Societies

The Broadsheet is a nifty little thing. A twice termly college newspaper that takes a light-hearted approach to reporting, if you're looking for a cheeky distraction from work/avoiding work, it might be just the ticket for you. It's crammed full of updates on college events, news, oh-so-cryptic reports on liaisons within Trinity, and a few choice photos to make us drool (or cringe...). The perfect aid to procrastination.

Get in touch if you fancy getting involved, whether to write, contribute photos or even show some skin for Fit Staircase. PLus, don't forget to let affinity know what you (or your peers) have been getting up to. College lives on gossip.

Trinity College CU is a group of Christians who meet regularly to study the Bible, pray, support each other in our faith and have a good time in each other's company.

Christians of any denomination and anyone who is interested in finding out more about Christianity can come along any time; we would love to welcome you. We have a weekly Bible study, regular prayer meetings and put on various outreach and social events during the term. Our main CU meeting happens every fortnight on Wednesday at 8pm in one of the reps rooms. Regular email updates will let you know where we are from week to week. Every other week on Wednesday we meet at the lodge and head off for a large central meeting with the other CUs at St Aldates Church.

If you are a non-Christian wanting to find out more about Christianity, or a Christian wanting to brush up on the basics, or to find out how to get stuck in with the CU please don't hesitate to get in touch with us!! Also, if you are looking for a church, Bible study group, or anything else, we have details of many different churches of all denominations - all you have to do is ask!

If you have any questions, or want to know more about Trinity CU please get in touch or just drop in for a chat! For updated OICCU news check out http://www.oiccu.org.uk/.

A Trinity institution.

One of Trinity's oldest established societies, the Officers and Master of the Gryphon will be pleased to receive members old and new to debate motions both relevant and irreverent after hall on Sundays. All welcome, non-debaters encouraged. Contact the Master gregory.stacy@trinity.ox.ac.uk for more details or join our Facebook Group.

Open to everyone, not just lawyers - email me to be put on the mailing list about firm open days, the law fair and drinks receptions, which are all really fun and great for free stuff! I have a stash of prospectuses etc in my room if anyone wants.

Also, potential for guest speakers and always the excitement of the Michael Beloff Law Society Dinner in Hilary term.

Trinity College Music Society is open to all college members and is a source of help with funding (application forms can be found here, publicity or anything else music related.

Music Society Events:

• PRESIDENT'S CONCERT - a termly concert which showcases many of Trinity's talented musicians. Everyone is welcome to perform and there is a free interval drink in the President's Lodgings for audience and performers alike. Please contact Solomon if you would like to play in this term's concert.
• OPEN MIC NIGHT- a termly event. Come along and share the talent or simply support your friends whilst raising funds for student fundraising efforts.
• LUNCHTIME RECITALS - these allow soloists to show-case their talent by perfoming longer programmes. Trinitarians are given priority, but members from other colleges may also perform. The recitals are free with a retiring collection and everyone is welcome to attend. They usually take place 1:15 2:00, finishing in time for scientists to get to afternoon lectures, or else do join us in the Beer Cellar afterwards for refreshments. Anyone interested in giving a recital should contact Katherine.
• ARTS WEEK - 6th Week Hilary Term. Lots of recitals, concerts and other musical events all through the week. Arts Week 2011 was fantastic and we await 2012 with baited breath.

Occassional meetings, with guest speakers offering insightful and interesting views on issues falling within the realm of Philosophy, Politics or Economics (PPE).

Speakers have included:

• Lord Archer
• Edward Pearce
• Simon Heffer
• Adam Afriyie
• Stephan Shakespeare
• Our very own Sir Ivor Roberts

The Society welcomes all to events unless otherwise specified in particular event details.

The now-annual Trinity College Arts Festival takes place in 5th and 6th week of Hilary term. Drama, music, poetry and art are all featured and ideas for new events are always welcome.

From the folk who organised Arts Week: A termly magazine covering all submitted art from Trinity's students, and rather worth perusing. To submit- leave artwork at the lodge for the publication by 6th week or email a suitably print-worthy jpeg to my good self. To add a piece to our usual collection of stirling interviews, features and vignettes, do the exact same, but with a note offering to help. It's colorific!

The Trinity Fine Art Society holds life drawing classes every Tuesday from 7-9pm in the Sutro Room. It is a friendly, relaxed class and absolutely no experience is necessary. The class costs £6 all materials, model and our lovely tutor Francis O'Neill included. To sign up for a class or be put on our mailing list email either Cicely or Christo.

The Trinity College Orchestra

Trinity Orchestra rehearses 7pm on Mondays. For more information visit our website or email orchestra@trinity.ox.ac.uk

Look out for the Freshers' Cuppers drama competition. In Michaelmas 2011, Trinity won overall and the cast were treated to High Table so it's worth getting involved.

We also hold the Trinity Lawns play every summer come rain or shine (leading to the occassional dash into Chapel to finish the last few scenes).

The Trinity Singers is starting up again after an absence of a year. We have performed at balls and in concerts in the past, and are an a capella group singing modern popular songs and jazz standards for fun.
