A new year, a new milestone ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dearest members,   It has undoubtedly been a great year. This year we hosted the London Games, tasted delicious food at Dragon Castle, started the External Partnership Scheme, had a summer blast with UKBound and Sojourn, and had all sorts of other amazing events. We are heartened by your support for our events, and without you, all of this would have never been possible.   Furthermore, in two weeks time we will be unveiling **'Ah! Yum'**, which will probably be the largest production attempted by the society as of yet. I hope everyone will show your support for this event by encouraging your friends within and outside the campus walls to come and witness the immense talent our members possess.   Even so, the main reason why I am writing to you is to inform you that we have passed a very crucial milestone for our society. It marks a new first for the society and it is with great joy that I share this piece of good news with you.   As of now, the **Imperial College Singapore Society is the largest Overseas Student Association within Imperial College, London with 196 registered members. We are also the largest Singaporean Student Association in the whole of UK, possibly Europe.**   This is probably the first time this has ever happened and it is all thanks to you, for supporting us through this year. We are now larger than other well known societies such as the Indian Society, which hosts East meets West and the Malaysian Society, traditionally known to be among the largest student bodies in the college.   Despite our size, let us not lose sight of the society's true purpose. May the society continue to prosper under future generations and continue to be a place where we can get to know one another in a relaxed environment, where we can share laughter and forge enduring friendships. Most importantly, let us continue to be a *home away from home* for future generations of Singaporeans that come to Imperial College.   On behalf of the 26th Executive Committee, I once again say,   *"Thank You."*     Yours sincerely,   Low Yon Jan 26th President ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
