    do ul have good gaa football teams and do they have a kayaking club

    I'm definitely biased, but yes the kayaking club is very good. Definitely the best university kayaking club in Ireland. We are very very lucky with all of the resources available to us.

    What: All Ireland Men's Rugby Quarter Final vs DIT

    Mens Rugby club senior team has made it to the Knock out stages of the All Ireland Championship. Kicking off at 2pm on the North Campus pitches (the ones beside Cappavilla). Its happening during Charity week so come down, have a drink or two (of lucozade of course) and support the lads. It would mean a lot to the club

    It was cool. Showed loads of early alpha footage of Doom and talked through the whole process.

    Though the highlight of the two days so far was the paper prototyping workshop which was moved to this morning. Seriously, nearly learned more in that 90 minutes about the process of making a game than in my whole 5 years here. :pac:

    Hey! I hope this is the right forum to post this on. A few of us are looking into setting up a circus society (unicycling, hula hooping, aerial, juggling, staff, acro yoga, poi, contact, etc.).

    At the moment we're trying to see how much interest is there. If anyone is interested in getting involved in setting it up or would be interested in joining the society after it is set up please join this page:

    Thank you!
