UQMSA Market Day Sem1, 2012

So the new semester begins, and how do we know that?

There was Market Day of course!

Market Day is UQ Union’s official welcome event where all students get to pick and choose which clubs and societies they want to be involved with throughout the year.

 Well a lot of you guys sure made the right choice because  UQMSA  hit a new record for sign-ups of new members! Guess being last year’s international club of the year sure helps eh? =D

It was great to see fellow Malaysians, both new members and old members turn up to sign up with us on the day.

What made it even better was that it wasn’t just Malaysians who wanted to be a part of our awesome little club, we had people from Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Chinese and Hong Kong signing up with us too! Or maybe it was the free food that we were offering to those who signed up that did the trick! =P

People snacking away while waiting in line to sign-up!

 And ouh man, did we have long lines!

Market Day turnout out great and we ended the day with more than 300 members signing up with  UQMSA !

If that’s not a good way to start off the semester I don’t know what is =)

Warmest Regards,

UQMSA Committee

2nd Semester Trip: Bright and Sunny Coast!

This semester, UQMSA is headed to the Sunshine Coast for a one-day trip during the holidays! Woohoo! The highlight of the trip would be the Eumundi Markets, famous for its food, music and quirky stalls that sell pretty much anything and everything! Visit their website HERE.

This is not to say that the beach won't be fantastic though! :P

This is what we have scheduled:

Day & Date - Next Saturday, 22nd September 2007
Proceedings -

* Leave UQ by 8:15 am
* Arrive at Eumundi Markets by 10:30 am (latest)
* Leave markets and head for Mooloolaba by 1:30 - 1:45 pm
* Leave Mooloolaba by 4 pm
* Arrive back in UQ by 6 pm

Cost: $30 for all UQMSA members (non-UQMSA members will be charged $35 but members are given priority)

As you can see, we don't have many spots available so do register as soon as possible! We will require payment upfront so that we can charter the bus. Our registration booth will be outside STA Travel this coming Wednesday (12th September) from 12 pm - 2 pm. Refunds will not be offered for cancellations but hey, it's gonna be on next Saturday anyway! :) We also accept registrations and payment this Friday during Lantern Festival if we still have spots available!

The holidays seem better and better everytime we think about it!
