Lördags sport: Volleyboll

Motion-writing workshop before Val-SM

The Directorate officially invites you to the motion-writing workshop of the period.

The motion-writing workshop is the best opportunity you have to discuss your motions before the Revisions-SM with the board. A motion that has been discussed at a motion-writing workshop has about a 19% higher probability of not being criticized to pieces by the board at the SM, so it is strongly recommended that you bring yours along.

This time, we will try a new format for the workshops, which is that they will be held in META. The board will sit and be available to discuss motions from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both Thursday May 2nd and Friday May 3rd.

Fika will be provided!

See you there!

Rehearsal with Scala (the CS chapters choir!)

On Thursday (tomorrow!) it's once again time for rehearsals with the CS Chapter's choir Scala! 🎶

We are located in V01 (not V1!!) at 18-20 every Thursday. Everyone is warmly welcome! ❤️

On Thursday we will sing a song in English, namely Auld Lang Syne (a.k.a. the melody to Sista punchvisan 🥃). It is a song we have never sung in the choir before, so it's equally new to everyone!

Come and sing! It will be fun!

See you there! 🐩 ❤️

Saturday Sports: Volleyball

Hello hello!

Every Saturday from 2 pm to 3 pm we have booked KTH Hallen for the rest of the semester. The idea is that we do some activity/sport for an hour. Everyone is welcome! The primary goal is having fun, not to play super competitively.

This week (Saturday 27th) we will play volleyball for 1 hour.

I will try to vary the sports in the following weeks. And please come with suggestions for what we can do!!!

All events are published in our sports group on Facebook.

Hope to see you there 🙂

Open rehearsal with Scala!

Are you curious about singing in a choir? 🎶 Or have you been singing since you were five and want to find somewhere to do that in the chapter? Your wait is finally over! 🎉

On 11 April at 6pm, Scala will have an open rehearsal where all chapter members can come and sing!

Scala is the CS chapter's very own choir, and we sing together at the level you are every Thursday! We usually rehearse a few songs each semester, and those who want to (a subset) also sometimes have performances.

The idea is that it is an opportunity to relax and think about something other than your studies for a while. No experience is required! You don't need to know your part, you don't need to be able to read music, you just need to have the will to sing together. ❤️

What will happen is first a warm-up, where we do some easy singing exercises, and then we divide into our parts to practice a song. If you don't know which part you are, you'll come with me and we'll find out. Then when we have rehearsed for a while, we gather again and sing the song together. If we have time, we take another song.

Then we will continue to rehearse every Thursday in roughly the same way. But please come on the 11th if you are new to get as good an introduction as possible.

The room we have this year is V01 (not V1, it's two different rooms!).

Hope to see you there! Toodles 🐩

tl:dr: Come and sing the 11th of april at 6pm in V01! Come on, it'll be fun!🥳🦜

Extra-SM #1 (Summer-VM)
