Digest
Hey everyone!
This is an extremely significant moment, because it is the first issue that the new batch of freshers will be receiving! This marks the start of their lives in ICSS, so let's warmly welcome all of them into the ICSS family!
To the freshers, The Kaya & Toast Times is our society's newsletter which will provide important information on everything that ICSS has to offer! We hope that this will help you stay updated with all the happenings in ICSS, and we strongly encourage you to immerse yourself in the events and activities that we will be planning for you!
There are lots of events that are happening during this period, as well as many offerings from ICSS, so do spend some time reading through this bumper issue! To make things easier, here is a brief summary of what's going on:
The last week has been an exciting one, with Sojourn and Warwick Summer Games recently concluding. We would like to thank Team Sojourn for all their hard work during Sojourn, and Team Imperial for fighting hard at WSG! We would also like to thank everyone for coming down to both events, and we hope you have enjoyed yourselves and made new friends! (:
ICSS is offering an overseas insurance package from AIG at a discount of 10%, which will be important should you run into any issues while in London! You can find more information on the package as well as the application form HERE. Please send the form to secretary@ic-singsoc.net by 31st Aug 2015 (Mon) if you are interested.
Coming up is the Alumni Event, a BBQ dinner to interact with the ICSS Alumni and hear their experiences, on 3rd Sep 2015 (Thu), 8 - 10pm at Keppel Club! Also, UKBound 2015 will be happening on 12th Sep 2015 (Sat), 7 - 10 pm at Zouk! Do join us for a night of fun and glamour, and of course to support our own Mr and Ms Imperial for the pageant!
Finally, although Ski Trip and Major Event will only happen in the school term, we are already opening signups for it! Ski Trip will be from 18 - 28 Dec 2015 at UCPA Les Arcs, and signups are on a first-come-first-serve basis, so do sign up HERE now! Also, Major Event 2016 will be a musical produced entirely by ourselves, and there are many teams that you can join to make this a reality, so sign up HERE for an awesome experience and lasting friendships!
That's all for today, have a great week ahead!
Your awesome Secretary,
Ben Chin (: |

1. Sojourn 2015
HI EVERYONE!
I hope you guys have enjoyed Sojourn 2015 and made manymanymany new friends! Sojourn would not have been possible without all my Team Sojourn members - the OGHs & OGLs, Game Masters, Media & Publicity, Ninjas, as well as my fellow Exco members. Of course, there wouldn't have been a Sojourn without you Freshers, so thank you for coming!
I hope you guys will continue to organise various OG events and meetups! Please like the ICSS Facebook Page HERE as we will be uploading our pictures there. Also, coming up soon is our very own pageant, UKBound, to be held at Zouk, so do come down as an OG to support our Mr and Ms Imperial!
See you guys soon!

Gao Ming

2. Warwick Summer Games
A very big thank you to everyone who came down yesterday to participate in Warwick Summer Games 2015, or to support your friends who were playing. Even though we did not emerge victorious in the games, we fought hard and did our best. What's more important are the fun we had playing and the friendships we made through the games!
For those who missed out on all the excitement and still wish to be part of it, feel free to join the sports interest groups' Facebook groups and drop by for their training sessions.
Hope you all rested well last night and I look forward to seeing you all in the upcoming Nottingham Winter Games!
Your smart Sports Officer,
 Paxton

3. AIG Overseas Insurance
Ever worried about having to replace your laptop if you lose it while travelling? Or paying for an air ticket home due to medical emergencies in your family? Or how about that hospital bill due to an accidental injury sustained during our exciting annual ski trip?
ICSS is offering an overseas insurance package from AIG at a discount of 10% and it is definitely one that will alleviate these worries for you. Here's what you should do if you are interested in the AIG overseas insurance package:
For those applying for the AIG Insurance package for the first time:

For those who signed up last year and are interested to recontract:
Email our secretary at secretary@ic-singsoc.net, and we will reply you with your form for the recontract. Do take note that if you applied for AIG last year but did not go through ICSS, you will have to fill in the AIG Student Assist Form again as we will not have your records.
HERE are the details for the AIG overseas insurance package for your reference, as well as the form for you to fill in! Do let us know your interest before 31 August 2015, so that we will have enough processing time!

6. 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 ;)

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

8. Imperial Tees
Dear all,
Thanks for your support for the Imperial TEES!
Your orders have been processed, and you should be receiving a confirmation email some time this week or the next, listing the collection and the payment details!
For those of you who indicated your collection in Singapore, the shirts are slated to be done in early September, and we will drop you an email then to tell you where you will be able to collect it from us!
For those of you who indicated your collection in London, it might take slightly longer for you to receive your shirt - but we will aim to let you guys collect them by the first week of term!
In the meantime, sit back, relax and enjoy all the other events ICSS has prepared for you!
Cheers,
The Imperial TEE Coordinator - Ivan TEE
