    Fresher's Week had a big tent where all the socs got you to join. So you're saying they're doing that again tomorrow? Bastards tell us nothing :(

    /EDIT - Just checked the SU website, absolutely nothing on it. Was it publicised much in Belfield?

    I think it's in the Asrta Hall of the Student Centre, not a tent, this time.

    There's some info on it in an email we all got from the college:
    Just a reminder too of the Refreshers Day on Monday next, 23
    January, in the Student Centre from 12.00 p.m. onwards. There will be
    entertainment in the Atrium, Clubs and Societies stands in the Astra
    Hall and FM 104 will be present. In the evening, there will be events
    in the Centre Club. It is a very good opportunity to get involved in
    new activities and to meet new people.

    Something to occupy ourselves with I guess.

    *Mental note* - check UCD email more often

    That's a good idea though, people who wished they had joined something before now get a second chance. Good for people who are only here for 1 semester too. Might trek out to it for a change of scenery!

    You mean a party with its roots in facist blueshirt movement, who asisted the overthrow of a democratically elected government in spain back in the 1930s whos party leader refers to people of colour using the 'n' word.

    I joined the KBC about 3 years ago to get into a free hot whiskey/tuborg session. Paid my 2 euro and got 4 cans for my trouble. They've sent me stuff till this day, I get newspapers, fundraising letters!! They shouldn't bother wasting their money!

    It's not their money. They get grants.
    Ans when the only bad thing people can say about FG is something that happened 70 odd years ago, I don't get too worried.

    It was publicised so well that they didn't even officially tell the societies - not any of the small ones I've been talking to anyway!

    Come to the ELS stand and maybe you'll get some lollies, if you're nice to me. I'm Úna, by the way...

    Yep, he's also known as Tommy for some reason.

    I don't get the appeal of all this youth politics stuff. Is it like following a football team or something? What is it that one does once a member?
