TREASURE HUNT

First off, thanks a million for your participation in the BBQ last Sunday. The turnout was just awesome!

Some pics of the events (courtesy of Jun Yeu):

To the winners of Hoytz movie tickets from the ice-breaking games, Congratulations!


To the others who participated, don't be dishearten. Your enthusiasm was very much appreciated, and we assure you there will be plenty of choices to give it another go :D

********************************************************

Next up, The Annual Treasure Hunt!

Date: 21st March (Sunday)
Time: 12-3pm
meeting Point: North Court, Union House

And as ever, the event is free to all participants. And the prizes bigger than ever. So round up your mates, five or six for an ideal team, and get awed by a glimpse of Melbourne as you had never experienced!

And for those of you new to the city, don't even for a moment think you're wayy off the winning strike. Knowing Melbourne will only give you the minimal advantage (winks*). So give it a go, since it's free, what have you got to lose?

You can register for the event at our table duty, Monday-Friday, 12-2pm. Registration closes on Friday 2pm.

Please note that you are allowed to swap participants, but withdrawal from event will lead to a loss of deposit.

For more information, don't hesitate to drop in at our table duty.


********************************************************

(Please note that early bird tickets are subjected to availability)

Starting next week, we'll be selling tickets at normal prices.

You can now purchase your tickets at the table duty.

Activity Updates

First of all, a big terima kasih to all of you for being so cool about the BBQ cancellation and the mailbox spammings.

Anyhoo, here is an update of changes as a consequence of the discarded weekend. Basically, we're rescheduled major events in March, adjusting it to a preferable one-event-a-week schedule so you won't be missing out.

WELCOME BBQ

The Welcome BBQ has been rescheduled to 14th March, which is this coming Sunday, and will be held at Flagstaff Gardens.

It will not be held on the 10th of March (Wednesday) at the campus, as earlier suggested on the facebook event page and emails.

I've reattached some of the original information of the event, as they generally remains the same:

Date: 7th March

Time: 12pm-3pm

Place:

Flagstaff Gardens

The Gardens can be accessed by train, which stops at Flagstaff, and by tram, with No.55 tram accessing via William St and any trams going southwest (towards Docklands) from Latrobe Street. That includes the free City Circle tram. Keep an eye out for our banners.
