Dear Member,
Summer comes to Oxford once again . The promise of longafternoons ofpunting and croquet is threatened only by theimminence of examinations and the expectance ofcloudbreak. ...
We hope that the summer spirit lends itself to this term'sprogramme of events, which features music and dance recit-als and a much awaited Majlis day-trip toCambridge. Cultural talks include a journey intoBhutan,with slides,and a look at today's cricket world.
Across the broad horizons encompassed by the Majlis,the sum-mer months may also witness significant developments incurrent affairs both in the South Asia region and in the UKMeetings try to focus on a number of topical issues ~hichpose questions of considerable importance.
;,
On behalf of the Majlis we extend our gratitude to Habib BankLimited for the very generous sponsorship to thesociety.Habib Bank's assistance will certainly strengthenthe impact of the Majlis in Oxford.
We do hope that the events stimulate your interest and warmlyinvite your continuing participation.We wish you a mostsuccessful and enjoyable Trinity Term.
