How can UCD societies improve?

pigeonbutler

Although it won't appeal to the extremely anti-established society people in here, a new society for Quinn school students is going to be running next year. It's very imaginitively called QuinnSoc although if BOPs don't do it for you I reckon QuinnSoc definitely won't appeal.

If you want better societies, then set one up or get involved in one.

It's a lot of serious hard work running a society though and unless your a big well established society, you have a substantial risk of making a loss on any event you run so cut 'em a little bit of slack (just a little though, because societies that take your membership fees and do nothing all year are a disgrace).

Nah couldn't make it down that evening cos i had to go to a talk here in eng. Well i didnt have to go but we got free tea and coffee and biscuits if we went, so I felt it would be wrong of me not too! Plus the guy who's marking my final year project had organised it and strongly suggested I turn up! I was at cross training last year though with BJJ, twas much fun - vaugley remember doing some grappeling and stuff

And why not join Ninjutsu, its got everything you'd ever want in a club: beer, guys, weapons, ppl with a sense of humour, relaxed instructor who is very good at what he does, beer, beer, new kinds of beer, funky t-shirts, beer...the list is endless!

Well I was 'elected' to the GameSoc committee for next year, as was Kevok (the lurker). I plan to hold more consle gaming related events (I heald the last one, all those years ago (man I feel old now)). Kevok is taking charge of LAN/computer game stuff. So hopefully there will be more gaming related stuff next year.

Getting machines would be very very difficult, unless our crazy lecturer (who hates computer services) helps us out.

Console gaming events would be a runner, a PS2 Pro Evolution event would be absolutley class, and I can finally show my skills to a wider audience than destroying my mates regularly.

Bring back the Father Ted soc!

Yeh B&L (the society, cause i know a few cool people in the course) is full of people who wannabe in the OC, I think its funny the way we got these blonde haired beach boys in dublin and no waves or sun!

Yeah Tea + cake soc would be quality, hold baking seminars and stuff and tea tasting. I know a load of posible members, for instance in the last week me and mates have gone through about 240 tea bags, and thats not including recycles!
Needless to say milk is in constant rations or not present, and marylands never really quiet go round.

Anyone on for Tea soc next year? we could defo get free **** from barry's / lyon's.

rainbow kirby

There had better be coffee and other caffeinated beverages too.

Superman

hmm i was re think the idea and a hot beverages society woul be more appropriate, do you thing you could set up a soc that gets cigarette sponsorship?

blondie83

Well if DCU can have a murder she wrote soc I don't see why we can't have a Father Ted soc - excellent idea on the free cup of tea if you join btw!

rainbow kirby

Ah you gotta love Family Guy! That's a society I'd join alright.

Peter: Hi everyone we've had a lot of laughs tonight, but I'll tell you what's not funny...killing strippers. Strippers are people too. Naked people who may be willing to pleasure you for a fee you negotiate behind the curtain of a VIP room. So remember, there's no need to kill strippers. Cos most of them are already dead inside. Good night everybody!

Family Guy = win. Someone needs to set up CartoonSoc. Dedicated to all things Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, South Park... and also anime.

m1ke

animation/family guy soc was the first thing i looked for last time i went looking at socs.
.... alas it's too late for me now.... /darth vader out

I never got the popularity of all these combination socs b&l,c&e,l&h... even socs of individual subjects like phil/hist/pol.... seriously screw all that... studying them is fun, but socs should be apart from all that.

Some cool ideas up here. I'm auditor of Netsoc this coming year so if anyone has any suggestions for us I'd love to hear them. (If anyone wants to help out i want to hear even more)
