THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FILM CLUB PRESENTS: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

We are happy to announce that the film club will be screening Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Tuesday 4th of Feb at 17.15 in Helikon, Arken. Britannica will be serving snacks for the bargain price of 1 €.

Eternal Sunshine is directed by the wonderful Michel Gondry and is regarded as a quirky classic of the 00's. My personal opinion is that it truly is a gem of coolness, a fantastical portrait of love and the mysteries of the mind. Check out the trailer here.

 

 

See you Tuesday!

Christmas Party

Ho ho ho!

Britannica is once again hosting an annual Christmas party for the whole Eng. Dep.

This year the event will take place in Kramer (Arken M220), Thursday December 12th @ 6 pm onward.

You will be treated to mulled wine, rice porridge, christmas bread loaf, gingerbread cookies, christmas pastries, and a surprise programme or two.

And all this for the measly sum of 3€ (or 5€ if you are not a Britannica member)!

As this year is sort of special for Britannica, we will also be presenting our very own Big Fat Quiz of the Year (although unfortunately we did not get Jimmy Carr to present for us). 

This year we will also be having a Secret Santa. So if you wish, you may bring a small Christmas present (worth a few euros), and in return you will receive a present someone else has brought. 
(If you didn't get it, look up secret santa on the interwebs)

Lasertag

Britannica's second to last event this year is another round of Megazone Lasertag, on Wednesday December 11 @ 5:40 pm - 6:10 pm. 

This event takes place during exam week because we believe that it would be good for all you to come and blow off some steam and let your anxiety pour out of the barrel of a gun (in a controlled environment). 

Afterwards it's usually also customary to go for a drink or two to either celebrate your win or drown your sorrows. 

You can sign up either on Facebook or by emailing britannica (include your name in the mail, and "lasertag" in subject)

NB! Attending is binding! (Also on Facebook)

Price is 7 € for Britannica members and full price (9€) for non-members, please bring that EXACT sum with you to the event. 

Be at Megazone (Eriksgatan 4, Julia House) at 5:30 pm at the latest, and we'll go down to the Zone as a group.

The awesome and legendary Pub Crawl à la Britannica

Britannica welcomes you to one of the greatest events happening during the week of our XL Annual Party! On Wednesday the 6th of November we are going to make the city of Turku a bit more dangerous and start the celebrations in advance with this epic pub crawl!

All you need to know right now is that we will all meet at Bremer on Wednesday at 6pm - Don't be late! You will get all the specific information about the evening there!

The event is free but unfortunately not the many pints you will have during the night. So bring your wallet!

We hope to see you all there!

GAME NIGHT

Let loose your inner geek. Britannica is organizing a game night, so you can chill out before the big PARTY.

What? GAME NIGHT
When? Thursday, November 7th. Gaming starts @ 6 pm ->
Where? In Arken, Student's Lounge.
Why? Need more events leading up to Britannica's XL Annual Party. :) And playing board games is the ultimate cool geekness.

Refreshments available if there's anything left from earlier events during the week. :) 
So bring and share; that goes for both snacks and games.
