End of term winter party

Hi everyone,

We are planning on doing some sort of winter party/get-together once exams are over (and hopefully before you guys head home for the holidays). Possibly some sort of food get-together or potluck, with a fencing movie, board games and Nintendo Wii party games for us to play with. Possible dates include December 17, 18, 19, 20 or 21.

I just set up a Doodle page so it'll be easier for everyone to let us know when they are free. A winter party date has not been set yet. I want to set one up on a day which fits most people's schedules. Please fill in the Doodle page by December 10th.

If you want to come to the winter party, please fill this doodle page out: http://doodle.com/gadbew9s35cbr2pd

By-elections - November 8, 2010

Hi everyone,

We are holding a club by-election on Monday, November 8, 2010.

The positions of Secretary and Vice-President are currently vacant, so we will be having an election at the start of practice. If you are interested in running, please be prepared to give a speech about why you should be elected. If you cannot make it and still want to run, you can email your speech to us and we will read it out for you.
