Love Notes - The Top 20!

My dear fellow residents,

Today is Valentine's Day and no matter if you're forever alone, together alone or in a *BLOODY* relationship, I hereby present you with some of the best and worst love notes that we have received. Believe me, the Club Committee had an excellent time reading and analyzing them and although we may have been slightly shocked about some of them, others entertained us for quite some time. I think we're ready to say it might be time to make a chart about who has been getting dirty with whom here at IH :) the love notes suggest nasty things are waiting to happen behind closed doors. At the Valentine's Party on February 10th you already heard who won the prizes for best sent/best received/and worst love letter - here you can check them out have a look at the Top 20!!

Happy Valentine's Day (or Single's-Awareness-Day) <3

Won: Best Love Note SENT!

And here .. *drumroll* the Top 20! The sweetest, creepiest, weirdest, most disgusting and funniest of the lot!

Valentine's Day - Love Box

Dear residents,

In light of our Valentine's Day Party, held on 10th of February, your creative and romantic abilities are needed! As you might have noticed, the IH Times Love Box has been set up at the pigeon holes near the reception. You will find official love letter templates in that area - it is your job to write a sweet, hopefully not too graphic, Valentines Day letter or poem to a fellow IH resident, either anonymously or not. If you need inspiration, feel free to consult the love letters from past years which are hanging in front of the lift entrances in the lower ground floor.

The best (and worst) letters will be published on the IH blog and on facebook. Of course, you can also win some prizes for having sent the best letter, for having received the best letter, and for the worst of all. So: be romantic, be creative, proclaim your love or whatever feelings you may have - now is the time to put it all in writing and to submit it. The winners will be announced at the Valentine's Day Party so spread the love and get started! Cupid's arrows are waiting to land in your hearts!

See you soon!
The IH Club Committee <3

IH Wicked Play Outing

IH residents had a wicked night out, full of fun and surprises, as they re-lived their childhood and marveled with the magic of one of the greatest Musical Theater plays of all times: "Wicked". A huge group of 71 residents enjoyed the untold true story of the Witches of OZ at the Apollo Victoria the last 17th and 23rd Nov 2011. Senior Members Rusell Anam and Wallis Motta got an unbelievable discounted price of £15, whilst on top of this they managed to get a subsidy from the IH Club  for many of the tickets. This was a real bargain! All the seats booked were premium seats in the Dress Circle, usually sold at £65 or above.

Here are the receipts... Organising this takes a lot of admin. work - Thanks Russell for everything!

Happy IH Residents on their way to see the show.

Look the great view we got for our seats - Amazing!

The Apollo Victoria is an Art Deco Theater - Senior Member Russell was out and about, ended up seating in the stairs to chat with fellow IH residents.

Here the IH Folk waiting for the show to start

This is the main curtain of the theater- Beautiful Emerald City

Here is Senior Member Wallis Motta Defying Gravity - Ohhhhhhh! LOL!

Those smiles are really of pure happiness.

Everyone was completely excited.

Here our DJ Enzo de Sena and his girlfriend waiting for the 2nd act to go on.

We all acted as good touristy International Students and took plenty of photos.

Amazing company, an incredibly talented cast. Go and watch the show! Don't miss it out!

Many of the students who came to the Outing.

And of course another shot - We didn't all fit into one single shot...

What we loved about Wicked was the production involved in it. The lighting of the stage is incredible, the cranes used and gracefulness of the actresses to appear flying also took our breath away, the dancing and the singing were spotless, the orchestra gave it all. Really a truly amazing night out! We all recommend it!

IH Karaoke Night Nov 2011

IH Club hosted it annual Karaoke night on 18th November 2011 with notable sing along by IH residents. To top things up free pizza was served as a surprise and everyone was absolutely delighted.
