4th – 10th December, 2006.

This week’s edition by: David


Howdy! It’s only two weeks until Christmas, are you all excited? I’m not quite sure of the Polish traditions at Crimbo, but in England we tend to get loads of gifts. Unless you’re me, and are classed as “too old…”

In other news this week, I am not happy. Do you remember I mentioned last time about England v Australia battling it out in the cricket? Well England are now 2-0 down in the best-of-five series. We have to win the next three to guarantee keeping that magnificent trophy!

Also, some of the teachers went to Wieliczka Salt Mines near Kraków, and into Kraków itself afterwards, They had a great day, eating in a Georgian restaurant and seeing the sights. Nice one guys, hope you took plenty of pictures!


REVIEWS

ROCK CLIMBING CLUB

Only one student attended this week, but we had a welcome return to the scene for The Beast, a former student here. I couldn’t climb because I had the wrong shoes, so I went and bought some. However, Brian and the others had great fun! Looking forward to next month, test those shoes…


INTERMEDIATE CONVERSATION CLUB

I heard this was a great success! Held at Promil, seven people attended, and they chatted and chewed the fat for almost two hours! The topics covered are too many to list! Apparently the same kind of stuff you’d talk to people at Hemingway’s at 3am… Well done guys!


NEWS AND EVENTS

There’s a lot happening in the next week or so, read on! Unfortunately this means there’s no room for fun stuff. Never mind! Normal service will resume next week!

LECTURE – A BRIEF HISTORY OF BRITAIN
Friday 8th December, 19.30.

Ok, so it’s the turn of yours truly (me!) to give a lecture. I’ve chosen to talk about the history of my great collection of nations, so if you want to know a little more about Britain’s history then come along. I’ll try and make it interesting, inject a bit of humour. I promise! Usual drill – sign up with the secretaries.


ADVANCED CONVERSATION CLUB
Thursday 7th December, 19.30.

Sean will be hosting this once more, so for all you self-confessed “experts”, come along and expand that cranium! Sign up with the secretaries.


SNOOKER & POOL CLUB
Sunday 10th December, 14.00.

Daniel and Kel will once again be your hosts, for some (semi) competitive action. See you there, see the secretaries!


INTERMEDIATE CONVERSATION CLUB
Tuesday 12th December, 19.30

I know, we’ve only just had the last one! This will again be held at Promil; Hugh and Caroline your host and hostess. Get your name on the list at the secretaries’ office!


MUSIC CLUB
Saturday 16th December, 20.00.

Our very own Marcin will be playing at the London Pub, a favourite place for our Music Clubs. He promises to play something different to the usual, including a few covers and versions that might surprise you. He may also have a special guest to accompany him! Sign up at the secretaries’ domain, and remember – don’t wear yellow socks to the gig!
