Apologies that your 4th Week Notices are coming slightly later than usual - it’s been one of those weeks! I’m sure you’ve coped remarkably well without them, however.
Importantly - Chapter Day sign up is open!! See details below. See you around, Kev --- Internal Notices 1. Chapter Day Dinner - Sign up now! 2. Hall survey coming soon - but your feedback is always welcome External Notices 1. OxFund 2. Kabaddi 3. Drama for Postgrads 4. SUSCAM DROP-IN EVENT: Tuesday 5th Week, Cafe Nero (High Street), 2-5pm --- Internal Notices 1. Chapter Day Dinner (9th Nov) - Sign up now! The main note for the day is that sign-ups for Chapter Day dinner on 9th November are open! Chapter Day is the day each term that Lincoln remembers its founders. In practical terms, this means that dinner in Hall that night is 4 courses instead of 3, it’s slightly nicer food, and the MCR lays on some wine. It’s great fun. But if you want a seat in Hall that night, you’ll need to sign up in advance. Go to http://www.lincoln.ox.ac.uk/Online-Meal-Booking to sign up for the Chapter Day Hall on 9th November. The two sittings of Hall remain, with the same food being served at both. Keep your eyes peeled on the Social Team e-mails for details about the wine ;-) 2. Hall survey coming soon - but your feedback is always welcome As Jess said in her e-mail on Sunday, the JCR and MCR are putting together a brief survey to canvas opinion about Hall & food in general at Lincoln. But you need not wait until then! Your feedback is always welcome, and we continuously pass it on to the College & Kitchen. Just e-mail Jess or myself with your comments. External Notices 1. OxFund Oxford’s undergraduates and even postgraduates are facing unnecessary challenges when they apply for further studies. Reasons include a lack of guidance from the university and lack of funding. We are a group of Oxford undergraduates and post-graduates who organised a panel event to point out ways how to resolve this problem. Please forward the text below to the students. Thank you! Pursuing another degree – a masters, DPhil or even another undergraduate course?

Drama for Postgrads Oxford is a hive of theatrical activity. However, all too often drama within the university is seen as exclusively for undergraduates. Lots is currently underway to bust such myths and ensure that there are ample opportunities for all members of the university, irrespective of level of study, age or dramatic experience, to participate in theatre in Oxford - whether as actors, director, writers, techies, or, crucially, just as audience members. Graduate Drama Drinks // Sunday 20th November // The King’s Arms // 7pm – The Oxford University Drama Society (OUDS) is hosting a drinks evening especially for all graduate students from of 6th week at the KA. Come along and find out more about drama in Oxford, chat with current members of the OUDS committee and meet like-minded postgrads from across the university. A number of different opportunities will be discussed that may be of particular interest to postgrad thespians; and suggestions will be sought for ways to facilitate greater graduate involvement in student drama. If you’re on Facebook, have a look at the event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2015154465377883/https://www.facebook.com/events/2015154465377883/ Graduate-friendly Productions One of the chief difficulties for theatrically interested postgrads is that the rehearsal processes for many student shows are tailored to the more flexible timetables of undergraduates. Consequently, plans are afoot for productions with rehearsals that are spread out over a longer period of time, held at the weekend or on weekday evenings, and scheduled well in advance. Regardless of what dramatic experience you may have had previously if any, please do get in touch with the OUDS graduate rep at [email protected] if you think that you might be interested in getting involved in some way. Techies, producers, designers, directors – and maybe even writers - will all be needed, as well, of course, as actors. New Play-Reading Group For those who enjoy watching, reading and discussing plays, as much as those who love putting them on, a new play-reading group is currently being organised. Programmes of weekly readings will be scheduled to offer a variety of perspectives on one broad theme or subject per term. Across the year and beyond, we will therefore touch on a variety of the infinite range of interests, concerns, and studies across the university. Potential termly themes might include: the environment, feminism, multiculturalism, medicine, faith, and – especially in light of this tumultuous last summer – politics and current affairs. The emphasis will not only be on widening our familiarity with great drama of all periods, but on discussion and exchange about the big ideas and questions thrown up by the play read on each occasion – and all hopefully accompanied by friends and a drink or two. Again do drop the OUDS graduate rep a line at [email protected], whether to volunteer as a reader, suggest possible themes or plays, or just to express your general interest. To keep abreast of further theatrical news, make sure that you’ve signed up for the Drama Officer’s weekly newsletter. This is the bible of Oxford student drama, as it advertises all productions, student auditions and dramatic opportunities going on in Oxford. You can subscribe to it at http://www.ouds.org/. 4.
