SCOS Update October

Hello Scossers, are we all back in the swing of things yet? Students swarming around, the occassional last balmy day promising golden afternoons before winter sets in? The trees here are shyly shedding their summer colours, with the odd branch bursting forth in riotous purple. Everyone is clearly brimming with anticipation, with events swarming in for this month's mailing. Poor Scossy has been swamped by the requests, being reduced only to a Haiku message for reasons of brevity. I'm sure his attempts will nonetheless be appreciated.

As always, please send in anything you would like circulated to members, and feel free to post events on the facebook group too!
