16th October 2012
Another week, another CUMaSKini!
The Freshers’ Formal is happening today! Hopefully you’ve received your confirmation e-mail for this sold out event. Next up is the Nottingham Malaysian Games, in mid-November. It’s the biggest Malaysian sporting event of the year, so if you’re interested in representing Cambridge, do sign up below! And finally, the Vietnamese Society is holding a Vietnamese Food Festival at the end of October. Between all the food festivals coming up in Michaelmas, it’s probably a good idea to join some sports training for the Notts Games to burn off those calories 😉

2. Nottingham Malaysian Games Sign-Up
It’s that time of the year again! The Nottingham Malaysian Games is the largest Malaysian sporting event in the UK. As usual CUMaS will be sending as many teams as we have players for, and as many supporters as we can squeeze into a coach. The Notts Games will be held on 10/11/2012 from 0730-1900.

A. Malaysian Food Feast Volunteers
We’re proud to announce we’ll have the Malaysian Food Feast on the 18th of November! We’ll send more details on this in the future. However, we do need volunteers to help with the cooking, transporting food and serving on the day itself.
If you would like help volunteer for the event, please register here: http://bit.ly/mffVol2012.This will be a fun opportunity to cook Malaysian food, meet new people, have loads and loads of fun, and wash dishes! As a bonus, you get to eat for free 🙂 More details will be sent to volunteers closer to the event.
