Quiz Night @ TABLEtalk

Our numbers at TABLEtalk seem to have snowballed over the past few weeks. Two weeks ago we hit an all-time record of 47 students!!!
Not only are numbers high, we also continue to have an extremely wide variety of nationalities coming to events.  In recent weeks we've welcomed students from ... Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Holland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Lithuania, Mauritius, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.  It has also been GREAT to welcome some regular British students :-)

Yesterday (Oct 21st) we had our once-a-semester quiz night. Quiz night is usually greeted with some initial groans; that is, until students get into the competitive nature of the evening.  

Here are the teams ...

'The Sunny Summers'
Ang, Amira, TianXia, Yasir, Adriane & Ana
'The Fun Friends'
Selin, Lieke, ???, Marina & Tashfeen
'The Dangerous Dragons'
Karim, Yang, Mark, Mohammad & Rafaela
 
'The Brilliant Bees'
Joey, Mohamed, Luiza, Solomon, Lubaib & Andrea
'The Crazy Crew'
Han, Raquel, Earl, Aiste & Basel
'The Happy Humans'
Ozge, Cibele, Emma, Eadom, Flavia & Hazel
'The Mighty Minions'
Chi, Chiao, Alex, Wisnu, Stanley & Deep
It was a very closely fought battle but our winning team on the evening was ...
'The Big Bang'
Antonio, Dushan, Sinem, Naomi & Christina

Thank you!

Hallo Mutti von Flavia!
Man hat mir gesagt, dass Sie unseren Studentenblog gesehen haben, deshalb dachte ich bei Ihnen eine kurze Nachricht hinterlassen.
Vielen Dank für die Schokoladen, die Sie mir geschickt haben. Das war sehr nett von Ihnen.
Vielleicht werden Sie Flavia doch mal besuchen, dann können wir einander Auge in Auge treffen.
Noch einmal herzlichen Dank.
Viele Segen.

Canterbury Trip

Another great student trip, organised by the university and staffed by the chaplaincy.  Yesterday, October 18th, over 100 students from Greenwich, Avery Hill and Medway campuses enjoyed a sunny day in Canterbury, exploring the town, walking the ancient city walls, enjoying the river, etc.

Do please send more of your photos of the day :-)

Port Lympne Animal Park

What a great day out at Port Lympne Animal Park.  Joy and co it was marvellous spending some time with you before having to say goodbye  ...  always the least favourite part of my role.



Here are some of the animals we saw ...


"Joy, thank you for all your support and encouragement and friendship over the past year.  It's been great getting
to know you and I hope we can keep in touch.
See you in Thailand sometime!"
