What better way to celebrate the 60th birthday of the greatest Engineering Faculty in Australia by
picking up a free snag and a cold one at the BBQ for all Engineering students. While you're relaxing
on the grass in the sun on a lazy Thursday afternoon (something Engineering students rarely have time
for) make sure you
cheer on your footy team in the Annual Engineering Sports Day competition. Civil Engineering are the defending champions from 2008. The traditionally strong teams from Mech, Elec, Mining and Chem are back for revenge, with the Computing, Petroleum and PV/Surveying teams are harbouring some secret weapons in their ranks. If you want to play for your society/school then check out the teams section below on how to contact your society. Every team must provide someone to referee one game, so if you have a decent grasp of the rules and can judge 5m then contact your society as well. When: Thursday 6th August 2009 (Week 3) Time: 12pm - 4pm Where: Village Green Cost: Everything is FREE Food & Drink: The free BBQ will include sausages, including vegetarian and halal options. We will also have beer and soft drinks available. CheerSoc will be there to help you cheer on your team. There will also be competitions and great prizes (like a textbook voucher), and a Navy helicopter will also be landing on the Village Green throughout the afternoon. |
