Anyone joining anything or recommend something that your already in?

pikachucheeks · 31-08-2009 1:17pm

I'm joining MMA.
Usually join a few and don't end up getting actively involved in all of them

I just did Yoga and Radio last year.

I think we should set up a film society... Could be a fun idea.

Setanta123 · 31-08-2009 1:26pm

what's the magazine society? Film Society sounds good...

Teferi · 31-08-2009 1:35pm

Adventure Soc. Kaying, rock climbing and a whole host of others. It's great.

Magazine society? Haven't heard of it! Would be cool to produce a college paper though, I'd love to do it.

Aha, I joined that Adventure Soc thing!

How would you go about setting up a college newspaper? As you can see I am very eager to do things in the college.

Ummm you'd go to the Clubs and Societies officer in the college and apply to set up a new society.

I think it's a really good idea! The college needs something like it!

Setanta123 · 31-08-2009 1:46pm

Ok cool I'll do that then when I am in there, Mad excited now!! haha

College is pretty exciting!

For a newspaper / magazine, you'd need a really dedicated team of staff though. You're talking at least five people who are prepared to put a lot of effort in.

Oh, and just to let people know, based on last year and previous years, it's three euro to sign up to a society.
You can join and participate in as many as you'd like!

Sign up day is usually held sometime in the first week of college. Each society sets up a table in the halls of the college and you join the clubs and societies you want to be part of

You're missing out. It's a smashing soc.

A paper soc would cool, i'd defo join.

hobochris · 31-08-2009 2:05pm

Netsoc is a very handy one to be in.

You get unlimited space to store files that you can access anywhere with a net connection and if anything goes wrong with your PC or laptop there are plenty of nerds on hand to offer help and advice.

Gavin "shels" · 31-08-2009 2:38pm

MMA and Poker will be my first ports of call I'd say, possibly a bit of boxing (bring back childhood memories) thrown in aswell.

I'd suck at it though. I'm not really the biggest outdoorsie person.

We should consider the paper idea then, might be fun!

High 5!!!

How much would it cost would you say for classes?

Linoud · 01-09-2009 3:25pm

The list of Societies posted there is an old one.
It's missing Games Soc, it's probably one of the newest societies in the college.
Traditional, Tabletop and Console Gaming is what we do. I recommend it to anyone in the college. :P

How sexist! You assume ladies won't like getting hit! Anyone's free to smack me around the place! :pac:

I'd definitely be interesting in doing something ... sounds like good fun

Out of interest, do you ever plan trips to go and see any MMA events?
Friends of mine are competing in Rumble in Rush 2 in November

Randy Shafter · 01-09-2009 11:15pm

I remember getting an email about a college paper when i was in 2nd year. I replied saying i would be interested but it seems the idea didn't get off the ground. There was no mention of it again.

BearsyBoo · 02-09-2009 10:20am

think i might join the mma this year and one or two others

Hmm. Doesn't mean we can't restart it! If people were dedicated to it, there's no reason why it wouldn't work!

Setanta123 · 02-09-2009 11:41am

If you get it started up I will definitely help.

Teferi · 03-09-2009 12:39am

I'd be willing to help set it up.

Setanta123 · 03-09-2009 12:46am

Ok well when I start college I'll get in touch with you guys via here and see how it goes?

Gavin "shels" · 08-09-2009 10:54pm

Just about the MMA, is that in St.Marys Boxing Club aswell or is that somewhere else?

Pipz · 08-09-2009 11:57pm

I'd be interested in the college paper thing. I love writing and editing photos!

If it does go ahead keep me updated with it, would love to help out!

Hoping to join a few societies this year. =]

Anyone ever heard of Parkour/Free-running? Not many people have heard of it, but just wondering if there'd be people interested in learning it...
Here's a link if you dunno what it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q8nhBGitXE&feature=player_profilepage

~Pipz,

Umm. It depends on the society, really.

I did yoga on Wednesday mornings last year. Some societies are on in the afternoons, others in the evenings, some operate at weekends.

Usually what happens is the club holds a meeting and the members vote on a suitable time to have meet-ups. Majority rules!

scruff321 · 12-09-2009 11:28am

I cant remember is it the second week that you sign up for the socs? or when is it?
