[CCC] Parties this week!

[Mary Pines]

Dear all,

Welcome to winter. Several items on the happenings list this week:

1. The CCC's annual 'cracking' Christmas party is happening this 
Thursday, Nov 30th. Be at Sidney Sussex college (Knox Shaw room - 
we'll put up signs) any time after 8:30 for mulled wine, festive 
treats and good cheer to welcome the Christmas season. This is our 
last official event of term, so "pen" it into your calendars. And the 
best part: no purchase necessary! Just show up, eat drink and be 
merry.
(FYI - Since several people have asked, this is not a dinner event. 
Rather than jamming up your already jammed schedules with another 
dinner at this time of year, we tend to save it til Feb/March, when 
things have slowed down a bit. This is when we'll be having dinner 
with the High Commissioner to Canada. More details to follow on that.)

2. For those coming to the High Commissioner's reception this Friday, 
December 1st in London: Firstly, you need to have RSVP'd Ian Napier 
(ian.napier at international.gc.ca) to say you're coming, and if you 
haven't, do so ASAP, as space is very limited. Secondly, after some 
discussion, it was decided that it's probably best that we not 
arrange group transport, as most people probably won't want to leave 
the event/London at the same time to come back. (Plus, a return 
journey on the train costs nearly the same amount as a one-way trip, 
thus it would be very expensive to charter a bus one way and take the 
train back.) So then, let's all meet at the train station in time to 
catch the 17:15 direct. (Obviously, please arrive with enough time to 
purchase your tickets assuming there will be a long line - for me, 
that means 17:00.) The event runs from 18:30 - 20:30 at 3 Grosvenor 
Square (Bond Street Underground Stn), so there's potential for a few 
beers after. Dress is formal.

3. Another reminder about tonight's Recruitment of Policy Leaders 
event, also happening at Sidney Sussex. (Ya, we like it - it's 
central.) If you're curious about employment opportunities in the 
federal public service, and wouldn't mind a glass of wine, come 
along. Runs from 7-9pm in the Knox-Shaw room.

Phew. That's all for now. Hope winter finds you well and looking 
forward to the holidays. Hallelujah to that!


Mary
