Come as a country and Race around Reading



 So, it seems like a long time ago, but on monday 22nd October we had our first proper night out as a society and it was great to see so many of you there. And to see so many of you make the effort to dress up (well except you Jim jam - the UK- really??? :P) We had loads of countries represented: France, China, USA, Ireland and Wales to name a few. We started off at Park Bar where lots of drinking was obviously involved especially when the geog soc challenged us to a boat race.  And then we travelled (see what I did there) to Q bar where we danced the night away =] all in all, a really great night.

We were hugely lucky this week to have not one, but two events. So on Saturday 27th October, it saw us  running around Reading to collect the free samples, stickers and answers and make it back to Cotton Club for scones and alcohol. Despite the rain, congrats to all who finished -some even made it back before the committee due to ridiculous traffic. Shows that walking is so much better =] And massive congratulations to Ness who won the amazing tour around australia - Enjoy! Thanks to all who bought raffle tickets. We made a huge amount money for our Cambodia fund (I will give you an exact figure soon) and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves.

Lots of love, RUTS xxxx
Coming up next:
Not a travel event, but on Monday STA are hosting a talk about Australia. Loads of prizes involved so definitely worth going https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/127407934076758/
I have been looking forward to this since we were discussing it so make sure you come along on 8th november to windsor for a ghostly, dark tour of windsor...should be fun =] https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/107831542708577/

Sangria and nachoes social - 9/10/12


 Yayyy and the first social has arrived...We were hugely looking forward to this one so we could get to meet you all and let you all know the exciting stuff that we have beenspent the summer planning. So we got the alcohol flowing pretty quickly and were wonderfully surprised to meet so many of you...
There were some great speeches from our wonderful president Jade, about all that was happening this year (yes I know - lots of stuff planned!!); Harry about our proposed volunteering trips to Cambodia and Romania; and the lovely hitch people who told us all about their hikes to Croatia/Morroco. So it was all very informative.
And then of course much alcohol, crisps and doughnuts were consumed.
It was so great to meet so many people and get loads of you signed up! Let's get this year started!
Thanks for coming. It's going to be a great year.
Lots of love, RUTS xxx
