    We wont unfortunatly, We wont have any money at all,(Fireworks are Expencive;) )

    We will be using the Summer to organise stuff for next year, The Recuitment day, and some events for the first couple of weeks. We are planing a three day event called Sproi Luimnigh for week three, basically it will be a smaller more compact version of Seachtain na Gaeilge in Semister One.

    Hey guys thanks for the shout out for windsurfing!! yeah!!

    some fantastic clubs and socs in UL, really depends so much on your likes but of course allowing for trying new things

    Us windsurfers are always happy to have new folks

    OPC and kayakers have some fantastic trips etc and we always hear great things about them (wish I had more time to experience!)

    getting to know other clubs and socs more recently, anime manga are a lovely bunch and very helpful, music and Dj soc same too! And there are some great characters between airsoft, game soc, archery, karate, ladies rugby (might not be for you!) and so many more!!

    just can't keep up with them!

    best of luck!

    Went to the debating soc tonight. Did my first piece of debate proper, i felt like Enda Kenny speaking which doesn't bode well :P. To be fair the lads were very sound and let me off with it. Some of them would put you to shame.

    I still remember feeling like an awful gimp the first time I stood up to speak and that was 4 years ago :) It's all in the practice! I could tell you stories about some of those lads that would put them to shame :)

    Ah debating.... How I do miss you already...

    I knew someone who went to college and joined clubs/socs, they said it was the best part of the experience, drinking is all well and good but it gets boring and expensive. Clubs/socs form a lot of the memories people have when leaving college.

    Same Fraher, think the clubs/socs side is more enjoyable.

    The Trampolining & Gymnastics Club is now seriously looking into it with Children from all over the place looking for Gymnastics classes.
    We also keep our Trampolines out during the summer for students who are around Limmers - if only Neasa would get back to me this year!!
