SMA Mentor Dinner

Hey everybody!  Hope your new rotations are going well!

Just a reminder that our SMA mentor dinner with W/Prof Bruce Robinson is on next Thursday the 14th of July, at 7:30pm.  For those who are on our mailing list, please make sure you have a read of the emails we have sent out so you know how to get there.  If you'd like to come and you're not on our mailing list, just drop us a line and we'll send you the details!

As July the 14th is Bastille Day, Prof. Robinson suggested we have add a bit of a French twist to the night!  If you're coming, it would be lovely if you could bring a dish (ideas below) or a drink.  Steph and I are catering for soup (french onion - yum!) and treating you to some macarons, so we'll be needing a few more main dishes (escargot anyone?) and perhaps some more desserts if that tickles your fancy.

Baguettes, Chicken

A pasta dish, Salad

Cheese!

Gateaux, Chocolate Mousse

Again for our current members, please check your emails.  And please reply to them when you can - it gets rather tricky when we are trying to confirm numbers for events like these!

Have a good week!  

Trish & Steph

Hey everyone!  

For those who didn't get the email that was sent around from us last week, here's a little summary of what's happening in the life of SMA in the next few weeks:

At the moment, SMA is a bit on the quiet side due to exams being just around the corner and not much happening in terms of inter-year events, BUT there are 2 things to add to your calendar:

1. Post-exam catch up: we are tossing up the idea of a Sunday morning/afternoon cafe meet up on Sunday 19th June (the last day before we go back to Term 3!).  Please let us know if you have other family/Church commitments on Sundays so we can pick a good time!

2. On JULY 14TH we have a very important occasion - our first mentor dinner.  If you only come to one year group catch up this year, make it this one!  Our mentor is W/Prof. Bruce Robinson (this guy) and we're pretty lucky to have him!  Please keep this date free, and we'll let you all know more details as the event gets closer.

As always, a little bit of comfort-food to keep your brain going (especially since it's study week!!)  Here's a recipe for a mug-cake, which you can whip up in your microwave in 5 minutes.  Top it off with a bit of nutella, then microwave it for an extra 20 seconds for some gooey hazelnutty goodness.

(Kudos if your mug cake looks as nice as the one in the picture.  Whenever I make it, it always seems to grow over the side of the cup like an odd fungus.  Very tasty though.)

Over and out!  

Have a great week - we'll be seeing you on the other side :)
