punk/rock/metal apprication society anyone?

Panthro

well iv taken the plunge into figuring out how exactly one goes about setting up a new society today!
im hoping to form a punk/rock/metal music apprication society for the I.T., hopefully members can meet similar minded music folk, trade some tunes, build up amazing cd collections and use it as a forum for spreading the word on upcoming gigs etc.
any thoughts on the idea anyone?
hopefully it takes off!:)

I'll be heading to Dundalk in September to do a new course so if this society is still going then yeah I'll join.

If you want some new metal to listen to then come to me. I shall point you in the way of darkness!!!

Panthro

excellent stuff! all things considered it may be the wrong time of year for it, but no harm it getting some foundations laid for next year.if i can get some more people involved, then hopefully generate more interest and u can show more people the dark side!:D

Id prob join this, still going? Is Dundalk good for metal gigs?

Panthro

i have been talking to another lad interested in setting up some sort of a society. our plan is to meet the clubs and societies officer soon, try and get some interest drummed up and hopefully set up a stall at the clubs and societies day.
at the mo we are trashing out some ideas for things to do as a society etc so open forum here if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions etc the proposed society could do.

so far we are thinking:
social group gathering
exchange music/dvds etc
organise buses to gigs maybe
maybe organise for a few bands to play

Any news regarding your society?

Panthro

i met up with one other lad who is interested in setting up something, but to be honest, i think the workload is going to be a bit heavier this year so i wouldnt have as much free time to be able to go organising diff things. the other lad is in 3rd year and has a thesis to be working on aswell so i honestly dont know at this moment in time if we will go ahead with setting up something.we missed the boat there for the clubs and societies day aswell as we are both lazy!

You should just organise something in the bar and load the jukebox with metal.
Satyricon for me. Still can't believe they've got them on there.
