Orientation 2008

As usual , we enjoy head starting our year by organizing the re-gathering of members who are willing to subject themselves to the scrutiny of others whilst shamelessly advertising ourselves via semi-artistic projects on strategic locations around uni - all in the name of welcoming pilgrims searching for direction .

You've got to hand it to the chalk-ers ; we've got to come up with different ideas every semester .

Anyway , i believe that this is where C.O.S.D.U thanks all those who were involved in every effort , especially all those who stood under the sweltering sun for hours at our allocated table on Clubs & Societies Day(s) , trying to entice everyone to join us . Thank you to all those who supported the committee - returning or brand new members , because without any single one of you , it wouldn't have been such a success and so much fun in between .

Here's one for the future of C.O.S.D.U . Let the good times roll .

WYD 2008

World Youth Day will be held in Sydney from 15th to 20th July 2008.

Around 500,00 young people will converge in Sydney from all over the world, in what will be not only a great youth festival of arts, culture and faith, but will will also be the largest gathering of people ever seen in Australia. Catholics and believers of other faith gathering together and to celebrate the Mass with the Pope, it is WYD, it is YOUR day, I am sure you dont wanna miss this. Details as follows:-

TRAVEL TO WYD WITH COSDU !

We'll have a group travelling to World Youth Day by bus on the 14th of July morning reaching in the afternoon and returning on the 21st of July afternoon reaching Melbourne in the evening. ONLY 30 places on the bus, so hurry up! You have only secured a place on the bus once you settle the amount due in full which is AUD 220.00 . In the event of a disagreement caused by over than 30 registrations, my bank account statement will be used to determine whose transaction came in first thus qualifying that person for a sit on the bus. Money paid is not refundable and any changes to personal details with regards to travel should be done between the individual and the transport contractor.
