Warwick Summer Games - Thank you everyone! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a message from our Sports Officer, Yuxiang, on behalf of the Exco: Hello everybody, This is your very proud Sports Officer, writing for the first time since WSG. Last Saturday (3 Sep) was an extremely exciting and fruitful day for ICSS despite the gloomy outlook initially. Our Team Imperial's recruitment process faced a tough start this summer. The Exco registered for only 5 teams (1 for each sport) for WSG, and had difficulties even filling them up. But support from Freshers grew over time, especially after Sojourn! Special thanks to the enthusiastic ones who came to me volunteering to form full teams on their own! We eventually fielded 7 teams, forming the **largest contingent** this year. I'm extremely honoured to say that despite our not-so-optimistic start, our teams brought us many pleasant surprises this WSG: **Floorball Team A** emerged as ***Champions*** after a close battle with arch-rivals LSE; **Football Team A** and the **Basketball team** reached the finals and clinched the ***Runners-up positions***; our mainly-beginners **Netball team** also displayed extraordinary skills and perseverance as they fought more experienced teams to emerge as ***2nd runner-up***. Deserving equal emphasis and respect, our Football Team B, and mostly-beginners Floorball Team B and Touch Rugby team put up great fights and treated the audiences to equally exciting matches, though they lost their critical matches by a mere couple of points. * View image: * <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/158895/3w7wtzWIFw4kxBnHeSJP/321919_10150782168475468_689260467_20591381_748043343_o.jpg?view&size=mw> (Our Netball girls clinching 2nd runner-up in the Warwick Summer Games) Although we missed the "Overall Champion School" title by just a few points, I'm proud to say that this is probably some of the best performances of Team Imperial in the recent years! As I congratulate the players for their fantastic play, I also wish to applaud the non-competitors who lent us our support by being there to cheer for us. The home-ground-like atmosphere would certainly be different if your cheers were not present! Finally, I definitely would like to witness these remarkable display of passion, perseverance and unity in future ICSS events, particularly in the upcoming Lavish and Nottingham Games! :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Freshers' Pick-up and Hall walkabout (1 Oct 2011) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Freshers, Within these few days, most of you (who have chosen to stay in halls) should have received your email from the Accommodation Office regarding your Hall allocations. If you have gotten into somewhere you really wanted to - congratulations! If not – do not worry too much too and always keep an open mind, as you will certainly adapt into wherever you end up staying! As mentioned during our Pre-departure talk, we are offering a pick-up coach service exclusively for all ICSS Freshers. This pick-up service would take you from London Heathrow Airport **directly to the doorsteps of your hall**, with maximum comfort and minimal hassle. The service is estimated to cost about **10-15 pounds**, which is definitely much cheaper than a London Black Cab (~40 pounds) and saves you the trouble of transiting around on the London Tube. The service is mainly catered for people arriving on **SQ322**, reaching **London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3** at **0555h on 1 Oct 2011** (London time). There should be other flights arriving around this time too (e.g. BA0012, BA0016), so if your flight arrives before 0555h, feel free to indicate your interest for this pick up as well! Fill up the form with your details at http://bit.ly/fresherspickupform. *Take note that the pick-up service would be on **first-come-first-serve** basis, so fill up the form as soon as possible to secure a seat on the coach!* For those who are **reaching London either earlier or have booked a flight some other time**, do also fill up the form with your **hall information** so as to facilitate the organization of activities for Freshers in the coming academic year. If you would also fill in your flight information, I could help you check if there might be seniors on the same flight who can help you get to your hall. Feel free to drop me an email at secretary@ic-singsoc.net if you have any more queries regarding the Freshers' pick-up! :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **To all ex-Hall seniors:** If you are interested to help out in bringing around our Freshers' on the hall walkabout on 1 Oct, kindly drop Shun Ying an email at secretary@ic-singsoc.net by 16 Sept with your name, UK contact no and your previous hall. We would get back to you again shortly with more details regarding the walkabout! Thank you :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Charisma Mastery Class ----------------------------------------------------------------- You may not have your Bachelor's degree just yet, but here's your chance to get a Master's... in Charisma!  *cue applause* InQueenz by Genecia Luo has offered to host a **Charisma Mastery class** exclusively catered for students, on the **15th of September**, from **2 to 5pm**, at 195 Pearl's Hill Terrace.  For more information, do check out their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/CharismaMastery This class will impart important lessons in poise, comportment and confidence, so don't miss out on this opportunity!
