Hey everyone,

Just a quick reminder that there will be a meeting/movie Thursday at 7pm in the Lev Buckman room of the Shatner building. We will be watching episodes from the BBC series “Walking with Dinosaurs”.

See you there!

Hey y’all,

There will be a brief meeting THIS THURSDAY from 7-10 in Lev Buckam (Shatner building). Yes, we are aware that 4 floors is that night, but it doesn’t start until 10pm, so you have not reason not to come! We’re also going to watch another museum-related film. Feel free to send in any suggestions.

Due to the rain last weekend, we’ve postponed our hiking trip until next Saturday (Oct. 31). If it rains again, the backup plan is an IMAX film at the Science Centre. Please let us know if you’d like to come!

Just an advance notice: The weekend of Nov. 6-8 is going to be really busy for the club. The museum needs volunteers at the Gem & Mineral show, Open House, and the Saturday Science Circus (more info at https://home.mcgill.ca/redpath/whats_on/other/). Please think about volunteering. We could really use the help.

See you on Thursday,
Trina

Hey everyone!

We need a mummy guide for this Sunday! Anyone up for it?

Cheers,
Trina

Hi everyone,

This Wednesday (Oct. 21), a group of ~15 school kids will be coming to the museum. We need someone to give them a tour of the mummies from 11-12. Please let us know asap if you are interested.

Thanks,

Trina

Hi all,

1. Reminder for practice sessions for tour guides this week:

Dinos and minerals- Thursday @ 4pm, Friday @ 10am. (2nd floor)
Mummies- Thursday @ 10am (3rd floor)
World Cultures- Friday @ 3pm (3rd floor)

2. Hiking!

Thanks to everyone who as already responded to this, but please let us know if you’re interested in the hiking trip this weekend. We have some more details about the logistics of the trip: We’ll meet on Saturday morning around 9:30 at McGill and metro over to Longueuil station. There’s a bus from there that takes you pretty close to Mt. St. Bruno. Everyone can bring a lunch and we can walk/picnic. Then we’ll take the same bus back to the metro. The bus leaves every hour, so the timing is flexible if 9:30 isn’t a good time to leave. The club will cover the cost of transportation, although I’d definitely bring some cash, just in case. The weather should be nice, so you should come!

3. T-Shirt Design Contest

Our club t-shirts are hideous so we’re designing new ones. We’re holding a contest to choose a new logo where the winning design will win a free t-shirt (and eternal glory). Please submit your design by Nov. 15! The only rules are: 1) they say Redpath Museum Club somewhere, 2) they are somewhat museum-related, 3) they look good on a red background. Good luck!

NOW:

**Tuesday Oct 13 - Mummies, 2pm

**Thursday Oct 15 – Mummies, 10am

Thanks!
