Dear Friends,

Presidential Elections (17 January 2010)
Dear Friends,
If you are the citizens of Ukraine and wish to exercise your right to vote in the elections, you must register with the Consular Section of the Embassy of Ukraine in London. You can do this by post, which will cost around £20 (£10 consular fee and postal expenses/trip to London). Since the list of voters is approved 6 days before the date of the election, you must get registered before the 10th of January if you wish to vote in the first round.

Wednesdays CUUS meetings
The CUUS has an informal society meeting every other Wednesday in Wolfson College. You are very welcome to come and socialise over a cup of tea, sing songs (guitars or any other musical instruments encouraged!), play pool or table tennis. You can end the evening in style by going to dance salsa from 10pm in Wolfson College. This is very popular with some of our members. A voluntary contribution of £1-2 for tea and biscuits would be much appreciated.
This is how to find the room once you get to Wolfson: As you face the main entrance to the Porter's lodge, it is a separate standing building on your right. Lee room is on the 1st floor (directly above the seminar room if you know where it is). http://www.wolfson.cam.ac.uk/tour/leeroom/
The next meeting takes place on:
Date: first Wednesday of term
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: Lee Room, Wolfson College
We look forward to seeing you there!
Collection of academic books for the university libraries in Ukraine
Poster: Media:20090610_cuus_book_collection_poster.pdf
CUUS initiates a collection of academic books for the university libraries in Ukraine. We would like to call for students who have textbooks and other academic literature on a number of subjects, and wish to donate them, to support our initiative.
This year we would like to give the collected books to the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kyjevo-Mohylyansyka Academiya), one of the first educational centres in Eastern Europe. The Academy was founded in 1615, but it was dismantled by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The Kyiv-Mohyla Academy was re-opened in 1991: http://www.ukma.kiev.ua/eng_site/index.php
We welcome books in economics, sociology, psychology, law, history, philosophy, anthropology, political sciences, linguistics, literature, computer sciences and natural sciences.
Books can be dropped off at Porters’ lodge, Old Court, Clare College until 21st June: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=clare+college+cambridge&fb=1&split=1&gl=uk&cid=0,0,14189596670718238258&ei=ElseSuK5PMLMjAfLreSNDQ&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1

Sport and travel 2009
Weather is always good in UK, rain is usually short and warm. Last Easter we enjoyed 3 days of sunshine near the Honister pass, considered the wettest place in England.
CUUS is making a call for people willing to do some hiking or other outdoor activities like cycling, football, tennis, running. Quite often sport is followed with a good meal, barbecue, ets.
Please contact us or come to our events if you want to join a group of active people or if you want to recruit a participants to your group.
It's good to be ready a little in advance of a weekend or bank holiday: we need 1.List of people (please specify if you have any transport or driving licence) 2.List of possible destinations for trips (day, weekend, long weekend) 3.List of people willing to play football or other games.
Please e-mail Andriy (ad468@eng.cam.ac.uk) and he will try to make those lists.
