Society Balls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting towards the end of November and start of December is when sports and societies will start having their annual Christmas Balls. This usually includes a three course festive meal and enough wine to make you merry. Most societies do them including Journalism, Rowing, Music, and Law just to name a few. Yes there is even a Yule Ball. Yes I have been to it. Yes it is great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Taf Christmas Meal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Heading down to the University Taf with your housemates and\nfriends is always a fun activity to do. Get yourself a three course meal with\ncomplimentary Candy Cane VK for just \u00a313.50. Book early though as it tends to\nsell out quickly! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yolo Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s that time of year again for the \u2018Lashing through the Snow\u2019 night out. Grab your worst Christmas jumpers and dance the night away to some cheesy tunes at the SU on Friday 13th<\/sup> December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The Winter Showcase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Winter Showcase runs from November 25th<\/sup> all\nthe way until December 13th<\/sup> and is an opportunity for all of Cardiff\u2019s\nfantastic societies to show off their biggest events and talents. This is one\nof Cardiff University\u2019s biggest events of the year with societies such as\nComedy, Bollywood Dance, Pride, and Jazz all joining in the festivities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Quizzes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The uni puts on a number of festive quizzes in the run up to Christmas. The Chase\u2019s very own Shaun Wallace – aka the Dark Destroyer – will even be paying a visit to the Taf for a special Christmas quiz night. Now that is something that can\u2019t be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Winter Market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Winter Market will be held this year on November 27th<\/sup>\nfrom 12-4 with a number of societies coming down to the Great Hall to sell\nvarious items for charity. A bit like you usual Christmas market except the\nmoney all goes to a great cause. Expect lots of tasty treats and fun activities\nto get involved in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n GIAG Day Trips Out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A number of opportunities to take a day trip out of the city are on offer every year and include visits to various Christmas markets up and down the country. Birmingham, Bath, and Exeter are just some of the options that students have and especially for international students, this is a cheap and easy way to soak up some British Christmas tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Festive Bake-Off<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On December 2nd<\/sup> put your baking skills to the\ntest and offer up your best festive creations to the judging panel. Don\u2019t bake?\nDonate just \u00a31 and you can eat as much as everyone else\u2019s sweet treats as you\nlike.
