Buy your ticket in advance: see a Hall Senior. Be quick – tickets are limited for this awesome student night out!

If you have a temporary ID card used to get into your room, you will need to go to the ID card office before Friday to get one with a photo on it. However, to make it open your room door, you need to see either Sarah or Laura in the Eastside office to get it re-programmed: IC security cannot do this!

Due to the bad weather, the layout of the stalls at tomorrow’s Freshers Fair has been changed from the previous version (which was included in Felix).  Please download a new version here.

Meet in the Common Room at 6pm! We will be going around pubs and bars in South Kensington, and ending up in the Union.

For the past week, 5 Wardens and 8 Hall seniors have been working hard – and we are delighted to announce that we are finally ready for Moving in Day. So,  from all of us here at Wilkinson Hall: have a good journey, and we look forward to meeting you all tommorow!

Following the moving in of the hall Seniors on Saturday, the Wardening team decided to challenge them… a lot. So we headed out to “GoApe”, a series of platforms up trees, with obstacles like wires and Tarzan swings between the trees. Despite us being tied on, I can vouch for the scary-ness: and many of the obsticles forced you to look down! Check out the photos and videos here.

Following our weekend of fun and b0nding, the whole team will be working relentlessly to bring YOU the best freshers week possible. And if GoApe looks fun, you should know that we have some more great ideas in the works. If however GoApe looks like the most scary and stupid activity, then be assured that none of our fresher’s fortnight events involve trees!
