Friday the 6th of May: Trip to see the wonders of Egypt at the British Museum
This is going to be awesome! There are mummified cats and alligators, wall paintings from tombs, and of course the mummified bodies of ancient Egypt's rich and powerful. Best of all, it's completely free! We'll be meeting at 6pm on the steps at the front of the British Museum. The nearest tube station is Russell Square. Find out more about the collection and the museum in general here
Friday the 13th of May: Going Bowling at Queens Ice and Bowl
Due to popular demand, we'll be taking a group to the hugely popular 'Queens Ice and Bowl' bowling alley, which not only has bowling lanes, but also Ice Skating, and food aswell! Come along! More details to follow.
Friday the 20th of May: End of term Pub Night

April 2011 Social Events!!!!
Spring has arrived!
The sun has come out (London got close to a baking 28 degrees c last weekend!), people are starting to stagger out blinking into the streets after the long hibernation of winter, and here at Rose of York we've prepared a smörgåsbord of exciting events to keep students and staff busy.
Friday the 15th of April saw the return of the hallowed tradition that is 'mid-term pub night' at our local boozer, the 'Pontefract Castle' pub. Everyone was keen to unwind after the stress and strain of the mid-term exams, and a great crowd of people piled into the basement alcoves of the pub to drink, chat and make merry. Check out the photos on Rose of York's facebook page, or on the photo section of the official website that probably linked you here.
As you may already know, last Sunday (the 24th of April) was Easter, and so both Friday and Monday either side of it were bank holidays. We commemorated the season with a bombastic scavenger hunt on Thursday the 21st of April, that saw students spilling into the streets in order to gather clues, spot landmarks, and collect items. The winners received chocolate, as did the losers. A great time was had by all, and the scavenger hunt looks set to become an annual tradition. Photos are on the website and facebook page, as with the pub trip.
We'd love to know what you would like to see in future social events, why not get in touch? You can do so either by posting a comment here, or through the facebook page. Let us know what you want to see!
There will be a few select photos arriving here as well over the next few days, so visit back and check it out!
Bye for now. :-)
