Another week, and time for another newsletter. There's a lot of planning going on in the committee meetings right now, and here's just a taster of what's to come...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PUB NIGHT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As usual we have our regular pub night on THURSDAY - the same place, the same time. For those of you who have not been there yet - it's the pub called "Primary" at 8 p.m. As usual some FREE FOOD over there and lots of fun!!!! SO Come along.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CEILIDH (TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH DANCING) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned in last week's letter, this week's main event on SATURDAY 8TH is a visit to the Riverside Club near St. Enoch for a CEILIDH. A true Scottish experience, this is always great fun, and not to be missed! The club costs £7.00 to get in (expensive we know, but worth it!), and we'll be going along early to make the most of the evening. It has been recommended to take coins along to pay for your entry as change is sometimes a problem. Dress code is... well, whatever you want really, but if you've got a kilt, wear it! Meet us at 7.30pm outside Hillhead Underground, and make sure you bring a bottle of water - all that dancing is thirsty work!
SATURDAY 16TH OCTOBER - CLUBNIGHT IN CUBE Still working on the details of this one, but it promises to be a fun night out! The International Society will have it's own room, as well as free access to the rest of the club. DJ Naeem (Blanket, Chinawhite) will be DJ'ing a mix of RnB, dancehall, reggaeton, soca, and carnival beats.
Also on the topic of CUBE, all International Society members have FREE ACCESS 7 DAYS A WEEK on showing your membership card on the door.
SATURDAY 22 OCTOBER - TRIP TO STIRLING Bet most of you have already heard about this place and it is really worth visiting. Included in the trip will be visits to Stirling Castle and the famous Wallace Monument. More information about the ticket price and time will follow in the next newsletter.
Something from our friends at FAVELA here for you all...

And lastly, a request from one of our committee members:
International 'Food Idioms' Collection A GUIS committee member is embarking on a multi-cultural/lingual project of collecting 'food idioms'. You know, things like "piece of cake", "he knows his beer", "eat humble pie" etc. This is an earnest appeal for everyone of you to contribute and expand the collection. Please pass on such idioms from your own country/culture as much as you can recollect or reference, whenever and wherever to Srikant. In person at the pub-nights - or by email - sriks@dcs.gla.ac.uk - or by mobile - 07717748029. All contributions will be dutifully acknowledged and honored. Cheers.
