DCU/boards meet up?

Suaimhneach · 11-09-2004 12:34am #1

For all the first years? And some of the older years?

We could meet up, and they could show us around. Show us the bar...Or whatever. lol.

What do people think??

Most of us start on the 21st/20th? Right?

What yis be thinking?

phreak · 11-09-2004 12:39am

as long as its not during orientation week i'll probably be there.

Raz · 11-09-2004 12:46am

The 1st years have orientation week starting the 20th, the rest of us start back on the 27th.
So by the time all the older guys get there you'll be well aquainted with the place.

As regards the bar, you sign up for bar membership at registration in the library and it's marked on your student card. Before registration you have to show garda ID. It's been reasonably strict this last year.

/me hopes passport will do, as I aint got Garda Id yet.

Ok so, tis a first year only meet up during oirentaion week.

Then maybe one at the soc&clubs day. I think its th 6th or the 7th of oct. Sound resonable?

jank · 11-09-2004 1:13am

yea ill try and make it, just for you Jesjes

Suaimhneach · 11-09-2004 1:35am

Ah yer too kind.

Raz · 11-09-2004 1:36am

I guess I could try and manage it

Clubs and socs day is usually on the wednesday of the 3rd week. The first week starting the 27th.

Edit: Don't hold me to that though!!

Suaimhneach · 11-09-2004 1:41am

Afaik it's the 6th or 7th of oct. It says it in the thingy they sent out. I'll check it later and confirm for everyone.

Raz · 11-09-2004 1:44am

Probably the 6th then. Seems early. Must make myself more accepting of change!!!

CuLT · 11-09-2004 3:23am

Smellyirishman · 11-09-2004 4:04am

Suaimhneach · 11-09-2004 4:47pm

So two diffrent meet ups?

One on for first yaers between 21-23rd, and then one on the soc&clubs day for everyone?

adjodlo · 11-09-2004 6:45pm

what winters said tbh.

Winters · 11-09-2004 8:53pm

Humm ... didnt know I had done that last night.

Gotta love alcohol.

Lantis · 12-09-2004 4:59pm

I'm up for both meetups, I'm around on the 20th-22nd for orientation week.

Suaimhneach · 12-09-2004 9:11pm

Okay, cool. Is everyone legal? That way we can meet up in the pub. Or is there somewhere obvious that someone can recommened?

halenger · 12-09-2004 9:41pm

Pub's a bad idea cause you can't get in unless you're a registered student and a member.

So only those who have registered will get in. Though I guess last years membership is still valid. But still I'm sure not everyone's registering on the first day of orientation week? Or whenever they register. I don't remember anymore!

Raz · 12-09-2004 11:59pm

Before you register you can get in by showing ID. After week 2 you'll probably have to be signed in by a member of the bar (if you havn't signed up obviously) and you'll have to show ID aswell.
If you're returning for another year they'll let you in with last years student card.
Membership of the bar is shown on the student card by a red 'y' at the bottom of the front. Last year I think it cost €10 to join.

There's 2 bars, the alpha and the beta bar denoted above the doorsby their respective greek symbols. The alpha (old) bar usually will have a guy on the door but the beta (new) bar tends to be open entry as it runs a carvery aswell (which is quite good, better than the canteen). This might not be the situation in the first few weeks though as it's a prime time for the guards to be comin around checking for under age drinking.

Lantis · 13-09-2004 12:15am

Not legal, so that's me out.

DCU students cannot be signed in. If you're a DCU student you must be a member to get it.

Raz · 13-09-2004 1:24am

I've signed in DCU students before. Are you positive you're not meant to?

how are they going to know?

Winters · 13-09-2004 1:31am

They will have to look at your Student ID and look for the Y.

I have the Y.

dregin · 13-09-2004 1:33am

I think you have to be a student of some type to be signed in. That means having a Student ID of some sort.....Not many people are gonna have a fake made up of a different college. If you're gonna go to that trouble ya may aswell get a DCU one made with the "Y".

phreak · 13-09-2004 1:34am

what i mean't is how are they going to know the person you're signing in is a dcu student unless you tell them?
