Do elaborate... what sort of stuff do ye do? I considered meandering over to the stand last year but my experiences with TCD's "philosophy" society were too fresh in my mind

Well we're nothing like the Trinity Phil, which as far as I understand is more like the L&H.
We show films that kick off philosophical debates, e.g. The Matrix followed by a discussion about scepticism, Blade Runner followed by discussion about the Mind/body problem (for people who don't know what that is the problem can be summarised as "so are they the same thing or what?").
The films are a great way for people who are new to philosophy to get into it because it gives them something concrete to draw examples from and such.
We bring in visiting guests to speak on some area of philosophy. In the past we've had John Royston Saul, Noam Chomskey and the hilarious Glyn Hughes of Squashed Philosophers attempting to cover 50 philosophers in 50 minutes.
Funds permitting we try to follow talks with a drinks reception.
We also have a weekly coffee morning for all your caffeine needs. We also usually put on a freshers week party, Christmas party and we run the final year philosophy class party.
Other than that we're completely open to organising pretty much anything members want us to (so long as it has some vague philosophical relevance) We've put on plays in association with DramSoc, debated with PsychSoc, when I was in first year we set up reading group to discuss texts on the course in a less pressured environment than lectures or tutorials, in May out auditor arm wrestled SU president Dan Hayden for charity.0 -

Surprised TEL hasn't stuck his head in to do this yet, so I might as well.
Join Gamesoc, we are not just a bunch of DnD nerds who never go outside. Really. Seriously, I have photos that can verify this. We organise such events as Halo tourneys, board games nights, LANs, pretty much everything that can have the word 'game' attached to it.
In freshers week we're planning on running things like an outdoor werewolves game, (Werewolves is an extremely fun group game where you are the members of a village infested by werewolves, and you must randomly lynch peple till you root out the evil! [Try it, you won't regret it]) Signups for Assassins (Our most popular event last year, where you track down interesting people and kill them) and many others.
We're also planning a full-out Halo league to run during the year, and a Pro Evo tourney. All this in addition to our traditional RPGs, CCGs and wargames. Should be a great year, why not come along for the ride!

The UCD Karate Club was formed in 1977 and has since then enjoyed success as one of the college’s largest and most popular clubs. We have we won the coveted Club of the Year award an unprecedented four times and are currently the reigning Intervarsity Champions.
We rarely miss an opportunity to have some fun. Every year the committee has a tightly-packed schedule of sporting and non-sporting events on the agenda, which include training courses, competitions, outings, weekends away and many other events, which are publicised on our website and on notice boards. All members, particularly beginners, are encouraged to come to our many events. You are also welcome to come up to the Sports Bar for a drink with us after training.
Class craic lads
and you learn a great skill at the same time.
