Past society events

This is a list of past events held or celebrated by our society between 2010/10/19 and 2010/12/11.

Monty Python's Life of Brian

OK, we couldn't get a hold of The Muppet Christmas Carol, so we watched Life of Brian instead. Mucho Christmassy, yes. Let the Muppets be a challenge for a future committee. Oh wise and powerful future committee, we fear your time-travelling wrath here in the present. (I for one welcome our embryonic future overlords.)

IFIS Yuletide/Christmas/Hanukkah/Bodhi/Non-religion-specific (it is actually during the dates of Hanukkah) Meal

We're having a meal on the 2nd of december at the Al Ma Ma Ta. I've said we will arrive at approximately 1930. Do let the committee know if that is a problem for anyone. The menu is here: http://www.ifis.org.uk/social/polls/xmas2010.shtml. Please fill it out by the 28th of November. The meal will be subsidised by the society at a cost of £12. We haven't included drinks as quite a few people don't drink. Please let people who don't get email or access the website know and tell them to email choices to the committee address committee@ifis.org.uk.
