This Week at Canvas – 17 May 2010

Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Nathan in Blog, Events

Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the first day of sun we’ve had in a while. Summerpalooza was a success and we discovered a few things about ourselves:

• Matt Huniak only eats good cheese… not 70% cheese.
• Tom ivey can’t catch and eat an ice pop at the same time.
• Claire Parlby should join the University kick-ball team.
• We eat a lot of beef burgers.

I hope everyone’s exams are going well and that most of you are still alive! Here’s what’s going on at Canvas this week:

FREE CINNAMON ROLLS. MONDAY. 4 PM. Every week, now that we’ve perfected the recipe, we bake an enormous amount of cinnamon rolls for your eating pleasure. We know you are spending a lot of time revising these days, so take a break and come down to Canvas today at 4!

TUESDAY NIGHT LITE. 8 PM. Just like last term, every Tuesday night, we eat dinner, listen to the band play some good stuff, and hear from one of our own Canvas staff members talk about their journey through the Christian faith. This week, because you have exams to get ready for, the same things will happen, but we’ll end the night a little earlier than before. I hope you can make it!

FREE BBQ. THURSDAY. 7 PM. According to Olly, we’ve officially “pulled out all the stops” on Thursday nights. I might have to agree with him. Every Thursday, we grill burgers, eat some delicious sides made by Leah and Alli, and enjoy each others’ company as we all take a break from the week and hang out at Canvas. Come eat some free dinner!

That’s pretty much what’s happening this week around Canvas. In the afternoons from 12-2, we’ll be handing out free tea and coffee outside Canvas for people on the way to or from Uni. Come by and grab something to drink if you’ve got the time.

See you soon!

This Week at Canvas – 10 May 2010

I hope you all are enjoying this time of being under a hung parliament… I didn’t know what to expect, but I have to say it’s not as bad as I thought. Select and Save is still open and Friends is still on TV every time I turn it on.

The world is going to be okay… and here’s what’s going on in and around the Canvas House this week:

FREE CINNAMON ROLLS. MONDAY. 4 PM. There’s this thing we like to do lately that I think is one the greatest ideas we’re ever had. Every Monday @ 4, we bake cinnamon rolls and give them out for free! As much as I look forward to a couple left-over treats, I’d rather you get the chance to experience all that are Canvas cinnamon rolls! Come by tomorrow and take a break from revision.

TUESDAY NIGHT LITE. 8 PM. Every week, as you’ve probably noticed, we like to eat together, listen to wonderful music from the Canvas band, and listen to a great talk. Well, this Tuesday, it’s happening again and we’re very excited that our very own Brooks Tellekamp will be sharing with us his experience in England, in life, and in faith. Dinner starts at 8 and we’ll close Canvas around 10 so you have the chance to go home and revise! See you there.

FREE BBQ. THURSDAY. 7 PM. Last term, we grilled burgers in the afternoon and hung out at night while we ate soup. That was great and everything, but this term, we’re grilling a copious amount of burgers with salad, crisps, biscuits… the whole works! Take a break from revision, get out of bed, leave the library and come eat a burger with us at Canvas this week!

SUMMERPALOOZA! SATURDAY. 12 PM. This weekend, we’re inviting everyone who’s ever been a part of, inside, or around Canvas to come to Selly Park at midday to have a BBQ for lunch, play in the 1st Annual Canvas Kickball Game, and spend the afternoon hanging out with each other. It’s the perfect way to forget about Uni for a while and reunite with the Canvas community. I hope everyone can make it because it’s going to be the best day ever!

That’s what happening this week. Come by on your way to or on your back from Uni and grab some tea or coffee… You can try to beat Finerty in ping-pong. The house is open (and relatively quiet) for you to come and do some revision during the day.

See you all very soon!

This Week at Canvas – 3 May 2010

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you are getting a lot of work finished! Here’s what’s happening this week:

FREE CINNAMON ROLLS. MONDAY. 4 PM. Each week during the term, we’ll be baking some delicious cinnamon rolls to give you a nice break from the revision. Alli says she has perfected the recipe, but if I were you, I’d come by and judge for yourself… Take a break from the library, from in front of your laptop, or get out of bed and come hang out for a little bit at Canvas tomorrow afternoon!

TUESDAY NIGHT LITE. 8 PM. Similar to last term, we’ll eat a good, warm meal, listen to music, and hear a talk. But, things will be a little bit quicker, and you’ll get the chance to hear from the Canvas exchange students about their experience in England, in faith, and in life. This week, our very own Katie Edenfield will be gracing us with her words. I hope you can make it. We’ll be kicking everyone out of the building around 10 so you can go revise and not fail your exams… so don’t worry about not getting your work done.

THURSDAY NIGHT BBQ. 7 PM. If you enjoyed the Thursday afternoon bbqs… and found yourself eating at Canvas on Thursday nights, then you are in for a treat! Because we’ve combined both of those wonderful events into one amazing evening. Each week, we’ll fire up the grill, cook some burgers and sides, and sit around and eat together. Again, take a break from revision and eat a free dinner at Canvas.

That’s pretty much what’s going on this week. The doors are open every day for you to come in and do some revision, drink some tea or coffee. I should also say that if you haven’t signed our exchange students’ flags, this would be the perfect week to do that.

Hope to see you soon!
