Dear EIS members,

2 weeks before the SOSB, we are now ready to open the subscription to the club and to trips!
Many things have changed, so please take a couple of minutes to read this email through!

1. Membership - how to join the EIS Ski Club for 2018/19

Register to the MySCC portal and request the membership to the EIS Ski Club, stating your affiliation; you will receive an automatic email with your membership ID and the details to pay the club membership fee (20€). Note: there is no need to specify start/end date for the membership, they will be set automatically by us  later on.  

Once your affiliation has been confirmed and the membership fee has been paid, your membership will become active on MySSCC portal (you shall be notified via email) - more info on the process and the membership rules can be found here. 

2. Sign-up for trips

IMPORTANT: starting from this year, the process to sign-up for trips will be completely different! 

Here are the key points:
- you can now sign up to a trip by sending an email to the TC starting from 2 weeks before the SOSB (i.e. today!) and until  12:00 on the day of the SOSB - or alternatively, you can sign up as usual on the evening of the SOSB until 21:00. 
- at 21:00, subscription to the trips will be closed. For trips where the number of people signed up exceeds the places available, there will be a ballot to assign the places on the trip - a highlight of the SOSB evening!!! ;-)
- people can sign up to a trip individually or in groups made of up to 4 people; each group counts as 1 instance in the lottery to assign the places; places on the waiting list will also be assigned with the ballot.
- after the SOSB, people have the usual 2 weeks to pay the 50 EUR non-refundable deposit and confirm their place on the trip, otherwise they lose priority.

Everything is explained in more details on the website; we encourage you to take 5 minutes to read the new rules there and come back to us in case of questions. The rules will be explained again during the night of the SOSB ;-)

Note: the Trips calendar is available on the web - prices are still TBC but will be published before the SOSB! 

3. Join the SOSB and assist to the Ballot!

Join us for the SOSB on Friday, 2nd of November, starting from 19:00 at Flambée, Darmstadt, Bessunger Str. 115. As usual, for all members there will be a free drink and warm Flammkuchen throughout the night. The ballot to assign places to the over-subscribed trips will be held by our President, Gigi, starting at 21:00. We are looking forward to seeing many of you there!

On behalf of the EIS Committee,

Emanuela
