February Hike at Black Mountain

8:00 AM08:00

February Hike at Black Mountain

Join us Saturday, February 10 for a morning hike at Black Mountain via Nighthawk Trail Loop! This 4.5 mile hike, near Rancho Penasquitos, is considered a moderately challenging route. It takes approximately 2.5 hours at a leisurely pace. We will meet at Hilltop Community Park where you will find ample parking. Departure time is at 8:00am from the trailhead located near the parking lot. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash at all times. This is a popular and fun route so we are likely to encounter many other hikers and bikers. 

 

As stated earlier, the hike is considered moderate.  There are a couple steep uphills with occasional rocky terrain, making trekking poles and hiking staffs useful but certainly not necessary. This loop trail will lead us back to Hilltop Park where we will briefly enjoy some post hike refreshments. Hope to see everyone there! 

 

Date: Saturday, February 10, 2024

Time: 8:00 - 10:30 am

Meeting location: Hilltop Community Park, 9711 Oveido Way, 92129

[Ivy+_Board] The Merry Wives of Windsor, August 30th

[Ivy+_Board] The Merry Wives of Windsor, August 30th

Your cordially invited to join your fellow IvyPlus, Oxbridge and UniBrit alumni colleagues for a wonderful performance of Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor on.....


Wednesday, August 30th for The Merry Wives of Windsor with a pre-performance social gathering, commencing 7.00pm, and Talk by Victoria Martino, Harvard (back by popular demand) at 7.30, in the Craig Noel Garden on the left as you approach the theater. Heavily discounted tickets available 
HERE . The discount code (ALUMNI) should already be applied so just click on the link and proceed as directed.



Shakespeare meets “I Love Lucy” in this 1950s spin on one of the Bard’s wildest and most appealing comedies. The notorious John Falstaff, larger-than-life in every way, leaves the big city to work his charms on the suburban inhabitants of Windsor. Always hustling for his next buck, he sets his sights on two of Windsor’s ladies-who-lunch, but when they figure out Falstaff’s game, they decide to teach him a lesson he won’t forget. Shakespeare’s most vivid characters fill the stage for a theatrical rollercoaster ride that’s raucous, kooky, and entirely bewitching.

Panelists:

Dr. Ralph Keeling, Professor of Geochemistry, UCSD

Dr. Ralph Keeling is professor of geochemistry in the Geosciences Research Division of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD. His research focuses on atmospheric composition, the carbon cycle, and climate change. He is considered a leading investigator of the global oxygen cycle for his precise measurements and analysis techniques. Keeling developed his method for measuring atmospheric oxygen levels utilizing interferometry techniques in the laboratory. He began pioneering measurements of changes in atmospheric oxygen levels from air samples collected at stations around the world.  Dr. Keeling's research involves measuring changes in the Ar/N2 ratio of the atmosphere, with the goal of resolving changes caused by warming and cooling of the oceans and associated changes in the solubility of Ar and N2 in seawater.  These measurements have the potential to quantify changes in global ocean heat storage.  His research further includes developing methods to quantify greenhouse gas emissions using atmospheric measurements.  Born in La Jolla., Dr. Keeling received a B.S. in Physics from Yale, and a PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard.  He is the author of more than 65 scientific research papers.

Macbeth Hosted by Oxford and Cambridge Society of SD

Macbeth Hosted by Oxford and Cambridge Society of SD

You are cordially invited to a Macbeth reading hosted by the Oxford and Cambridge Society of San Diego! While we're not able to attend a live performance of Shakespeare at the Old Globe, we thought that this would be an ideal time to organize an online reading of one of the Bard's plays. After considering such factors as length, familiarity, complexity of the plot, number of parts, etc. we've decided to read one of his most famous tragedies, Macbeth.

Wednesday, July 22nd, registration must close, to give ourselves time to get everything set up. So please register asap for a chance to read either a main part or an assembly of minor parts, or simply to be in the audience.

Friday, July 24th at 7.00pm all reading registrants will be invited to a Zoom meeting when we'll draw names out of a hat to assign roles, and to hold a short coaching session.

About the Reading - There are a total of 37 speaking parts in Macbeth, 8 of which can be considered main characters. The title role has by far the most lines, 715, compared to the second-most, Lady Macbeth with 259, so we've decided to split the Macbeth role into 3 readers, Acts 1 & 3, Acts 2 & 4 and Act 5. The other main roles will be Malcolm (211), Macduff (180), Ross (135), Banquo (113), Lennox (70) and King Duncan (70). The other 29 roles will be split into 10 assemblies of roles, e.g. First Witch/First Murderer/Third Apparition/Young Seward will have 97 lines spread between Acts 1, 2, 3 & 5.

At the Zoom role assigning meeting, if you don't like the role you're given we'll put your name back in the hat and pull out the next name, etc. until we've filled all of the parts. Parts will be "gender blind" to give more alums an opportunity to read and if you don't get assigned a role we'll ensure that you're first in line for the next reading.

We're hoping that readers will be able to find appropriate headgear for their character(s) and that we'll be able to provide "scenery" for readers to display behind their Zoom images, depending upon the scene we're up to.

If you would prefer just to watch the "performance" rather than read, please register for a Viewing Ticket.

We do hope that you will support this new endeavor for our Societies.

As You Like It @ The Old Globe

“All the world’s a stage, 
And all the men and women merely players.”
 

The 2019 Shakespeare Festival kicks off with the Bard’s fabulously charming romantic comedy, whose heroine is one of his most remarkable creations. The magical forest of Arden is the play’s famous setting, where a gallery of eccentric characters comes together to find love, fortune, redemption... and themselves. Banished from the court by her deceitful and treacherous uncle, Rosalind disguises herself as a boy, not knowing that the man she loves, also on the run, is behind the next tree.  Bucolic Balboa Park is the ideal spot for Shakespeare’s enticing tale of mistaken identity, heartfelt romance, and the endearing fumbles and foibles of love.

Heavily discounted tickets (35% off and the online booking fee is waived) are available HERE, using the Discount Code OXBRIDGE.  Socializing will commence at 6:45 p.m. in the Craig Noel Garden in front of the theater, followed by the Pre-Show Talk at 7:15 and the performance at 8:00 p.m. 

PLEASE NOTE: 
The cost of the Pre-Show Social and Talk is no longer included in the ticket price, so if you would like to help cover the costs you can make a donation to our Old Globe Pre-Show Social & Talk Fund by contacting Oxford & Cambridge Society of San Diego’s Treasurer here.
