Just a quick reminder to say there's a History Society meeting on Thursday (15 May) in the Bobbin at 5pm to select a new committee for next year. If you're interested, please come along. There'll be an area reserved for the society so we'll be easily found.

Dear all,

There's still a few ball tickets left so if you're yet to buy one for the meal, or even just the ceilidh, there's one more chance. Come along to the first floor of the history dept this Wednesday (30 April) between 2 and 3pm and there'll be someone there flogging tickets for £25, as well as society branded clothing. Get your friends together and come along for the meal, or if funds are particularly low, the ceilidh only costs £7.50. It promises to be a good night, and the more people that attend, the better it'll be.

Can't make 2-3 on Wednesday? Email history.society@gmail.com and we'll sort something else out.

The End of Year Ball - Saturday 3 May - Copthorne Hotel - 7 for 7.30 start - smart dress. 3 course meal followed by ceilidh with the Broad Bay Ceilidh Band. Organised in conjunction with the Philosophy and Medical Sciences societies. The ceilidh should begin around 9pm.

End of Year Ball tickets are going on sale next week. They're £25 each and that includes a three course meal followed by a ceilidh with the Broad Bay Ceilidh Band. The ball is has been organised in conjunction with the Philosophy and Medical Sciences societies and we hope to have well over a hundred people there. It's being held at the Copthorne Hotel on Saturday 3 May and begins at 7.30pm. Dress is smart (kilts, tuxes, dresses etc).

Tickets are available from the first floor social area of the Crombie Annexe building between 1 and 2pm every day next week (21-25 April). The menu will be on show so you can select your meal option. A limited number of tickets for just the ceilidh are also available at £7.50 each.

The clothing order that was placed before Easter is now in so if you're waiting for an item please come along and collect it when we're selling ball tickets next week. The earlier in the week the better so they don't have to be lugged around by committee members too much! We'll also be taking requests for one final order before the end of the term. See the price list below and order next week.

The Torcher Parade is happening on Saturday 26 April and the society has booked a float with the theme, Monty Python's The Life of Brian. We need volunteers to help build it on the day and dress up in the evening for the parade. The more people the better. We had a great time last year and even ended up in the paper with our Bill & Ted's Historical Adventure float. Please contact Alasdair at u04ajp4@abdn.ac.uk if you're interested.

It's coming towards the end of the year and we need to be thinking about a new committee for next year. Most of the current committee are 4th years so we'll be moving on soon. It's a great chance to meet people and have a laugh, not to mention the fact it looks good on the CV. There'll be an email about a meeting soon (it'll probably be after the ball), so see future emails.
