Mary's mag?

Sniipe

Is it possible to get a Mary's mag? (ie the school magazine for St. Mary's College Galway?) I'd be willing to pay for it or borrow it to copy it if possible. I'm only interested in the ones between 93 - 98.

Long shot...

Some of those are online...can't remember the website but honestly had a good laugh looking at them not too long ago.

Acidflash

Was there from 91-96 and have/had a few of these. One or two might be useful to you.I'm not sure if they are still around but I'll have a look tonight and if i find them you can copy them.

I dont think that website had the Mary's mag.

gaeilgegrinds1; any idea what the website was?
Acidflash; I'd definately be interested in the ones from 93-96.

If I got them I'd post them online, besides St Mary's 100year birthday is coming up.

We have one here, just fished it out! There were some schools from Galway on it but I can't remember the website, hopefully someone will.

Sorry Sniipe, I had found the ones I posted before a few months ago and just went on a search for them and voila!!!!!!

Best school mag ever was Endapendent from St Enda's in the late 80's. Then lad behind most of the artwork died tragically last year.

Fergus Coughlan RIP
never forgotten

Acidflash, I'd like to take you up on your offer and copy the mags, I'll post them online in PDF format then.

I'll send you a PM now

Dang!! Thought this was about a hard copy of a bus timetable with Justmary as the centrefold.

Sniipe

Acidflash - did you ever come across those mags? I have rekindled my search. No one I know seems to have one.

This site has a few, but not the years I'm looking for:

I never actually managed to find them at the time unfortunately. There is someone in work at the minute who was there too around the same time, would have started in 95 I think. I'll check with him.

Sniipe

That would be great Acidflash, "IF" you manage to source one I could pick it up from you (assuming you are in Galway), scan it and then upload it for the greater public plus send it to St Mary's so they can add it to their collection. I reckon it would only take me an hour to scan the magazine so I'd have it back to you in no time.

The years I'm most keen on are: 93,94,95,96 (I believe it may not have existed for 96 and/or 97, 98)

I'm fairly sure it did exist for 96 & 97. I had neighbours that went there, I'll ask them if they have any.

Sniipe

You could be right, but I think it was done by 4th year students. And our 4th year (97) didn't bother doing it I believe. I think it could have been something to do with the previous years entry (some guy who was on the magazine committee pulled out of it and the remainder slagged him a bit too much in the issue) or the fact that our year was too lazy.

Sniipe

Ah sure AOB You were in the same year as me. Do you remember anyone in our year doing it?

If I get a copy you can take it to scan it alright.I'll know Monday either way

Acidflash

I got 93,94 and 95.

Sniipe

Cool, Acidflash, I will PM you

Sniipe

Major thanks to Acidflash for providing me with the books. I have uploaded 1994 and 1995 here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3vOq6o4LFF9d2wxRjZxamNqTjA&usp=sharing

I'll be emailing them to Saint Mary's also. 1995 was missing some pages (13-16 and 65-68) due to a printing error. Does anyone have these?
Also, does anyone have 1996?

Found a picture of a friend in these and passed them along, he was very grateful.

Sniipe

Very good. I got some pictures out of the mag for my year and posted them on facebook. The feedback was huge. It might be worth Saint Mary's college facebook to post all the pictures. I might get onto them... perhaps they don't do facebook...
