Calling all Freshers...
Welcome to RHUL! Hopefully you're all settling in well and having an awesome first week.
Although I'm sure you won't need reminding, the society will be running a stall at Fresher's Fayre where you can sign up, ask questions and have a chat with some committee members. We'd really like to see a good turnout, so keep an eye out for us (we'll be the ones with columns and wine.)
Enjoy the rest of your week!

Artefacts - Iris Project Online
For those of you unfamiliar with the organisation, the Iris Project is perhaps the foremost proponent of Classics and, in particular, Latin, in the UK. They run courses, fairs and raise awareness of the subject predominantly with young people who may not have been exposed to it in their school career.
They've just started running a small series of articles on ancient artefacts on their website, IrisOnline; most recently on this Minoan table. Follow the link below to read more:

First committee meeting of the year!
Your devoted committee convened today in Crosslands for the first meeting of the year; notepads ready and brimming with ideas.
Our social calendar is already looking packed with events to suit any taste. Keeping the old and welcoming the new, we can look forward to an explosive Fresher's Week and a busy winter term. Between plays, socials, trips and a few never-before-seen events we'll be hitting the ground running for a year full of Classical revelry.
So we'd advise you all to dust off your togas, get some sleep and keep an eye on the society page for some pretty epic times to come.
