So if you’re keen for a chat and a free bite to eat, we’ll see you at Parly to the People.

MONO Nights are our weekly gig nights, hosted in the Foundry every Thursday during term time.
Free for UC students (hell, it is their bar ffs) and with a minimal door charge for their mates – which goes straight into our giant profit making machine…
Jokes – it pays for some of the best local and international acts that we can afford and convince to stop off on a Thursday night. Last year’s artists can be seen  and the most up to date info on who is playing next can be found at the @MONOnights facebook page.
Bring your proof of age ID and UC Student card to skip the door fee – no card means no freebies. UC Security is open pretty much 24/7 so if you lost it, go get another one you cheapskate.

We provide the boards, snags, wetties and coaching (by the strapping lads and lasses of CUBA). All you need to do is drag your seasonably hungover, amateur-self down to the Foundry.
Rides will be organised through car pooling once numbers are finalised
There are two slots throughout the day! The first begins at 8:00am and the second slot kicks off at 12:30am. Details about transport and a link to buy tickets will be released soon.

Canterbury University Snow Sports Club - Initiation
2019-03-09 06:00 - 23:59 | Temple Basin Ski Area, Temple Basin Track, Arthur's Pass, Arthur's Pass, 7875, New Zealand
Initiation. You’ve taken the first tentative steps into the club, but now its time to see what we really do.
Perhaps you’ve heard of stories about the club; tales of unbelievable powder, superhuman like feats and parties that shake apart a mountain. This is your chance to become one of those people.
We meet at 6, organise you into cars and send you straight to the supermarket for a box; setting the tone for the weekend. We’ll be providing food, a nice warm bed and 59 other fanatics ready to tear the roof off. Case studies will be running all weekend, teaching you how to seduce the mountain manager, the ideal amount of people in a single shower (17) and a complete guide on how to treat a hangover with eggs and Kahlua.
At $25 this event is literally more cost effective than staying in Christchurch. Do the right thing.
