Hi guys,

I'm starting up a Cumann Gaelach this year in the college, as it's been lacking over the past few years. Anybody who wishes to get involved, drop me a line. It doesn't matter if you're fluent in Irish or only have a few words.

And no Sully, it's non-political

Le meas,
Seán

Thanks!

Its simple enough. You fill out a small application (part of it is an area if you require a grant), hand it in and you pass/fail. There is very little to setting it up. You can use the Clubs & Socs Noticeboard for notices, have a stand on the open days etc.

i would def join that jiujitsu club!would love it!

also anyone aware of any acting or drama clubs?

dlofnep

Forms are over in clubs & socs now if you haven't got one yet.

Bluezar

WIT Blues Supporters Club being launched...

This will act as a social club for Waterford United but all are most welcome...

Should be a few good social nights out and events during the year...Locate us next Tuesday in the main campus on clubs and socs Registration day:D:D:D

drumpusher

Can you call over to the Clubs and Socs building for info or would it be better just to wait for open day?

Am interested in the Boxing and Jujitsu would be worth a look as well.

Wait for the open day. Odds are they will have a stall with all the information you need.

imported_guy

I do believe I saw one for boxing and tennis. Bandminton and MMA/jujitsu spin off thingys. If there is no stall - it often means nobody has restarted the club/soc im afraid. Or they will be holding one another day. Just ask the folks in the Clubs & Socs office.

edward543350 wrote: »

All finished. Some may have the odd stall throughout the year. You can get a list from Clubs & Socs and register through them.

Had a good run of registrations for the Young Fine Gael Branch, holding our first public talk on the Lisbon Treaty with Sean Kelly in the Auditorium tonight. Lots of new members from College St which was great. If anyone is interested in becoming a member, just gimme a shout. Its a great craic most of the time and you get to meet some really interesting people and make new friends. Its not "plain awl politics" - it has a great social aspect to it.

lol don't think ff Ógra did too well, tho not bad given the year thats in it =D

and if theres anyone interested in joining our wonderful law soc, the lovely Patrick, Mo and I should have a table in college st over the next week =D
committee elections next week guys 2

Sully

All political partys will have their "core" support so Ógra and SF (who had no student reps this year) should get a basic amount. I believe generally YFG around the country has done very well, with Ógra and SF not doing great. I'm happy that our membership has increased nicely since last year (on doing the list, it seems we got more then I thought originally!) though and hope to incrase it further before our AGM.

Law Society only for Law Students I assume?

Sully

Topics Merged.

Gaming Soc should know the rules on this one by now, come on lads!

Sparkles:)

or anyone doing law modules, or if you're interested in legal debates

-abortion, right or wrong
- legalise canabis
- ignorance is an excuse for wreckless spending (Re. Sean Fitz/Anglo Irish)

were 3 of the debates i attended myself last year, not possitive what else was there... =D

I was going to set up a squash club and a guitar club but i dont know if it will take up too much of my time cause i got a lot of study stupid maths ha

The Waterford Institute of Technology branch of YFG will be holding their AGM this coming Monday, October 19th, in the main auditorium on the Cork Road Campus at 5.30pm.

Guest speakers for the occasion will be:

• Tom Hayes - TD for South Tipperary and chairman of the party,
• Paudie Coffey - Senator and Spokesperson for Enviroment, Heritage and Local Government,
• John Cummins - Councilor for Waterford City South (Ward 3). Youngest member of council at 21.

The main speakers discussion theme will be on education - specifically college fees (since the new program for government was agreed - higher registration fees are now more likely) and how its looking for graduates looking to get work after finishing college.

As always, all our welcome to come along to the AGM including those who are not currently members.

Other items on the agenda include the election of the committee positions and the setting dates for events before Christmas (including Paintball and possible YFG Christmas Party).

Sully

Actually, the meeting had a good attendance - it could have been better, but thats partly my fault for not sending out a reminder text. The WIT branch is small enough compared to our other ones around the country, but is the largest political society in WIT this year and has grown since last. This is its second year running in WIT. Hopefully we can improve it and let it grow every year but a good attendance by all accounts and much better then last years.

With regards to the former chairman - the visit to the Directors Office was in relation to our University for the South East Campaign in which we called on WIT to be upgraded. It was only once and was a short meeting. The only communication we had since was in relation to our Lisbon discussion.

Welcome to the Board anyway - shall talk to you during the week / after mid-term I am sure.

Any chance of getting the minutes sent to me in a PM or email?
wasnt able to attend due to work.

Sully

Lads, I forgot to update the post - the time was changed on Monday to Tuesday

Mitch: Send in an email asking for them, that way the lads can tell exactly where to send them.

Basically - as much content as you can submit about anything at all. The more the merrier - lets try work on a very good and bigger edition.

Friday 19th is the deadline!

Clubs & Socs who have news, please PM.
