Sushi Day

Hi all,

this is a rare event that takes place once a year (maybe twice). No, I’m not referring to me posting here but it’s Sushi Day! That is right, 11th November is Sushi Day and what better to start the day by learning how to make some?

Although the previous event was cancelled, that won’t keep us down. Unlike the first sushi-making session, we will be teaching how to make maki sushi, nigiri sushi, temaki sushi and if time permits, the other types!

Updates!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the location for Sushi Day has been changed to IT4-4-69. We apologize for all inconvenience caused!

DATE: 11th November 2006
TIME: 9am-11am (first session), 12pm-2pm (second session)
VENUE: IT5-5-15 IT4-4-69
ADMISSION: $4 (members), $7 (non-members)

To register, you may contact me, Wei Lee, at 94884958 to fix a meeting place and time to make payment to get the tickets. Alternatively, you may SMS me your name and student no. and meet me at the mushroom at 1pm-2pm to make payment.

Membership Drive

If you or your friends wish to join the club as a member, we will also be starting our membership drive! Students who are interested are welcome to join us at the event at a discounted rate of $7. This membership lasts until the start of the next academic year.

Drawing Session (November)

Hi all,

Time: 6pm to 7pm
Venue: 5-6-12 (Applied Science) (Should there be a change in location, signs will be put up to redirect you.)
