Not sure, they always check mine  But they definitely do after 7pm.

I very rarely get my ID checked, and I'm only 18. But then, I think it depends who I'm with. Kind of lucky too, because apparently I don't look like my ID anymore.

Yeah, I haven't been ID'd in the carlton area since first year (which ironically was when I was underage)

Provided you get a group that are the 'drinking type' and over 18. Otherwise you'll have everyone ordering Coke

They shall do no such thing! Also, corruption is the entire purpose of being a host.

As for ID...Pugg's do after about 8pm and the Queensberry occasionally do when you order at the bar (never when you enter, though). A guy I know used a fake ID at Pugg's for ages, then went there on his birthday with his new real ID and they were like "It's your birthday, eh? You've been coming here for weeks. You can either leave now, or I can turn your over to those police on the corner."

Hilarious.

[tram]

when do you find out who you're hosting rustic?/who is hosting us first years?

[rustic_metal]

I think I get an email about it at some point. I didn't really pay much attention when they were explaining everything.

[Russ]

It's usually people from your faculty and we find out...mid this week?

Which reminds me, I have training tomorrow :S

[Gloamglozer]

From memory, there is a website which you can login to see who's your host.  Also, your host will contact you to confirm your attendance.

EDIT:

How will I meet my Host during Orientation?
Your host will contact you by phone or email before Orientation and tell you where to meet your group. You will also be able to log in and view your host group details from 12 February on the host database. If for some reason you are not allocated to a host group, or cannot find your group, go to South Lawn at 9.15am on 22 February and we'll find you a group. See more info about the Host Program.

Found the evidence.

Do you guys know how creepy it would be if like, one of you called me about orientation and I didn't know it was really you?  dsifjisdfjiosjdf

[kyzoo]

I'll try to come =D

[Edmund]

We will be meeting at 2pm. I don't think the orientation host program will go till 2pm (it starts at 10am), so there should be time to eat/rest beforehand. Don't worry if you will be late, just come find us at System Gardens or the MUMS room (ground floor Richard Berry building H20)

If anyone wants to come early and wait for people, let me know. I don't think I'll be there on time as I'm doing enrollments at EPSC and may hold me up

[rustic_metal]

Why would you time this to coincide with Sherry Party?
