Shag Week / Rag Week / DCU Mini Brother

25-01-2006 6:31pm#1Hi Everyone,
Just a lovely all students mail to help you with that exam/assignement
procrastination! Sorry it's a bit of a long one but you'll be glad to
know that it is because we have so many CRACKING events lined up for you
in Semester Two!
And if you'd like to get paid to enjoy them as part of our RAGCREW then
just mail our _Excellent_ Events Manager, Shea McNelis at
shea.mcneli@dcu.ie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first week back is SHAGWEEK
Standing for Sexual Health Awareness
and Guidance. Deirdre Moran, your _Wonderful_ Welfare Officer has lots
of events in store for you, including the annual LEGENDARY SHAG Quiz,
Speed Dating, Condom Demonstration (not just for beginners
), Anne
Summers Party, Utopia Party and more.
As well as being a great laugh, the week is about giving you all the
information you need to ensure a healthy sex life.
SHAG Packs will be available all week and will include condoms,
lubricant, lollipops and informaion leaflets basically all you need for
the dirty deed... EXCEPT a partner! There will also be talks during the
week on STI's; explaining what they are, the dangers, how to get checked
etc. More details will be available on life.dcu.ie and in An Tarbh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your second week of term is RAGWEEK and this years promises to be the
best RAGWEEK DCU has ever seen! Some of the acts confirmed are Rodrigo
y Gabriela, The Chalets, The Radio, The Immediate, Aslan, The Rags, The
Camembert Quartet AND MORE...
This year there will be no less than THREE RAG BALLS with bar-extensions
during the week and the entrance fee into each of them is €10. Every
night will be something different.
Monday is our Dance/DJ night (still waiting for confirmation of the
headline, our originally confirmed act, Mylo, has some disgusting ear
infection and has cancelled all of his bloody gigs for 2006), Wednesday
is Indie Night and Thursday is Irish Rock. If the three of these nights
all rock yer socks then you can avail of "The Three-Balled Ticket"
costing JUST €25. This gives entrance into the three balls...obviously
enough
The Tuesday of RAGWEEK is Valentines Day and for all you lovely DCU
couples out there, we have Rodrigo y Gabriela playing in the Venue, with
tickets at €12.50. For everyone else there is €3 drinks in the bar and
there's also the infamous RAGTRIP...not bad alternatives!
AS WELL as all that, there are bands and DJ's playing all day every day
in the Old Bar...what more would you expect?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOWEVER, the drinking/socialising/partying is just one side of RAGWEEK,
the other side is ::FUNDRAISING:: Very few of you may know that RAG
actually stands for _Raise A Grand_!
This years chosen charity is the DCU Annual Fund. This fund supports
students from socio disadvantaged areas with scholarships, through the
Access Programme, helping students afford university. In some areas,
less than 2% of young people progress to higher education...We want
RAGWEEK to help students get to DCU in the first place, and then help
them enjoy it when they get here!
:: FINALLY...(well done if you got this far!)
Our biggest fundraising event is our... DUM DEE DUM DUM...
* * * M I N I B R O T H E R * * *
"What is it?!" we hear you cry!
WELL!
Mini Brother is DCU's very own REAL reality show. Four students will
live in a Mini-Cooper parked outside SPAR for four days. Life inside the
Mini will be broadcast LIVE inside the Old Bar for your viewing pleasure
over a few pints.
The prize for the winning Mini-Mate will be a FABULOUS holiday from
GoForLess and Mini-Mate auditions will be held in Week 1...watch this space!
WHO GOES? YOU DECIDE!
Mini-Mates will be voted out by text message, details of which will be
posted up closer to the time. Mini-Mates will have to perform tasks over
the four days in the Old Bar(embarrassing ideas welcome...muahahahhaa!)
If you want to see the Mini-Mates making EEJITS outa themselves, then
get fundraising... The Old Bar will be the main collection area for
charity donations. The hope is that we will have a minimum of €1000
raised everyday before the Mini-Mate tasks begin...
We want all students to get involved in fundraising, whether you
organise a sponsored drinking/scoring competition with your mates or
whatever...! We don't care, we just want the money!!! If you want to see
the Mini-Mates in their tasks then you know what to do... just get out
there and raise a few europes for a good cause!
That's all folks!
See you in semester two,
Sarah

Eh, what a feckin' line up tbh. I mean, no one can say that there isn't enough for us to choose from!! Personally, I love the Lil Brother Idea! Think it'll be hilarious, and with great prizes going for it! Imagine sitting in the bar all day just watching them! lol. And torturing them at night!
I'd love to have a good idea to raise money... Love to get involved some how. I really think, fair play, hats off. What a great two weeks to come back to.
It really is a shame so many students dont read their mail...0

This must be a new thing and to be honest they pass through daily. All it takes is one or two to see them. 0 -
