It gives me great pleasure to invite you all to our start of year social event this evening, in Vaughan SCR. Note that the start time has been moved half an hour forward from that mentioned in our leaflets - it will begin at 6:30pm. As I said, all are welcome to attend, in particular those who are new to the college. There will be free wine, soft drinks and a variety of snacks available, so do come down, and meet fellow musicians and music lovers. If you are interested in forming an ensemble, this is also a very good opportunity to meet other musicians in Somerville.
I hope to see you later. Robert Pecksmith (Acting SMS President) Our new freshers' leaflet is now available for download. Printed copies will be distributed in 0th week. We hope to see you at the annual SMS Freshers’ Drinks in Vaughan SCR at 6:30pm on Saturday of 0th week (12th October).
We have lots of events planned for next term: There will be a Freshers' Concert on Thursday of 3rd week (31st October) and the weekly lunchtime recitals will resume on Friday of 1st week (18th October). Robert Pecksmith (Acting SMS President) Stefan Schwarz (Webmaster and Recitals Coordinator) On Saturday of 8th week (15th June), SMS is organising a lunch for everyone who has been involved in music making of any kind in our chapel this year.
The venue is the restaurant High Table, just next to the exams schools. The time will be 13:00 and the restaurant offers a two-course meal for £12.50 (includes service charge). SMS will be subsidising this cost, so depending on how many people can make it, the most you would have to pay is around £10.00. For those of you that would like to go, send me an email indicating this by the end of the week and I'll make a note of it. For those who don't reply I'll assume that you can't make it and wish you all the best now, with thanks for your contributions this past year. If you have any questions let me know. Ian Buchanan (Social Secretary) I would like to warmly invite you all to take part in SMS's final open concert of the year, which will take place on Thursday of 4th week (i.e. week on thursday) at 8pm in the chapel. As ever, contributions are sought and welcomed from anybody who wishes to perform, regardless of genre or experience of performing.
I hope many of you will take up this opportunity, it really is a great experience to play in front of your peers. If you would like to get involved, please do let me know by emailing me. Even if you don't want to perform, I hope you will be able to join us, it will be a night of great music. This will then be followed by an SMS social with the usual free wine, soft drinks and nibbles, so there will be a chance for some conviviality too! Robert Pecksmith (SMS President) Our termcard for Trinity is now online. More information about this term's lunchtime recitals can be found on the recital page. Socials will take place after the evening concerts in weeks 4 and 7. We will also have an SMS dinner at the end of 8th week (details tbc).

We want to let you know about all the exciting musical opportunities in Somerville, and to hear what you think about our facilities and events. Have you played an instrument earlier in your life but now regret giving it up? Perhaps you want to try something completely new? This is the perfect opportunity to meet Somervillians who want to provide instrumental lessons for others in college. Likewise, if you're looking for potential students, do come along and see who might be interested in learning from you! John McElroy (SMS President) Friday, 9th October
