It's a new year and a new term, so remember to check all your courses whether they
need pre-registration or if it's just a walk-in course. Also, if you feel lost, feel
free to contact your old tutors, the board of Anglica or your teachers!
The board has now agreed on the time for the weekly board meetings, and that time
is on Tuesdays at 18, in the usual place, H2 of Juslenia. All members of Anglica
are welcome to join the meetings, share their thoughts and give us ideas for
new events or the such.
NB. Anglica Movie Night has been changed to Comedy Night. More info coming soon.
Have a band? Wanna play? BANDNIGHT IS THE SOLUTION.
We're having the traditional, annual ANGLICA's BANDNIGHT at Klubi
on 14.3., but we're in a bit of a pickle: we don't have enough bands
to play!
So here is where you come into play, member of Anglica. If
you happen to be in a band or know some Anglican who plays in a band,
ask them if they could play that night and inform us!
Genre does not matter - we're offering your bands a chance to play on a real
stage instead of garages and basements. So the point is just to have
Anglica's bands to share their music with the rest of us and have a fun
night at Klubi.
To all you music types then: get your acts together and start rehearsing and
planning a setlist for the legendary BANDNIGHT!
The first sitz party of the year is here!
The theme is "As seen on TV", so anything you've seen on TV:
ads, shows, game shows or the like is free game! Sign-up
is officially open as of NOW, and the quota is 62 and it
will be closing on the 18th of Jan at NOON. The venue is
the oh so lovely and ever so quaint, geek-owned Sotku.
The afterparty is also in the same place, so no need to
fret about getting in night clubs. Just bring enough to
drink and come by the hundreds with glee!
AND DO REMEMBER TO ARRIVE ABOUT 30 MINUTES EARLY AND TO
BRING THE RECEIPT.
The sitz price includes one drink of choice, 2 shots,
the punch and a three course meal.
Sign-up is closed! See you there!
In short:
WHAT: As seen on TV! sitz
WHEN: 26.1., 19.00
WHERE: Sotku
Here's the FB event, for you hip kids.
The time has come to rejoice and jam to some of the most classic Britpop music
in Dynamo! Anglica thusly welcomes thee and thy friends to dance and wiggle those
arms like you've never danced or wiggled your arms before. The whole shebang will
set you back a mere 2 euros for tons of fun with Anglica's DJs and other Britpoppers.
So the bootyshakin' ball is on the 2nd of February, and the doors are open from
9pm (21.00) onwards until the barkeep yells "get out ye' worthless barmpot!" (or
whatever the British do), which is about at 4am.
So to quote the Arctic Monkeys: Get on your dancin' shoes, you sexy little swine!
WHAT: Anglica's BRITPOP (FB event)
WHEN: 2.2., 21.00
WHERE: Dynamo, Linnankatu 7
So the time has finally come, and you've all been waiting for this - yes, it is the first bake sale of the year! WHOO!
So as per usual, we bake and we sell so that Anglica can afford to make fun stuff
happen. This year, however, is a bit special. We are currently raising funds for
our big 55 (Anglica's 55th bday partaaay, that is), so all the proceeds from this
bake sale will go directly into our 55-party funds. So if you've been waiting for
that small nudge to bake something, I hope this is the final nudge and prod over
the bake sale cliff into the gorge of bake sale mania! So we need all kinds of stuff,
sweet or salty baked things: pies, cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pastries etc.
So it's about time you click on that doodle link thing and sign up for either a
slot for sales duty or a baked goods slot, or better yet, sign up for both!! So
in case you can't be bothered to look to the left of the page, the bake sale is on
a Tuesday, the 7th of February (same day as the AFC meet, so a good time to warm
up the oven and give the tastebuds a time of their life) from 9.00am till the
afternoon. It's all in the doodle and the FB event.
And as usual, pie makers and cake bakers get rewarded with free entry to Anglica's
Band Night in March! AWESOME!
In a nutshell:
WHAT: Anglica's bake sale
WHEN: Tuesday, 7.2. @ 9am - 3pm (9.00-15.00)
WHERE: Juslenia's lobby
doodle here! aaaand Facebook event here!
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.
PS. We have a new coffee maker and a water kettle for Coffee Hours and the bake sale, hooray!

Everybody loves to eat!
Anglica Food Club has decided to meet up at Ikituuri, on the 7th of February.
The theme for the meeting is still up for votes, so go to the FB page
and vote for either African, Middle Eastern, Indian, East/Southeast/South-Asian, South/Middle American/Caribbean or Mediterranean.
After that, you can go right ahead to the sign up doodle.
So when you've done all that, you can go to the FB event and gloat with other AFCers. So
in case you're oblivious to the previous AFC meets, the concept is that you all make
the food together and you all pay an equal amount for it, eat it and have fun!
In a nutshell
WHAT: Anglica Food Club meet
WHEN: 7.2., 18.30
WHERE: Ikituuri
Coffee Hours on Wednesdays in H2 from 12 to 14 
If you happen to be hanging around Juslenia drop by for a cup of coffee or tea
with your fellow students. Coffee Hours are also a great opportunity to bring up
issues you would like to discuss with board members or other students in general.
Overalls, badges and books are also for sale!
N.B. Those of you who are taking the Contemporary Literatures in English-course,
and have preordered the books for the course, can buy them from Tomi during Coffee Hours.
See you there!
