1) TINGEWICK OPEN MIC NIGHT *************************************************************** At Osler House, Bar open from 5pm, music from 7.30pm. £2 entry, free before 6.30pm. All welcome to sing/ play. Email bernard.maybury@medschool.ox.ac.uk with any questions about performing or just turn up and sing! x *************************************************************** 2) Parents, pair up! OK guys, exciting news – soon you shall all be hearing the patter of tiny 4th-year feet, and this can mean only one thing – adoption time! So find yourself a partner (same sex couples are more than welcome, welfare is a broad church and much like Argentina open our arms wide and embrace pairings of all sorts) and let either myself or Sheila know about the happy union. We will then bless you each with your own little bundle of pride and joy, to mould into your own image (or neglect, but please don’t do this, it would make me very sad). If you think that the responsibility would be too much than you can opt out (but we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know, otherwise we might just give you a child anyway), but the commitment really isn’t very much, and it’s a great way to begin the integration of our years into one big happy family. Welfare love, Chris and Sheila x *************************************************************** 3) Paediatric Teaching Committee The next paediatric teaching committee is coming up next week and I would like to know if anyone has any comments/feedback? I you have anything you wish me to raise on your behalf, good or bad, then please email me at rebecca.davies@lincoln.ox.ac.uk. *************************************************************** 4) Medical Protections Society Toasters The MPS rep has given us a box of 10 MPS toasters, he said they’re made in the same factory as Kenwood toasters so should be quite good. They have 2 long slots for four slices of bread, variable browning control, defrost, and a removable crumb tray. If you’d like one please e-mail me directly at miriam.thake@merton.ox.ac.uk. Ps I didn’t put this in the title as I don’ want to get inundated, but they are free, first come first served, and I’ll leave them in your pidge this week. Miriam x ================================================================================ Well that’s all for this week, I leave you with something I noted during my walk home, goodnight x “The bamboo groves of autumn are beautiful. Each bamboo tree stands independently, growing straight and tall toward the sky. Yet in the ground, out of sight, their roots are interconnected. In the same way, true friendship is an enduring bond that connects self-reliant individuals.” -Samir Just to let you know, Miriam is off to South Africa for her paeds and Samir has kindly agreed to send out the Osler Bulletin whilst she’s away (I apologise in advance for anything inappropriate that gets sent out over the next 4 weeks…) Therefore if you want anything included in the Osler bulletin you need to send it to this address (oslerbulletin@gmail.co.uk) and NOT Miriam’s email address. 1.

Welfare love, Chris This week I am sending out the Freshers information to the incoming 4th years – if you have anything that you would like to be included in the Fresher pack please email me (miriam.thake@medschool.ox.ac.uk) asap! ************************************************ Hi all. 3 IMPORTANT sports/socs notices. Please read and reply ASAP, as 2 & 3 have short deadlines. 1. MEDICS VARSITY. Medics Varsity 2010 is fast approaching, and we’re in the midst of planning everything. What we need is to hear from the Captains of sports teams that wish to participate, and how many people are going to be involved in playing. I want to hear from all sports, whether they are the big sports (football, rugby, hockey etc.) or have never happened at varsity. If you don’t get in touch with these details we won’t be able to make the necessary bookings for pitches/courts, or provide enough stash etc. Please email me (rob.middleton@medschool.ox.ac.uk) with these details. 2. SPORTS/SOCS TIMETABLE. For the Fresher’s pack, we are including a timetable of sports/socs. Please reply to me (rob.middleton@medschool.ox.ac.uk) with details of WHERE and WHEN your club has meets, and if people need to bring any gear with them. This way we can put this essential information in the pack, and clubs can get maximum attendance from the word go! Sports/Socs can provide extra info to freshers at the fresher’s fair. Please get this information to me by the end of Monday 19th July. 3. CONTACT DETAILS. You’ve had lots of emails about this, and this is the last one I’ll be sending. If you have not emailed myself (rob.middleton@medschool.ox.ac.uk) about contact detail updates for president/captain positions of societies/sport clubs, then last year’s contact details will be used in the fresher’s pack. I need to hear about this by Monday 19th July as well. Hope you all had good albeit short summer holidays, and are ready for another year of sporty/society goodness.
