Fresher's week!!!

Jonny Arson

From my perspective it's a load of overrated BS but hopefully it willl be better than the non-event of last year.

So what clubs/societies is everyone planning on joining?

Any good clubs/societies that you would recommend joining from previous experience? (umm I wonder what Rainbow Kirby and Blondie83 will be promoting? :rolleyes: )

What day is the Iron Stomoch on? Gotta see that!

Any other tomfoolery happening that I don't know about?

Will you drink yourself to oblivion this week?


Get posting!

Mr.Nice Guy

Gonna maybe join the Pool/Snooker club and whatever society offers me free stuff.

Pool/snooker - It's the only thing I'm half-decent at.

Ultimate Frisbee - Sounds cool enough.

And i might have a go at tennis.

From the little I know about you, I recommend you join everything.

Al-kee-hall is bad.

Best one to join will be world aid society cos you're doing something good for the world and its a nice friendly society.gonna join labour youth to as there events usually are a bit of craic.maybe we should set up a boards soc and instead of free donoughts we could give out a free mouse mat to everyone?

Bottle_of_Smoke

If you do join any don't do anything stupid like becoming a commitee member, you'll still have to put up those event posters when it gets freezing cold

Dave!

This is my revised list of societies and clubs that I plan to join...

Societies:
Games soc (oooh yeah! )
An Cumann Gaelach (wanna get meself fluent!)
Photographic Soc (I like pictures and I can't take good ones )
Pokersoc (I always have fun playing, but I can never remember how to, lol)

Clubs:
Archery (seems pretty cool)
Boxing (I love watching boxing and fighting, so I thought I'd give it a shot)
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (I did this for a few months, might as well get back into it)
Fencing (pretty old sport, it'd be cool to take it up)
Mountaineering (this seems like the best club to see nature, etc. and I like climbing)
Olympic Handball (played this in primary school, lol -- good fun)
Rifle (I'm kinda into guns, so should be cool -- plus, I wanna try paintball)
Table Tennis (watched a bit of this in the Olympics and it looks great)
Volleyball (played this in PE a few times, enjoyed it; is it mostly girls in it though?)
Snowsports (I'd love to try skiing/snowboarding)


Anyone got comments on these?

That's a great idea!

Slippers

I'll be joining
juggling society
ninjutsu club
shaolin club

I also want to try the yoga in hall C if my timetable allows and audition for the fashion show.

edit: I can't seem to figure out how to indent.

Slash/ED

Will be joining gamesoc anyway, There better be a PES4 event, I would take on the entire campus on that. Retronight also sounds excellent, I still play the old Snes games all the time. I'll join a superleague team too, maybe.

Dave!

PES4 fan eh? Well I'm afraid you have met your match!

Slash/ED

Many a person has said that to me, none are around to tell the story (that's because their not registered, not because I killed them or anything)

Anyway, a PES tournament is always a good idea. I'd say you'd get loads of people up for that.

tribulus

don't worry slash/ed is all talk and no walk

i recently mopped the floor with him at a certain retro game he claims to be the king at

i'll probably join gamesoc and maybe chemsoc. tbh last year being a silly liitle fresher i just joined what offered the best deals in the tent, condoms, pizza and chocolate won out!! This year i'll be more careful

gotta agree with panda here, i know a couple of the people who started the society and others still involved. i believe that this years "theme", to call it that, is child exploitation. you know ur really nice Gap jeans that were made by some kid whipped and forced to work 16hour days and paid 5cent a month so you can look flashy and everyone can see your builders cleavage... with the exception of panda100 that would be a bad thing...

anyway, i recommend philsoc, gamesoc, tae kwon do, frisbee, juggling, world aid soc, pokersoc, uh..... dramsoc i guess if u have thick skin and the confidance to keep going to auditions then you'll succeed.

obviously i dont suggest joining em all. that'd be over twenty quid which'd be better spent at the boards beers.

I was the king, but haven't played in years. I'm now the king of PES4

I smell a challenge already.


Anyways, my best game would probably be Tiger Woods, so hopefully we get to play that.

pretty*monster

I'll be joining
Phil Soc - Obviously I have to, being a committee member, we've got a full caledner of speakers(including Noom Chomsky!!!), coffee mornings, films, and night club events planned out. Should be a great year provided I find someone else to get stuck doing postering

Comedy Soc - I know the auditor, lovely guy, wasn't really listening when he told be what was on the agenda for this year but I remember it sounded good

Henry Newman Soc - A bunch of us went to their last talk last year, drank all their booze and made a bit of a mess. They were nice guys, I feel like I owe them.
Dram Soc - I had good intenetions to get involved last year, I have them again this year... we'll see what happens

Mr.Nice Guy

What's with Pokersoc? Is this a new one?

I'm surprised the college allows that. Still, I think I might join unless you have to bet an awful alot.

beanyb

Just to warn ya DaveMcG, some of the sports clubs are a tenner to join, so all them could set you back a lot...

I'm thinking of joining the world aid soc and getting involved alright, it seems like a worthy thing to join, and a nice friendly little society!

Waltons

I'm thinking of GameSoc, Sci-fi Soc, NetSoc, JazzSoc (and any other music societies I can find), and Comp Sci Soc. Not really into many of the clubs. May have a look at the rifle club

Dave!

:eek:

I might just stick to the €2 ones then, lol...

We'll see Thanks for the heads up!

rainbow kirby

Erm... apart from the blatantly obvious (TKD and GameSoc)... I'll be joining Netsoc, Sci-Fi, Mathsoc, and pretty much anything else where I know people who are involved.
*NERD*

Jonny Arson

I might be a big ol' nerd myself and join NetSoc. Might check out PhotoSoc, World Aid Soc, Archaeology Soc, PatSoc and Labour Youth. Don't have a clue about clubs though.

kas

Well, Kirby's been pimpin' TKD so hard it hurts these past few months so I'm gonna join just so I can legitimately kick her ass.

Other than that I'll be joining the

Rifle club, perfect concentration is a rarity for me these days, there it's a necessity or you may as well not pull the trigger.
Trampoline club, it just looked like so much fun everytime I saw them last year.
Photosoc, because maybe this year it might be good, maybe.
Philsoc/L+H, 'cos this year they (forget which) have Noam Chomsky - OMFG, the man's a legend.
Netsoc, 2GB web hosting for a fiver a year, sweet holy mother.

...and some club that will teach me horse riding. Failing that I'll do it privately elsewhere.

ah, funk it - i'll just join everything like I did last year and decide later. Here I come LawSoc, B+L, C+E,

ghostchant

Well I'm joining mathsoc, newman society, sci-fi soc (are we going to EirtaKon? ), gamesoc, maybe philsoc, and maybe musicsoc if its better than last year
oh yeah and also L&H , lawsoc and C&E - the free food will do as a cheap lunch

rainbow kirby

We'll see.

Oh, and I forgot to mention SciFi soc, their trillions of film evenings are cool and have introduced me to the wonders of Invader Zim and utter crapness of Battle Royale II (Japanese).

rainbow kirby

Battle Royale 2 is possibly the most disappointing film ever. The original ROCKS!!!

Waltons

I did see they had a Kevin Smith week and they showed Evil Dead!
"This is my boomstick!"

elbee

Netsoc is only 3 euro this year. You still get 2 gigs

Jonny Arson

NetSoc sounds tempting but I'd say it's full of nerds tho' (moi nerd...... c'mon! :rolleyes: )

PatSoc is going down a storm this year!
