DCU/boards meet up?

Suaimhneach

For all the first years? And some of the older years?

We could meet up, and they could show us around. Show us the bar...Or whatever. lol.

What do people think??

Most of us start on the 21st/20th? Right?

What yis be thinking?

phreak

as long as its not during orientation week i'll probably be there.

Raz

The 1st years have orientation week starting the 20th, the rest of us start back on the 27th.
So by the time all the older guys get there you'll be well aquainted with the place.

As regards the bar, you sign up for bar membership at registration in the library and it's marked on your student card. Before registration you have to show garda ID. It's been reasonably strict this last year.

Suaimhneach

/me hopes passport will do, as I aint got Garda Id yet.

Ok so, tis a first year only meet up during oirentaion week.

Then maybe one at the soc&clubs day. I think its th 6th or the 7th of oct. Sound resonable?

jank

yea ill try and make it, just for you Jesjes

Suaimhneach

Ah yer too kind.

Raz

I guess I could try and manage it
Clubs and socs day is usually on the wednesday of the 3rd week. The first week starting the 27th.

Edit: Don't hold me to that though!!

Suaimhneach

Afaik it's the 6th or 7th of oct. It says it in the thingy they sent out. I'll check it later and confirm for everyone.

Raz

Probably the 6th then. Seems early. Must make myself more accepting of change!!!

CuLT

I'll be there 21st.

Smellyirishman

21st-23rd then starting proper 27th

{EDIT} the poor smelly man aint 18 till january!

Lay off the white spirts winters

Suaimhneach

So two diffrent meet ups?

One on for first yaers between 21-23rd, and then one on the soc&clubs day for everyone?

adjodlo

what winters said tbh.

Winters

Humm ... didnt know I had done that last night.

Gotta love alcohol.

Lantis

I'm up for both meetups, I'm around on the 20th-22nd for orientation week.

Suaimhneach

Okay, cool. Is everyone legal? That way we can meet up in the pub. Or is there somewhere obvious that someone can recommened?

halenger

Pub's a bad idea cause you can't get in unless you're a registered student and a member.

So only those who have registered will get in. Though I guess last years membership is still valid. But still I'm sure not everyone's registering on the first day of orientation week? Or whenever they register. I don't remember anymore!

Raz

Before you register you can get in by showing ID. After week 2 you'll probably have to be signed in by a member of the bar (if you havn't signed up obviously) and you'll have to show ID aswell.
If you're returning for another year they'll let you in with last years student card.
Membership of the bar is shown on the student card by a red 'y' at the bottom of the front. Last year I think it cost €10 to join.

There's 2 bars, the alpha and the beta bar denoted above the doorsby their respective greek symbols. The alpha (old) bar usually will have a guy on the door but the beta (new) bar tends to be open entry as it runs a carvery aswell (which is quite good, better than the canteen). This might not be the situation in the first few weeks though as it's a prime time for the guards to be comin around checking for under age drinking.

Lantis

Not legal, so that's me out.

DCU students cannot be signed in. If you're a DCU student you must be a member to get it.

Raz

I've signed in DCU students before. Are you positive you're not meant to?

how are they going to know?

Winters

They will have to look at your Student ID and look for the Y.

I have the Y.

dregin

I think you have to be a student of some type to be signed in. That means having a Student ID of some sort.....Not many people are gonna have a fake made up of a different college. If you're gonna go to that trouble ya may aswell get a DCU one made with the "Y".

phreak

what i mean't is how are they going to know the person you're signing in is a dcu student unless you tell them?

we should throw a wee get together in vg79... dunno who's there, but im sure they wont disagree.

Suaimhneach

Ah we'll arrange it for outside of a pub, don't wanna be excluding people.

decob

dcu students aren't supposed to be signed in. just go across the road to the slipper. They prolly will let u in if you have id (read: passport, drivers license or garda id), again that depends on how intelligent the door staff are.

Dont be at yourself

I support the Slipper idea. Bouncers are normally fairly sound, and as the majority of us will have ID, they'll hopefully let the rest in! I've never even been checked myself, usually they just wave you in.

I won't be around for orientation week (getting orientated with Maynooth instead!) but anytime after that is fine.

decob

if your about town on thursday 23rd, check out the sugar club on leeson street, ex-dcu band, Kid Icarus are playing... doors 8pm, €10 in..

haha I dont think so.
I've garda id and got stopped getting into a pub in Dublin. They said it was over 20s aswell and lucky enough my friend's friend knew the bouncer and got me in.

neGev

He's talking about a specific pub across the road from DCU Patrick, not pubs in general.

Suaimhneach

Like it even matters people!!

We can meet up somewhere else if we's gotta. And we do. SO, some genius suggest somewhere obvious for us lost first years, and then we can worry bout clubs and socs day later. Please.

dregin

The empty fountain between spar and the CA building...in the middle of the grass loike. Well obivous. Make a sign for heads to wear on back also.

Suaimhneach

/me makes signs.

Sounds like a plan. Do first years think they can manage getting there? Does Wednesday suit people? I think that's the one day EVERYONE is in.

-oRnein9-

Nah! can't make wednesday, I have me debs of tuesday night and I'll be lucky to make thursday.

Suaimhneach

I have my debs on thursday. Lol, hmm. Maybe we should just leave it for ONE meet up at clubs and socs day then?

Lantis

Everyone's in on Tuesday, why not then?

neGev

Tuesday's as good as any I think

But nerd-off sounds obscene.

We sometimes are.

Judging by some of phreak and sionnach's carry-on during last year, that comment is more than true.

Sickening.
