This Week at Canvas: Prom on Sunday Night!
Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a relaxing time away from Selly Oak… or at least were able to get a lot of work done.
You’ll never believe what happened a week or so ago. Turns out, some volcano up north exploded and sent ash flying all over the place. And some people got got stuck all over the world spending money to sleep in a bed and spending hours in airport queues…
…I’m not bitter…
But, luckily, that Icelandic volcano won’t be effecting all that is happening at Canvas this week. Here’s what’s going on:
MONDAY. FREE TEA AND COFFEE. 8:30am. Every day this week from 8:30am to 10am, we’ll be serving fresh and free tea, coffee and a breakfast snack in front of Canvas. You can stop by and take it all with you. It’s a great way to get some energy before tackling you’re busy day.
MONDAY. CINNAMON ROLLS. 4 PM. If there’s anything that you need after a long day in the library… or after a long night’s sleep… is a warm, sweet cinnamon roll. Every Monday during this term, we’ll be baking fresh cinnamon rolls for the first 50 people who walk through the doors… So, be sure to come by and grab a snack while you take a break from work.. or video games… or sleeping… See you at 4 tomorrow! (Don’t know what cinnamon rolls are? Check this out.)
TUESDAY NIGHT LITE. 8 PM. Because quite a few people have work to do and are revising for exams that are fast approaching, we will be having a lighter version of Tuesday Nights each week during this term. This week, we’ll eat at 8, listen to some great music, and hear from our very own Emily Desprez. She’ll talk about her faith, about her life, and reminisce on a wonderful year here. We’ll close Canvas pretty early so you can go home and get your work done… and if you want, some of us might be going to the pub… Hope you all can make it this week!
THURSDAY NIGHT BBQ. 7 PM. We’re combining the best of what Thursdays have to offer and forming an almost superhuman event. Each week this month, we’ll be cooking burgers and chips for dinner on Thursday nights. We’ll eat at 7, hang out for a bit, and if anyone needs to, they can go revise after a nice hearty meal. Come by for a burger, some chips, and a break from Uni.
CANVAS PROM. THIS SUNDAY, 2 MAY. If you haven’t already, hurry to your nearest charity shop and purchase your clothes for Sunday’s Prom. Tickets cost £5 and all money goes to the Mexico house-building trip in June. You can come by any time this week to buy your ticket… The Canvas Prom will be held at the Rowheath Pavillion in Bournville and we’ll give directions on Tuesday night.
Re-cap: CANVAS PROM. SUNDAY NIGHT. 8 PM. £5. Refreshments sold on the night.
That’s what is happening this week! it’s gonna be a great term. As always, the house is open each day with hot tea and coffee available. Because it’s a time when everyone is revising, we’ll be turning Canvas into a study location. We’ll try and be as quiet as possible so you can get your work done… I promise!
See you soon!
