Hello all!
Finnsoc is having an unformal (as usually) meeting this Thursday 18.6. at 7pm, at the Castle Inn pub on Castle St. We will be discussing future summer/autumn events, and spending the rest of the evening purely socially. So if you want ot have your say on the future events, or just fancy coming over for a friendly chat, be welcome.
Kind Regards,
Aino Telaranta-Keerie
Finnsoc president
Tänä vuonna vapunpäivä osuu perjantaille, joten FinnSocin tämänvuotinen vapputapahtuma järjestetään PERJANTAI-iltana 1.5. Ensin keräännymme Castle Hillin laelle nauttimaan FinnSocin tarjoamaa kuohujuomaa
(sekä mahdollista auringonpaistetta) kello 18:30, ja siirrymme siitä pubiin istumaan iltaa.
Olemme varanneet Castle Hillin kupeessa sijaitsevasta Sir Isaac Newtonista yläkerran itsellemme 19:30 alkaen. Pubista saa ruokaa yhdeksään asti, ja juomaa paljon myöhempään. Vapaan seurustelun ja vappulaulujen sekaan
järjestämme FinnSocin puolivuosikokouksen, jossa valitaan sääntömääräiset hallituksen jäsenet, ja suunnitellaan tulevia tapahtumia.
Koska vappuhan ei ole koskaan yksipäiväinen juhla, harkitsemme vappupiknikin/grillauspäivän järjestämistä lauantaille 2.5. Tämän tapahtuman yksityskohdat selkeytyvät viimeistään vappujuhlissa ja säästä
riippuen!
Valkolakit mukaan!

To get to the tower, enter through the main entrance and take the elevator to the top floor (5th). We'll post directions to the relevant doors, and there is also a receptionist downstairs who will be glad to help if you can't find us.
FinnSoc offers some Christmasy food and drinks, but feel free to bring your own nibbles and drinks too. We'll be watching the live webcast of the President's reception in Helsinki and will do some other fun stuff too (tee-hee).

This Thursday (the 18th of October) FinnSoc presents a seminar at Pembroke College from 7 pm onwards. You'll have the opportunity to meet old and new members and to hear about the forthcoming events planned for this term. Finnish specialities such as Karelian pies, buns and salmiakki are also available. After the seminar we'll move onto a nearby pub. See you on Thursday!
Once more, instructions to get there:
Go through the main gate (next to a red mail box) and walk through the first court yard. Walk through the dining hall corridor and on the next court yard choose the middle path of the three. Go through the gate in to the garden and continue to walk straight ahead. There should be an old red-brick residence building on your left. Walk about 20 metres and you will see a glass door on you left. Enter the door and you should find your self in the entrance of Junior Parlour and a bar. Walk through another set of glass doors towards toilets. Before the toilets turn right and walk through another set of glass doors in to a staircase. Climb up the stairs in to the room N7.
