9th April 2013
Hello, good people of CUMaS! With just over two weeks of Easter Break left, I imagine there are some of us who are starting to feel a little pressed for time.
“NO, STOP IT, TIME. WHAT’S THE RUSH? THIS ISN’T FUNNY. TIME, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I STILL WANT TO DO THINGS! THINGS!”
Sound familiar? Well, fear not, because speaking about things, here are some you can look forward to!
First off, this CUMaSKini! Hot and fresh off the print (key?), it even smells amazing. Go on, give it a whiff!
Okay, now if you’re done being weird, there’s also been a few changes for the upcoming Oxbridge Games, including the addition of two events, so be sure to check that out. CUMaS will also be carrying out its very first Outreach Initiative this summer in Malaysia. If you’re interested in helping us make a difference, be sure to sign up via the link below! Also, read up on the latest dirt on the elusive Easter Garden Party. Finally, regarding the Gamuda Talk on the 10th of April, it has unfortunately been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

Lunch WILL be provided for the players but unfortunately, Oxford will be unable to provide food for the supporters who are coming, so be sure to pack a tasty lunch you can eat in front of them to make them jealous. Also, make sure to join the CUMaS Sports Group on Facebook to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the latest sports updates!
2. CUMaS Outreach Initiative
CUMaS will be running its very first Outreach initiative this summer, targeting prospective students in as many parts of Malaysia as we can. To do so, we need passionate, enthusiastic Malaysians (that’s you!) who are willing to share their University experiences to help create awareness, dispel myths and give the students back home the confidence to apply. Participation can range anywhere from helping to organise Outreach in your home state to giving a 5-10 minute talk. If you are interested in joining this crusade in any capacity at all, please fill up this form! We are especially lacking people from states outside of Selangor and really could do with some help to make this project a success.
There will be a training session for those who have signed up on the 20th April, the venue of which will be confirmed later.
3. Dirt on the Garden Party
psst!
So, it turns out the Garden Party will likely be outdoors on some form of flat grassy terrain like a field or lawn, a.k.a “a garden”. It will also be (wait for it…) a party. Oh, and there might even be some dirt too. But shush, you didn’t hear it from me.
Date: Saturday, 15th June 2013
Venue: TBC
Theme: TBC
4. Gamuda Talk CANCELLED
Due to an urgent meeting back in Malaysia, our sponsor Gamuda will be unable to make the 10th April for the Gamuda Talk, and hence it has unfortunately been cancelled. Apologies for the inconvenience!
