please bring a mug /plêz-bring-â-mugg/ n. 1. a request, stating the need to bring a drinking utensil. 2. implicit invitation to tea, that cannot be forced but results in a change of views on the literature of aa milne, and an altogether better life. [ LL plesusbringuamugum: lit. the pleasure in the company of like minded individuals]
Most of us have a mixture of ideas about life, the universe and everything. But Pembroke life is busy at the best of times, and we rarely get an opportunity to stand back and place it all together. Pooh has often been rejected as an irrelevance as far as 90s life is concerned. Yet, the AA Milne lovers' experience is that Pooh continues to encounter people today and bring a radically new perspective to everything.
PBAM is an opportunity to take a considered and mature look at Poohsoc, its Lady Foundress, and its exciting activities. There will be time to appreciate both the works of AA Milne, and to participate in events socially.
There will also be the chance later on in the term to meet and discuss the relevance of it all in Poohsoc meetings which happen every Saturday at 4 during full term.
So why not join us in taking a look at what could be the biggest encounter of all. It would be great to see you there.
