Hey guys please remember to vote in tomorrow’s general elections. Not only is this an important time for University students, as who you vote for could determine funding for tertiary issues among other things, but also it is important to vote for the sake of New Zealand, with the voting system we use up for debate.

There are plenty of polling booths available around Massey, including Wellington High School and Toi Whakaari.

Double check your enrollment details at www.heykiwi.org.nz to get some free NZ music, visit www.elections.org.nz to enrol to vote, or visit www.facebook.com/IvoteNZ to ask the orange guy a question.

CoCA Blow Out party!

admin — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 01:23:47 +0000

Hey all you ladies and gents, feeling a need to celebrate the end of the academic year (well, almost, you still have exams)? mawsa, in conjunction with Club CoCA will be holding the first annual Blow Out party over in the Museum Building (Block 10).

It is being held on Friday 21st October from midday til 6pm* in the Museum Building courtyard. Come along for a free BBQ frim 12 til 2.30, followed by a live band from 2.30 til 4, and finally live sets from Buster and DJ B.Lo from 4 til 6pm.

If that doesn’t sound sweet enough, let us sweeten the deal by letting you know about the near criminally cheap deals on drinks: $3 beer and $3 wines. Couldn’t get drinks this cheap unless you happen to be a female in Estab on Wednesdays.

So head on down to the Museum building, check out the free food, free music and (almost) free drinks next Friday, and celebrate the end of the year in style.

*weather permitting
