u=http://www.imperialcoll.... **It is not all doom and gloom! The heavily subsidised Chinese New Year dinner will take place this year in the week of Feb 15 '10. That is a great incentive to sign up for membership! (YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH, WE KNOW YOU WANT TO) :P** Next it's regarding **Major Event 2010**. The storyline for the musical is already out! Our scriptwriters are James Chia and Tan Jia Jia, director will be Anna Lee (all 3 are freshers) and we have a **Year 5** Medic Victoria Tan who will be our lyricist. (Snrs who think you are too old to join?! Think again!!) We understand that many people feel left out of the decision making process. Nevertheless, we will still NEED ALL OF YOU to HELP OUT!!! We done the hard part. You all can just come down be the stars of the show! PRETTY EASY JOB! :) ***Acting*** Contact Kai Long at icss.events@gmail.com. You will be involved in performing on stage, there might be some singing involved (but you can tell us if you don't want to). The time commitment will be about 1 night per week for rehearsals after Christmas break, but this will increase nearer to the performance. ***Dancing*** Contact Dexuan at hong.dexuan@hotmail.com. You will be involved in dancing and choreographing (if you have the experience). The time commitment will be similar to that of actors. ***Music and Composing*** Contact Jasmine at jasmine.liu09@gmail.com or Anne at pickypoopoo@gmail.com. You will be involved in composing, arranging and performing the songs on performance day. Time commitment is 1 time a week to practice with the others, but time will be spent alone for the initial stages on composing. ***Singing*** Contact Jasmine at jasmine.liu09@gmail.com. You will be involved in performing some songs either solo (a few lines) or in a choir. Time commitment is uncertain for now because the songs have not been written but it should be an average of 1 time a week nearing the event. Please note that actors will be singing as well. ***Logistics*** Contact Bernadette at lee.bernadette@hotmail.com. You will be involved in constructing props and costumes prior to the event and changing the props for each scene during full-dress rehearsals and on the actual performance day. The time commitment will be once a week, but may increase nearer to the performance. ***Publicity*** Contact Bernadette at lee.bernadette@hotmail.com. You will be involved in designing the posters and publicity tools to enable us to sell our tickets to the students of Imperial and from other schools. Time commitment will be about once a week. **Be committed and passionate! Long hours at rehearsals?! The countless friendships are PRICELESS!!** *Please email the respective IC if you have interest of joining the various groups. The ICs will be meeting interested people sometime next week to provide more information on the job scope. One of which is the **audition for actors on 9th December 2009**! Details will be sent out only to those who express interest because we do not want to flood everyone's inboxes. However, there will also be a **MASS GATHERING on 16th December 2009 (Wednesday) for EVERYONE** to inform you guys about the storyline as well as introduce the actors and scriptwriters etc. It will be held after school, the exact time and venue will be confirmed soon.

Singapore Playhouse London presents: Wills & Secession ----------------------------------------------------------------- Singapore Playhouse London is back this year with "Wills and Secession", the second instalment of the "Invitation to Treat" trilogy by Singaporean playwright Eleanor Wong. A story about identity, faith, sexuality, love, and family, the play revolves around Ellen Toh, a lesbian lawyer; her partner Lesley; and Ellen's conservative Christian sister, Grace. Tensions rise when Grace has to persuade Ellen (and by extension, Lesley) into returning to Singapore to take care of their ailing father after their mother passes away. Lesley herself is dying of cancer, and as she approaches her final days, the three women bond in their struggle to reconcile personal inclinations, familial obligations, and society's expectations.
