1. AYY’S OPERATING GRANTS 2012

As in the previous years, AYY’s operating grants can be applied for the year 2012 in the spring. You should mark down in your calendar the following dates; Thursday, 1 March, when the application system will open and Sunday, 1 April, when it will close. You can already read AYY.fi section Grants for Associations, so that you are aware of the obligations that the association has in order to receive the operating grant. There may be changes made to the scoring model of the grants on the website in early February. The English and Swedish translations of the scoring model will be available at the end of February.

2. GRAVITATION IS HERE AGAIN!

Gravitation is here again on Shrove Tuesday, 21 Feb. Gravitation is the largest cross-disciplinary party of the beginning of the year and this party will be amazing! Gravitation is arranged at The Circus and it is the official party of the Shrovetide celebrations at Ullanlinnanmäki Hill. Performers include the fantastic Jare & VilleGalle, Haloo Helsinki! and naturally a DJ that will keep the dance floor full. So come and warm yourself up after all the sledding!

3. HAVE YOU ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR SELL GAMES 2012?

Have you noticed that SELL Games 2012 will be organised in Otaniemi? The main organisers are Aalto University Student Union (AYY) and Aalto University Sports Club.

Since these games are hosted by us, we try to collect the largest possible team to represent our own university. We need more participants from the School of Economics and the School of Arts, Design and Architecture, in particular.

Send this message forward to the members, so we can arrange an amazing event!

If SELL Games are not familiar to you, please read this brief information on SELL website http://sell2012.fi/organization/.

After the financial assistance of Unisport, three day participation including meals and HSL ticket will cost €40 for Aalto University students. You can gather your own team from your sports club or participate as an individual to compete and enjoy the sporty atmosphere! You can sign up for the games directly at https://lomake.ayy.fi/liikunta/registration_sell2012/. The deadline for registration at the price of €40 is 20 March and the registration is binding.
