    Hopefully in time for freshers week or at least the first friday of term! Have been about college quite a bit recently and it looks far from finished, in fact it doesnt look like a huge amount has happened at all! Small bit of structural work so far that seems to be it. They would want to get cracking:D

    Every individual who joins the society gets something from it, be they regular attendees, hanging out in the building at lunch times/freshers week and partaking in the entertainment provided, or just coming along to see high profile guests during the year.

    I didnt, i joined both in 1st year and it was 10e down the drain. Could have joined a few more socs or got 4 cans of bav in the Pav (plus change!)

    Dont try this. The guinness in there is muck. The food in there is decentish though compared to the Hamilton cafe. The staff seem to be a lot friendlier too which I appreciate. O Donovans ( i think thats the name ) beside the lombard do some nice grub.

    Not a hope. Assuming that they're going to have to finish all the proposed work beforehand, It will be a long while yet. They've done nothing compared to what they have left to do. Doesn't look good I must say.

    Quick question - when do we pay the reg fees? Do we need to have sent in the completed "FRS1 Form" first?

    I am also befuddled by this. Do I need to send in the FRS1 and GF1 (for grant) forms to Trinity in advance, or just bring them in when we're registering. It says on it to return it, but specifies no date.

    My thoughts exactly.. I received the orientation pack yesterday and at the bottom of the FRS1 and GF1 forms it just says to return it to whatever office and gives an address. Could we just post them or hand them in in person before fresher's week?

    The whole thing confused me too, so I rang admissions office today: apparently if the form has an address on it you have to post it to that office (i.e the FRS1 Form goes to the treasurer's office). There aren't really closing dates because second rounds applicants have to be considered but asap is what she told me.... ( ya think they would have said that some where in the booklet:rolleyes:)

    So we just post the FRS1/ yellow form to the treasurers office?

    Same I rang the Treasurer's office and they told me that when you send in the FRS1 form they send you out the registration fee form. Then you go to your bank and pay it with the form, quoting your name and student/CAO number.

    Don't buy a week long ents ticket. Buy tickets for individual events.

    Yeah srsly dont. So much better to just decide where you are going on the day rather than have some stupid ticket tell you. The SU events aren't the only things going on and definately arent the best.

    You buy them when you need them or else store them in a cool dry place where they won't get damaged.

    Around your neck like a perverted set of dog tags.

    And Re: the whole week long ticket thing. I got one last year and through a compulsion to get value out of it I had completely burnt out be the time I got home on Wed night and didn't leave the house for a couple of days. I lost a pair of trousers. That's value.

    Crap I've gone and paid on my fees on the epay thing but haven't gone near them forms, thought we did them during freshers week! The booklet is very badly explained.

    Anyone know if i'll have any problems or will it be ok if I send the forms on now?

    Gosh, for a second there I thought you meant 7th October. Assuming you mean September, you should have plenty of time to stock up on lube and sweeties to seduce small-cocked freshmen. Freshers' Week begins on the 21st with lectures following the week after. Mmm, sex.

    Thanks macgowan, we should hook up, swap black books. If you keep up this fantastic attitude I might let you become my wingman. In time.
