Pembroke Junior Parlour

Hi all, short one this week. Don't forget that the newsletter is sent on
SUNDAY, so sending an entry on Monday for an event on Friday is just silly.

*Info*

The Pembroke Poetry Society (PemSoc) will have its first meeting of the
year on Monday 22nd October at 20.00 in J4. Anyone in the college is
welcome to attend. The Society runs like this: people submit poems
anonymously to Peter Auger's pigeon hole by 12.00 on Monday, and then in
the evening a group of poets and non-poets meet to discuss items
submitted. It's a great chance for arts-orientated discussion, and a
unique opportunity for poets to receive objective feedback. For more
information contact paa31@cam.ac.uk .

Volunteers Wanted for Paralympic Sailing Campaign

I am a disabled sailor hoping to compete in the 2012 Paralympics. The
RYA is paying for me to receive training on a regular basis, but I
cannot attend without the help of volunteers. If you fancy an all
expenses paid trip to Rutland Water this weekend, or want to find out
more, email ldlb2 or visit http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~ldlb2/lukesails/ -
no sailing experience needed, just enthusiasm.

*Events*

The Parthenon Group- Strategy Consulting Workshop

Profits are increasing but the business is in trouble. The market is
changing on a monthly basis, some companies skyrocketing, others
sinking. Is the business model sustainable? How will the competitive
landscape change? What should the CEO do next? Before you answer,
remember that your fees (and bonus) are based on next year's profits.

We aim in this interactive workshop to challenge you to think through
the strategic questions that we receive from CEOs world-wide on a weekly
basis. What are the key questions to ask, how are they answered?

Audience: Those interested in learning more about a career in strategy
consulting
Location: Ramsden Room, St Catherine's College
Time: Friday 19th October (Week 3), 7-9pm

Application: Please send a short CV to cambridgeworkshop@parthenon.co.uk

Other chances to meet in Cambridge:
If you are unable to attend or wish to learn more about Parthenon,
please come and talk to us at the Consultancy Event or at our
presentation, 7pm, Friday 12th October, The Saltmarsh Room, Kings
College. www.parthenon.com
