Dear Bicycle Owners of NUS College,
 
Note that all bikes have to be registered under NUSCycling via this form before you are allowed to store them in the bike store rooms within Cinnamon or West Wing. Please fill this form by 15 November 2359. Do note that under the registration form you have to provide a picture of your bicycle as one of the fields.
 
After registering you will be issued a sticker to be stuck onto your bikes to verify that they have been registered. (Still work in progress, look out for updates! For now, the sticker will not be required to store your bikes in the storeroom) 
 
Any unregistered bikes will be managed by NUSCycling to prevent abandoned bikes from cluttering up the bike storerooms.
 
Finally, don’t forget to lock your bikes as there has been a case of high-value bike theft recently and neither NUSC nor NUSCycling will be responsible for loss or damage of property!
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to @Eugenelsej on telegram!

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR STAMP???

NUSCC’s Cultural Arts Directorate (CAD) has a hole in our heart 😢 Our beloved Singlit Shelves stamp is missing! The stamp as well as the shelves were designed and painted by the 1st NUSCC CAD members. Without the stamp we’re missing a part of our history 💔💔


Do let us know ASAP if you have spotted the stamp in any lounges, chatterboxes or bushes. Any leads would be helpful and appreciated. Updates on missing or misplaced singlit books are also welcome! Just text @thinkingaboutoranges or @sinkingshipss with the news.

In the meantime, be on the lookout for new books, fresh student publications and more! These will be added to the shelves immediately after our stamp is found :)))
