1. AYY’S IMPROVED FACILITY BOOKING PRACTICES
The booking status of all AYY’s facilities and the van can now be checked electronically. Real-time forms are available at ayy.fi/tilojen-vuokraaminen. You can also submit a facility reservation request with the electronic form available at https://lomake.ayy.fi/hallinto/tilavarauspyynto/. Unfortunately the content of both forms is only available in Finnish for now.
The reform aims to serve AYY’s members and student organisations better and reduce the workload of the services office. Comments and suggestions concerning the reform can be sent to Producer Tuomas Saloniemi (tuomas.saloniemi@ayy.fi, tel. 050 520 9435)
The advance booking event for the facilities in the autumn will be most likely organised on Thursday, 16 May 2013. AYY will inform about the booking event in more detail closer to the event.
2. STILL TIME TO APPLY FOR AYY’S RULE COMMITTEE
Are you interested in the Associations Act and particularly the rule issues of the student union and student associations? Join AYY’s rule committee! The rule committee acts as the observer and developer of the student union rules and helps the associations operating within AYY with rule technical issues. The rule committee has drafted the model rules provided for the associations, among other things. In accordance with the Associations Act in Finland, the official rules of the associations must be in Finnish and therefore the working language of the committee is Finnish.
The term of office of the rule committee is a calendar year and the committee members are appointed by AYY’s Board.
The application period is open between 23 Jan–6 Feb 2013. You can apply at https://lomake.ayy.fi/rekry/saantotoimikunta-stadgekommitten-regulation-committee/.
3. MAIN ADMINISTRATOR NOTIFICATIONS FOR OTAX MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 28 MARCH
Otax is the web hosting service for the associations maintained by AYY. Details can be found at /website-services-on-otax/. If your association uses Otax, please notice that the main administrator notifications for Otax must be submitted by 28 March. For those accounts for which the notification is not made, the user names will be locked on 1 April. After one month, the website of the account will also be closed.
So please update your PHP applications at Otax to the latest versions and then fill in the administrator notification. Please remember to mention which software and versions are running. Also clear additional SSH keys from .ssh/authorized_keys file.
You can submit the notification at http://yhdistykset.ayy.fi/yllapitajailmoitus/ – please submit your notification on time and fill it out carefully.
4. AEGEE-HELSINKI SECOND HAND BRUNCH
AEGEE-Helsinki invites you to second hand brunch at 12noon on Sunday, 3 Feb. You can arrive between 12noon and 4pm, but we cannot guarantee that there is brunch left for the last comers 😉 The event is open to everyone, you can take a friend with you!
Idea: Bring clothes, shoes and accessories which you no longer need to the flea market for free, and find new additions to your wardrobe from other tables. You can either buy or exchange items, everything is negotiable with the seller of the goods. In connection with the fleamarket, we enjoy brunch in good company.
Instructions: It is advisable to price the products in advance. Please also take cash and small change with you.
How to get there: The event is held in our office Gustavus Rex (Domus Academica) at the address Leppäsuonkatu 11, Helsinki. Press the buzzer “Gustavus Rex”, and someone will open the door for you.

5. VOGUING DANCE COURSE AT POLIJAZZ
Try out the new hit dance VOGUING in the intensive course of the dance association Polijazz in February!!
Course description: Voguing is a showy and feminine dance style from the clubs of New York. The dance emphasises the graceful movement of arms and a self-confident attitude and it is very much influenced by the fashion world. In the intensive course of Polijazz, we go through the basics in two voguing styles: vogue new way and vogue femme, learn poses, catwalk
and dips, and a short choreography is made on both days.
The two-day intensive course is organised in Otaniemi, Espoo, in early February:
- Sat, 2 Feb, 12.30pm-2pm Otahalli mirror hall (Otaranta 6)
- Mon, 4 Feb, 4pm-5.30pm Jämeräntaival 3A multi-purpose facilities
Voguing is taught by Lilli Huttula. The course fee is €14.
