Introduction:
Hi all,
Welcome to the third term - it's long and difficult and exams are going on all around you. There are 24 hour libraries but also baking sun, just to make those necessary hours spent inside a little harder. But never fear! The Postgraduate Association and UCL Union are here for you, offering great ways to take a break, switch off for a day, and let us know how you're feeling.
There are a whole raft of new initiatives that we have introduced into our bars, including ice cream and (my favourite) Pimm's o'clock! Come down for a little while and take a much deserved break.
We're also running a family friendly picnic later on in the term, and would love to see you all there. Register interest by emailing uczxpgs@ucl.ac.uk and find out more information.
And lastly, if you have a spare five minutes and want a chance to win an evening tasting wine, tickets to a food festival, or vouchers, all you have to do is follow the link below and complete the PGA survey. Let us know what you think about our activities and have an influence on how we operate and what we do! It's a great chance to tell us what you think, and the rewards are pretty good too.
As always, if you wish to submit your own events, news or advertisements for housing, etc please send an email to d.hawk@ucl.ac.ukand remember to include important information like dates, times and contact details.
Until next time!

PGA Annual Survey: Win exciting prizes!
The Postgraduate Association values your feedback. Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey. If you think that induction can be improved for postgraduates here is your opportunity to be heard. If you would like more social events for mature postgrads let us know!
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=jrN_2bedgL39s3XCmaD5Md7A_3d_3d
As a thank you for your time, all respondents with a UCL email address will be able to enter into a draw to win exciting prizes:
PG Spotlight: UCL MA Students launch free exhibit ‘Secrets of the Thames: Gresham Ship's final journey’
Over 500 years ago a merchant ship sank to the bottom of the murky Thames. Now, scuba divers and archaeologists have raised the wreck from its previously undetected resting place. As the investigation continues, extreme conservation has hammered through stony concretions to free the objects and long hidden secrets within.
London of the 1500s was a dangerous city. With the import of high quality goods, pirate chases along the Thames were not an uncommon sight. For safety even trade ships found themselves armed to the hilt with several large cannons. One such cannon, found amongst the wreckage bears the insignia of the famous financier and founder of the first English Stock Exchange, Sir Thomas Gresham.
Find out if the Gresham Ship was a victim of an Elizabethan hostile takeover or more innocently the treacherous river Thames. See the intimate daily artefacts from the ships final hours and haunting fated sailor’s shoes visible again and on display for the very first time.
The exhibition, 2009: A Thames Odyssey… the Gresham Ship journey so far, will be on display and open to the public at the UCL Institute of Archaeology from May 11th to 15th, before touring the UK. There is also a Sunday open day on May 10th from 10am to 5pm with guided tours, and the opportunity to enjoy the rooftop balcony view over Bloomsbury.
