BOWLING!

We've managed to get an awesome 50% off deal at Hollywood Bowl for Wednesday 15th June! It's £6.95 for two games, and a free drink (under-18s will have to have a non-alcoholic drink). There will also be a prize for the best score! If you want to come with us, sign up in student services or send an email to [email protected]

We'll be meeting outside Liverpool Guild of Students at 6.30pm, and getting taxis to the bowling alley. The society will cover the cost of the taxis, so don't worry about the extra cost. 

There's also a bar and arcade at the bowling alley (you will have to bring extra money for alcohol, or change for the machines in the arcade).

We hope to see you there :-D

Voting is open in the committee elections

Treasurer candidate Faisal Husain

"I would like to be treasurer because of the responsibility I have towards the society I would like to play an important role in the society and I think this is the perfect job for me as I have done this job previously before arriving Liverpool. In high school I was in the student representative council and mu role was treasure for 2 years and quite a successful run. If you vote for me you will have a stable treasurer which is needed for every newly based society. We're a new society therefore, what we need right now is a stability a good start with a good foundation for this society to bloom. Few things you need to know about me: I'm understanding, negligible, and very responsible. Qualities I believe are necessary for a treasurer. So who are you going to vote for?! Don't go for someone who has no experience that will eventually end in mistakes and problems. Ask someone who's seen the consequence of that happening but at the same time it's true that sometimes the new person might be the right person I proved that 3 years ago and I would like to prove it to you guys now."

Voting is open in the committee elections

Vice President candidate Talal Al-Bahri

"My name is Talal Al-Bahri and I’m running for the position of vice president in Liverpool International College Society.

I’m organized, hard working, and I take things seriously. Moreover, I’ve had previous experiences in working and being part of committees back in my home country. I believe that we could change LIC Society in a good and in a better way. I want every student in LIC to have an unforgettable experience. My main aim is to plan and organize social, educational, cultural and entertaining events that could result in breaking the ice between the students and making them more connected. In addition, I would like make our society more connected to the guild of students and its societies. Together we could make LIC Society one of the most popular societies in Liverpool.

So, vote for me and I promise we won’t let you down!

Sincerely,

Talal Al-Bahri"

Voting is open in the committee elections

Presidential candidate Jack Okpoyo

"My name is Jack and I am a fun loving individual, one time President Press Club. Why should you vote me President? Okay I'll tell you. We see the LIC Society as a club to relax, unwind and have fun, forget about our essays, reports, classwork and basically school stress. A place to just chill before returning to school work. If you vote for me, there will never be a dull moment in the society, lots of fun activities- picnics, independence day, birthdays of members, halloween parties, and the list continues. And finally, if you vote me no member gets left behind, every member will have a heard opinion and contributions. No dulling. Just vote Jack for an exceptional LIC Society" Jack Okpoyo

Presidential candidate Shiraz Riache.

"As possible future President of the LIC Society, I look forward to making this society more lively. I believe that the LIC Society has been created for a great purpose and has the potential to be a successful society. I intend on organising more social gatherings that will have for the purpose to bring the whole student body of the LIC together, helping eliminate any borders that may have been formed, so that the LIC can become one solid unity. Not only that but I also have the intention of creating socials that meet everyone's interests. Lastly, as part of the University of Liverpool, I find that we deserve to be more integrated with it, and for that reason I intend on creating socials that will bring us together with UoL" Shiraz Riache.
