Message from VP Finance

Dear All,

I wish you all a very happy new year and trust you got some R & R over the holiday season.

I have organised a minibus test to be held on 25th February 9am-2pm. If you would like any of your members to apply for this testplease email me no later than 5pm on Friday 11th February. This is the last test of the year and so it will be funded by the SU, unless your driver does not turn up on the day in which case your society will be expected to cover the £30 for the test slot.

Please let me know what year of study the proposed driver is in, the society(ies) they would drive for, their course, their age, confirm they have no points on their licence and have been driving for at least two years, and any additional information that may be pertinent - events the society is holding, how frequently, how far away, how close to train stations, how many other members have cars etc. Unfortunately there are only 10 spaces available so you may not be successful this time around.

Events happening At George's

Musical Auditions

Into the Woods' is a Sondheim classic and was made into a hit film version in 2014! It tells the story of a baker and his wife who have to break the witch's curse in order to have a child. During theirjourney, their story is intertwined with those of familiar fairytale characters, such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack (and the Beanstalk)! Think fairy tales but with a dark twist, and lots of singing!

AUDITIONS
Tuesday 10th January - 18:30 J1.1
Thursday 12th January - 18:30 J1.1

Auditions aren't scary, with acting and singing segments, but all of these are done in small groups so you won't be on your own. All you need to do is come along with a song that you're comfortable singing for us (acapella and preferably a musical or Disney song!)

For more information about band, cast or crew, find our Facebook event or email us on m1400044
