This Week at Canvas – 24 May 2010

Posted on 24. May, 2010 by Robert in Blog, Events

So, I’ve decided I’m going to start wearing all tangerine in honor of Blackpool’s victory over Cardiff City over the weekend. And it’s not really because I like Blackpool, even though Gordon Ramsey filmed a Kitchen Nightmares there, but really just because I like the color.

Look out world.

Here’s what’s happening at Canvas this week!

FREE CINNAMON ROLLS. 4 PM. Monday. Come by this week for some of our freshly baked, sugar-packed cinnamon rolls. Take a much needed break from revision, sleeping, partying… whatever… and hang out at Canvas for a little bit today!

TUESDAY NIGHT LITE. 8 PM. This is the last Tuesday Night before our End of Year Banquet (sign up for the dinner please!) next week. Come and enjoy the evening with all of us as we eat dinner, listen to the Canvas band, and hear a great talk from one of the canvas staff about his Christian faith. Because it’s the last one, we might do a little something special… you should come to find out!

THURSDAY NIGHT. BBQ. 7 PM. Just like every week this term, we’re “pulling out all the stops” and are doing the best BBQ in Selly Oak. Come eat a burger or two, have some delicious sides, and hang around for………..

OPEN MIC NIGHT! 8 PM. We’ll eat some burgers, sit around and chat, then listen to some of Selly Oak’s finest artists. I heard Brooks and James practicing earlier today and I have to say, it was music to my ears (sorry). So, come eat some free dinner and stick around for some good music. If you want to play on Thursday night, sign up here: http://www.facebook.com/l/f7941;openmic.canvashouse.org.

END OF YEAR BANQUET. Next Tuesday Night is Canvas’ End of Year Banquet when we’ll reminisce about the year gone by and honor our graduating Canvasers. Please sign up on the door in the green room at Canvas if you plan to attend!

See you around this week!

This Week at Canvas – 17 May 2010

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!
