XMAS Day

joulter

Anyone know when its on and what the plan is for it? hopefully i wont get stuck with exams on that day like last year

Its been cancelled. The college is having nothing to do with it this year because of how bad things got last year and it gives the college a bad name. They read out some of the letters from residents and the stuff people did was seriously stupid and it definetly is very lucky that no one got seriously injured. They also said that the president of the college siad he didn't want it either and that if it went ahead he wouldn't let the SU have any more on campus events ie freshers week and RAG week. Also it would be likely that the residents would object to the bar being opened on campus too.

I'm sure other pubs and stuff are going to be touting their own christmas day specials, but thats cuz they couldn't careless about people. they just want yur money!

the SU said in the Student Council meeting there last week that it was so unless they've changed their mind in the last week...

there is absolutely no way for them to control or tone down how much people drink.

yeah exactly. In the meeting they said that the college wasn't going to official endorse one and was going to tell the radio stations and stuff about it and send out a press release. cuz they know they people r going to go out and have a drinking day anyway

really?? my apologies. i wasn't at the most recent meeting and didn't expect them to do a u-turn. what was said??

basically they said that the college was getting a bad name in the community of going mad and wrecking the place on xmas day. the president of the college also told the SU that it wouldn't allow them to have anymore on campus events if it did go ahead i.e. no events for freshers and RAG week.

it was kinda stupid how they were going to tell the rest of the college. they had these posters that said why it should be cancelled, but in the meeting they were saying it def would be. So they were going to be confusing people.

hey all, i know a lot of bad things probably happened last year but bad things happen on other nights aswell , but to be fair the SU didn't do anything to prevent it , there should have stewards around the area or something
CIT sucks when it comes to social events , rag week and freshers week are poor , the one thing we have is CIT Christmas , personally I'm disgusted with this , im delighted its my last year in CIT because in 4 years ive been there its gotten worse each year (not speaking academically)

so true. i was in ITTralee last year and the night life and social scene was so so so much better. The students union organized the events, instead of just telling us about them, and there were dacent. lol. and banning christmas? thats a joke. CIT Xmas is famous as one of the best college events in the country..... ****s to this.

YAY!! Wednesday 26th is def the unofficial Xmas day. Which hopefully means it will be as good a laugh as any other year. I'll be there by lunch time anyway to guarantee a place.
