- Join St Edmund's College Chapel Choir
Would you like to sing in a Chapel Choir, without a heavy time commitment? We are a friendly, informal choir looking for more singers for all voice parts - there are no auditions! No experience is needed, but it's helpful if you can read music.
We have a rehearsal on Wednesday, 8 - 9.30pm, and sing for Sunday morning mass, meeting at 9.45am for a rehearsal beforehand. We also sing for occasional other services and events, in particular the Advent Carol Service at the end of Michaelmas term.
If you're interested in joining, please come along to the first rehearsal on Wed 7th October, 8pm, in St Edmund's College Chapel.
If you can't make that, please come along to one of our later rehearsals (it would be helpful if you could email me in that case)
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

- Male Actors and Production Team Wanted
Week 2 Michaelmas Term
CUADC presents
RED DEMON
by Hideki Noda
10.30pm Wednesday 21st - Saturday 24th October @ ADC theatre
Near an isolated fishing village, on a faraway island, a stranger is
found in the surf. Unable to speak the language of the fishermen and
their wives, wild rumours spread that this stranger is a demon, come to
snatch a baby for its supper. Before long, bottles full of strange
manuscripts from the land beyond the sea are washed ashore; perplexing
cave paintings speak of a search for a better world; fishing boats bob
helplessly on the wild ocean. Noda has been described as "absolutely the
most talented and provocative playwright of contemporary Japan". Now his
play "Red Demon" is coming to the ADC in an exciting and innovative
physical theatre-inspired production. Get involved!
For those interested in working on a challenging production that will
utilise SOUND, LIGHTING and SET to create a strong aesthetic please
apply or email cc509 to find out more about what we're planning... *
This will be a visually enticing, high energy production using
tight ensemble work and physical theatre to bring to life this strange
and wonderful story
We are also looking for MALE ACTORS both for a lead role and to complete our
talented ensemble. This is a project that will combine the dark comedy
of Noda's script with dramatic and powerful physical theatre and
ensemble work. As a result, there are fantastic opportunities for comic
actors as well as those who are just interested in bringing a character
and story to life. Additionally, any performers who want to explore
physical theatre in a slick, high energy production please come and
audition whether you are very experienced or have never performed before.
Please note that anyone auditioning must be available for intensive
rehearsals in the run up to the opening night on the 21st of October.
If you can't make the listed audition slots but would like to audition
or have any general questions then feel free to email Cait Crosse
(cc509@cam.ac.uk) *
Audition Times:
10th October 10am - 12pm in ADC Dressing Room 1
11th October 9am - 12pm ADC Rehearsal Room

- Join the Bone Marrow Register
SAVE A LIFE!: JOIN THE BONE MARROW REGISTER
Cambridge University Marrow Donor Recruitment Clinic
Wednesday 14th October 2009, 5-9pm, Wilkins Room, Downing College
Come to the clinic, run by Cambridge University
Marrow, to join the Anthony Nolan Trust's bone marrow register. A small
blood sample will be taken if you choose to join and meet the necessary
criteria. Everything takes no more than 15-20 minutes!
For more information, read below, or look at Cambridge University Marrow's
website: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/marrow
# WHY JOIN? #
Every year thousands of people with diseases, including leukaemia, reach a
stage in their illness when their only hope of survival is from a bone
marrow stem cell transplant. In some cases a sibling or relative may
provide the best match, but in many cases an unrelated donor could be the
only option. The ANT bone marrow register allows a database of potential
donors to be searched and matched for tissue type. Put simply, the more
people who join the register, the greater the chance that a good match can
be found when a patient is in need of bone marrow. So, THE MORE PEOPLE WHO
JOIN THE REGISTER, THE MORE LIVES COULD BE SAVED!
The chance of being called up are fairly slim, but if you are then you will
be saving someone's life.
# WHO CAN JOIN? #
Most people aged between 18 and 40 can join the register (subject to
certain criteria - see below). There are certain groups of people who are
significantly under represented on the register, who we are particularly
seeking to recruit. There include MEN and also many ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS.
As tissue types vary with ethnicity, it is particularly important for
members of these groups to sign up. When you attend the clinic you'll be
taken through the registration process by a trained counsellor, who can
answer any questions you may have. For detailed suitability criteria,
including medical conditions which may preclude registration, see the ANT
website (http://www.anthonynolan.com).
# FURTHER INFORMATION #
For information about the clinic please contact Ou Yanwen (yo228@cam.ac.uk)
or Myura Nagendran (mn337@cam.ac.uk) For info on Cambridge University
Marrow or the Anthony Nolan Trust, look at their respective websites
(above).
Best Wishes,

- Dissertation Help
Dear Student,
I am just coming into my third year studying Education at Homerton. As for most final year students, I have to complete a dissertation project and this is where I really hope that you will help me out. I need to recruit as many Cambridge undergraduate students as possible across all colleges and particularly across a range of subjects to complete a research survey for my dissertation. I can't stress enough how much I need your support as without it I won't be able to complete my dissertation.
It's a really easy survey to do and should only take about 15 minutes of your time. Also, in appreciation of your support, there is an opportunity at the end of the survey to enter into a raffle where there is a chance of you winning a £20 'thank you prize'.
Please try to put aside 15 minutes of time to help me with the survey and if you could spread the word among your friends in college and on your course that would be greatly appreciated.
The survey can be taken by clicking on the following link: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/186576/cambridge
Thank you for your time,
Chloe Davies
