And some more...
EGM
Due to our treasurer and social convener leaving the committee, we now
have these positions available. If you would like to stand for either of
these positions or would like any information about what this requires
then please reply to this e-mail and we'll be in touch. The EGM will be
held directly after Dr. Olsen's lecture, where a candidate for each of
the positions will be elected.
LECTURE: "Cutting Oranges; or What is Volume?" presented by Dr Olsen
Take an orange, cut it up into a finite number of pieces, stick it all
back together again and what do you get? Two oranges! Both the same size
as the original orange, and without any holes in. A neat way of solving
world hunger you might think, but it's a bit more involved than that.
Come and find out how to double the size of a block of gold, or turn a
pea into a planet the size of Jupiter! Dr Olsen presents the first
Chaosoc lecture of the year in maths theatre D at 4pm on Thursday 27th
October. Followed by free wine and nibbles!
CHRISTMAS DINNER
It may seem a bit early, but tickets for the Christmas dinner will be on
sale after Dr Olsen's Lecture/EGM and at various times in the maths
building. The dinner this year is in the Byre Theatre at 8pm on Tuesday
13th December. Tickets cost £15 for members and £20 for non-members,
including a three course meal and wine on your table, so bring along a
few friends for this bargain too! Menus will be available when tickets
are being sold. Tickets must be bought in advance and always sell quickly,
as this event is always extremely popular - so don't leave it too late!
