Athena swan Coffee Catch up

Tuesday 20th November at 10.30am in C222 of the BHF Glasgow Cardiovascular Reseach Centre

In response to the recent culture survey and as a means of reconnecting again and connecting with new colleagues who have recently joined the SCMH, we are going to be holding a couple of coffee catch-up events throughout the year.  

All staff and students are invited and encouraged to attend for a blether and a catch-up over tea/coffee (biscuits will also be provided!).  This is an informal gathering where we just want to give people an opportunity to meet in person and see both familiar and new faces.

We hope to see you there!

SCMH Christmas Quiz

Nothing says the start of November like the an update about the social event of the year – the annual SCMH Christmas Quiz!  This will be held on Friday 12th Dec from 2pm in C222/3 of the BHF GCRC.  We have our resident quiz master Scott MacKenzie already working away on this year’s questions and it is sure to be a great afternoon as it always is. 

Bucking the cost of living trend, the quiz will remain at the same entry cost as the last 3 years - £10 per person.  This will cover catering costs to provide sandwiches, some nibbles for each table/quiz team, soft drinks and some stronger drinks for those who wish to partake in some festive spirit (wine/beer/cider as usual).  And we should be able to get some interval pizza from this as well.  If we have monies remaining once costs are covered (perhaps unlikely this year), then our suggestion would be that we make a charitable donation as we have done in previous years.

We will have a restricted number of spaces available for this event due to the space available to us (max 64 people can be safely accommodated) and so if you are want to join in, then please ensure you get your names to Lorraine as soon as possible.  

Please email Lorraine (Lorraine.Work@glasgow.ac.uk) to reserve your place.  At that time, can you also let me know if you have any special dietary requirements we need to be aware of (eg vegan, vegetarian, gluten intolerant) and we will work to ensure you are catered for.  Also, what will you want to drink?  Red wine, white wine, rose wine, beer (by this I mean lager I guess), cider or soft drinks.  The envelope to pay your entry fee will be in Wai/Nic/Josie’s office (C438) in the BHF GCRC or in Michelle Lee/John McAbney’s office - 440 in the Sir James Black Building or 417 of the Davidson Building.  Or I can pass on my bank details if anyone wants to do an online BACS (a rather worrying number of you probably already have these from previous years or generous birthday contributions).  Your place is not secured until payment is also received.  If circumstances change, we will always try to offer a refund if provisions have not been bought, if they have, this will be harder to do and will depend on your place being taken by someone else who may be on a reserve list.

We will close the quiz list on Monday 1st December (or sooner if we reach capacity) to allow time to make up the quiz teams and let those attending know who their team-mates will be (and whose team is the one to look out for!).  Also to ensure time to get provisions bought!
