NIC Winter Party – save the date – 8th December

This year we are focussed on having a **PARTY** and not a Ball.

No need to spend money on a new frock – this is all about dancing, buffet supper & wine and having fun with friends – just before we all get away for the Winter Holidays.

Tickets are on sale in the Centre Foyer from this week.

The Shangri La is offering a good room rate to stay over, and our student choir will be in place for the tree lighting ceremony just before the party kicks off.

Do come along – make a group and celebrate the end of a great year!

For more info see Sue in Admissions

NIC Bazaar this Wed at Shangri La

 

The vendors have told us that they will be at the Shangri La until 5pm.

I hope that some of you will be able to come along?

If there is not too much traffic it should only take 20 mins or so to get there by taxi. Much longer by Metro cos you have to change lines.

Hope you can make it !

Ready made easy meals from Chartwells

Did you know that Chartwells provide ready made, freshly cooked meals to order.

They need two days notice, and can be picked up from either Cafe.

You can email Annie at Chartwells and pay by WeChat, your card or cash.

I can highly recommend the beef lasagne.

There is also chicken cordon bleu, cottage pie, and fish pie .

The cottage pie is 40 RMB everything else is 35RMB

Portions are quite substantial.

Great to freeze and keep for those days when you do not want to cook…..
