Fwd: End-of-Year Party
by Mian Wei 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

Hi everyone, This is just a reminder that we will be curling for the end-of-year party tomorrow between 2-4pm at Leaside Curling Club and then going to the Rose and Crown bar at Yonge/Eglinton after that, there will be food and drinks. *Reminder*: each person should *bring a pair of clean indoor shoes* to change into before going out onto the ice. As well, each person should wear warm stretchy clothing and bring a pair of gloves to wear in the ice shed. Sincerely, Mian Wei ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mian Wei <mianwei(a)dgp.toronto.edu> Date: Wed, Dec 11, 2019, 7:07 PM Subject: End-of-Year Party To: <social(a)dgp.toronto.edu> Hi everyone, I finally have all the details of the party worked out. The party will be happening on *December 20th, 2019*. I have 4 sheets of ice booked for curling at the *Leaside Curling Club from* *2-4 PM*, address: (you should learn Google) 1075 Millwood Rd, M4G 1X6. Each sheet accommodates up to 8 people (can be more, but only 8 play) with instructors. Make sure to arrive a bit beforehand. I leave it to you to figure out how to get there, but I will leave from the lab with a group. (I'll send more details about timing closer to the date). I have also made a reservation at *the Rose and Crown* on Yonge/Eglinton for *5 PM*. There is a pool table and TVs there. There is a TTC bus that goes directly from Leaside to Yonge/Eglinton that comes every 20 minutes or so and takes 30 minutes, but I'll let everyone figure out transportation themselves. Here are some general guidelines for curling (copy paste): Proper clothing and footwear should be worn at all times on the curling ice. Clothing should be warm and loose fitting. If you do not have curling shoes, clean indoor running shoes with a rubber flat sole (no heel) are appropriate. Step-on sliders will be supplied by the club for those not owning curling shoes. Street shoes and boots which are worn to the club ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. Although not mandatory, Leaside Curling Club strongly recommends the wearing of protective head gear for all individuals using the curling facility. *IMPORTANT: *transportation is not taken care of for you, sorry! Anyways, mark your calendars and hope to see you there. Sincerely, Mian Wei

Hi Christoph, Thanks for reaching out. I am copying my group with this email. If there is any interested member to participate in this study, they can directly contact you. Group - Christoph's group has developed a game, which I am sure is interesting, and they need volunteers to spend 2 hours to give them feedback. If you are interested, please contact Christoph directly.
