IGK Social Activities
Please be aware that the dinner on Wednesday will cost 15.-GBP for each of you (excluding drinks, but you can bring your own favourite bottles). For the ghost tour we estimate something like 9.- GBP depending on how many people will participate. For the ceilidh (if we can find one until then) I would calculate around 8.-GBP with student concession. Ulrike and I will collect the money during lunch breaks.
There might be a ceilidh coming up on Tuesday, 5th Sept. So if you are already in town you could check out this web page for further information.

Week 2
Please bring your favourite DVDs and boardgames! There is plenty of space to play games in the dining room, and we can use the projector in the seminar room to watch movies.
We'll be pretty far from the next shop, so it might be a good idea to stock up on your favourite sweets and snacks beforehand. (In this context, please note that the Firbush home page says we can't bring alcohol, but they have a bar where we can buy beer and wine if we want any.)
