Summer has officially begun and our calendar is chock-a-block with activities! Each event is unique and different, so keep these dates free:
UK PRE-DEPARTURE BRIEFING
21 Jul 2013
Singapore Polytechnic
Organized by the British Council, this event is especially important if you are an incoming Fresher. Look out for the Durham University booth run by us, where you can clarify anything you are unsure of - on anything from college accommodation to those pesky CAS numbers you need for your Visa. Make sure to leave your contact details with us too, because it will be the primary means through which we will be disseminating important details to you. There will also be booths set up by banks, student insurance companies and even your alma-maters, as well as an informative briefing. Admission is free!

FRESHERS CAMP & DUSS DINNER PARTY
17 Aug 2013
Sentosa
A whole-day affair combining games and activities for our incoming Freshers in the day, and a dinner party for the entire society at night! Freshers, look forward to meeting your fellow first-years and to our Singaporean version of orientation so you won't miss out to your friends in local unis (orientation by your colleges in Durham is going to be a whole other new experience!) As the sun sets, the whole society will gather for a night of good food, banter and bonding.

WARWICK SUMMER GAMES (WSG)
31 Aug 2013
Meridian Junior College
The Warwick Summer Games is an annual tournament gathering Singaporean students from UK universities who battle it out in an array of sports (netball, soccer, floorball, frisbee to name a few) and games (Monopoly Deal anyone?). As a university with a comparatively small Singaporean population, we need all the help we can get! Doesn't matter if you are a Fresher coming in this year or alumni, just look out for sign-ups nearer the date and come down for a day of competitive fun and excitement.
