Freshers' Picnic (16 Oct 2010) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Calling everyone in ICSS! The annual freshers' picnic is here again! What better way to spend a Saturday morning than in Hyde Park, chilling with your friends over a picnic and playing some sports. It will be plenty of fun and a unique experience to be together in everyone’s favourite park. This year, Singaporeans from all over London will be down in OUR park as well to have their picnics from 10 am onwards! We will be in close proximity to each other and so, feel free to “picnic hop” and check out the people from other Unis. There is even going to be interschool 'friendlies' so we need you there to represent ICSS! The various JC UK alumnis will be down as well so do drop by at their booths to find out more about them and their activities. A simple, hearty breakfast prepared by your EXCO will be provided too! In short.. Date & Time: 16 Oct 2010 - 9 am - 12 pm Venue: Hyde Park (meet at Albert Memorial Statue <http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Albert+Memorial,+Hyde+Park,+London,+United+Kingdom&hl=en&cd=1&ei=hs-0TLfTMdmQjAeEqZGnDg&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=3699884383717245228&iwloc=A&ved=0CCQQpQY&sa=X> and we will proceed to a nice patch of grass from there :)) Click here <http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144924485551161&ref=ts#!/event.php?eid=166258826720782> for our Facebook event page! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

Bryan ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ICSS Major Event 2011 - The search for Directors and Scriptwriters ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, The search for Directors and Scriptwriters for ICSS Major Event 2011 continues. Major Event serves the purpose of bringing Imperial Singaporeans from different years, courses, halls and OGs together and it is the biggest and most rewarding event for our Singsoc members every year. Last year, ICSS did a musical which was well-received by our audience and was also a highly fulfilling experience for the participants. For 2011, we will once again be doing a musical for Major Event. This musical will be anchored by the Freshers, and we hope to see the various roles (from directors and scriptwriters to actors and backstage crew) taken up enthusiastically by our Freshers. While the event will be held in March, we are now beginning to ask for helpers for all roles, especially directors and scriptwriters who will generate the script and set the stage right. Assistance and guidance will be provided by your lovely seniors. To those who are interested in joining in the Major Event 2011, especially as directors and scriptwriters, please contact your dear Events Officer - Shuren or Sid - at eventsofficer@ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011 for more information. Seniors who are keen on offering your expertise in the various fields are also more than welcome to join in. Do contact Shuren and Sid to express your interest as well. Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ICSS Fiesta! - Starting next week ----------------------------------------------------------------- The much publicised inaugural ICSS Fiesta begins **next week**! All seniors are invited to return to their 1st year Halls to join the new freshers in preparing a feast to kick off the term. The best part is, the ICSS is *subsidizing your feast*! To make things a little more exciting, we will be running an ICSS Fiesta Food Photography competition! Before you devour all the scrumptious dishes you have prepared, take the whackiest photos of the food / your group with the food / your group preparing the food. Let your creative juices flow alongside the delicious juices and stand a chance to win delicious Singaporean commodities which will definitely come in useful in the victory feast. :-) ***Start now*** and organize your fellow hallmates to get together either with your senior batch (if you know them, freshers) or with your junior batch (for seniors) to decide on WHEN / WHAT / HOW you are going to win this competition! Seniors require contact information with the Freshers who have just shifted into your ex-hall can email Yu Leng at secretary@ic-singsoc.net. * **Fiesta period**: 18th to 31st October 2010 * **Deadline for competition**: 31st October 2010 * **Competition Categories:** Whackiest Photo, Best Caption, Most Halloweenish * **Subsidies (*):** 5-10 people - 5 pounds, 10-20 people - 10 pounds, 20 and above - 20 pounds (*) The subsidy is a lump sum not a *per pax* subsidy. The subsidy will also depend on the headcount of the number of people in the photos submitted for the competition. Therefore, **you have to submit legitimate photos in order for the subsidy to be processed**. If you should have any queries, please feel free to email Shuren at eventsofficer@ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011.  ----------------------------------------------------------------- 6.

So bring your compact cameras (optional), DSLRs (optional), lenses (optional), tripods (optional) and we'll go around Hyde Park shooting (not literally) everything! Remember, all levels of noob-ness welcome and all sizes of cameras (even cheap or point and shoot ones) welcome. We will be attempting to cover basic compositional techniques when it comes to shooting landscapes and water birds (maybe quirky people and dogs around Hyde Park), and if you just got a DSLR for your stay in London but have no idea what the buttons mean, we can set that straight as well. :) * Date: 16th October * Time: 1200 noon onwards * Equipment List: At least a camera Jun Ying     ----------------------------------------------------------------- 9. UCL Singapore Society Halloween Boat Party - Fright Ferry (26 Oct 2010) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone! Alright folks, one of the next few events on SingSoc's calendar is the upcoming UCL 'Fright Ferry' Boat Party on the 26th of October! Tickets are going quick but ICSS members will be able to buy the ticket at only £12 (instead of the general £15 price!). The UCL Boat Party is an annual event organized by the UCL Singsoc committee and being united and all, every other Singsoc is invited on board! It will be great if we could all go down as a society from Imperial down to party with our greater London friends on that night. The boat party also has a halloween theme so it's your chance to really dress up! I'll really like to encourage you to dress up because it can be really fun/funny!  Some ideas: the standard zombie/monster/witch/dracula, maybe a cartoon character, a whacky or uber cool superhero? Or if you're really uncreative, just get a huge box, cut some holes in it and climb in!  Here are the details about the event itself:   * When: 26th October 2010 * Where: On a boat on River Thames. Where exactly to meet, don't worry, I'll keep you guys updated! * How much: £12 (if you order soon through us!) * Capacity: 250 guests maximum! So tickets are limited! * Facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=144924485551161 <http://www.facebook.com/home.php#%21/event.php?eid=144924485551161>  <-- do remember to RSVP if you're going!
