General Events Thread

philologos

To complement the AGM thread, I think a thread for events that clubs and socs are running as well as AGM's is in order.

There are a number of things coming up at Maynooth Christian Union over the next week:

On Tuesday 13th of October, all students are invited to a free lunch in An Tobar, Student Services Centre organised by the Church of Ireland, and Presbyterian chaplaincies in conjunction with the Christian Union from 12pm to 2pm.

That evening Kevin Hargaden from Maynooth Community Church is speaking in An Tobar, Student Services Centre on the subject "Who is Jesus?" from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available so if you are thinking of coming feel free to stay around until 8:30pm.

On Wednesday 14th of October at 4pm we are having our first Bible Study on the Gospel of Mark in the Students Union building, but we will be meeting at the back of the John Hume building so students new to the campus will be able to find us for the first week.

Good idea, thanks.

Myself and Pisslips will be playing in an Alumni (Old Boys) vs Students Rugby Match this Wednesday at 3pm on the rugby pitch beside the River Apartments on the North Campus. It provides for an interesting spectacle with the old boys and student team always improving each year. The old boys have always won but this year the students are comprised of 15 scholarships(!) and have Barnhall's senior coach as their coach. I'll be in the back row or hooker for the old boys and pisslips will probably be at scrum half.

If there is any night to go to the SU for some pregoing out craic this will be it. We all head back there and get up to some serious mischief.

Just to bump this thread again:

On Tuesday 20th of October, Maynooth Christian Union are showing the satirical film about Christianity "Saved" in An Tobar, Student Services Centre for Film & Discussion night from 6:30pm to 9pm. As always refreshments are provided, and all are welcome!

On Wednesday 21st of October we will be continuing our Bible Study of the Gospel of Mark in Meeting Room 2 in the Students Union building at 4pm.

I was a bit disappointed by that movie when I seen it recently I have to say. I'd only ever read good things about it and was underwhelmed. But +1 for movies with Mandy Moore in them

Mandy Moore

spot on.

Also, while not my cup of tea, Maynooth C.U seem to do absolutely loads, fair play. Such active societies should be encouraged.

There was an Alt Music AGM poster up today with NO DATE on it, and I dont know how long its been up. It had a time and location though. *Thumbs up* Would've gone and all.

I've heard only great things about the CU. Seems like a very active society. Fair play.

Just to bump again...

Maynooth Christian Union are having a guest speaker, Dr. Simon Nolan from the Philosophy Dept to discuss the Problem of Evil, more specifically the question "How could a loving God allow suffering?" on the 3rd of November from 6:30pm - 7:30pm in An Tobar, Student Services Centre. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be availiable so feel free to stay around and chat until 8:30pm.

Our Bible Study on the Gospel of Mark will be continuing after mid-term in Meeting Room 2 in the Students Union building (above Jucie Lucie) at 4pm on Wednesdays.

Maynooth Christian Union are also involved in an all Ireland project to give out 13,000 copies of the Gospel of Mark on university campuses this semester, so if you are curious and need a copy, go to our meetings, or send an e-mail via our website.

A group of people meet up and discuss their short and long term goals. Keeps you on your toes and helps you keep a direction going in your life so a month doesn't pass you by where you wonder what you did with yourself. Guest speakers from time to time.

Join the group below and email Cormac Moore to be added to the email list if your intrested.

Is Hall D not way too small for that talk with Bertie?

PrivateEye

:pac: Its a meeting on opposing Berties presence here, not Berties actual day out!
I think the room will be a bit small anyway.

The Geography Society is co-hosting a talk with the Geographical Society of Ireland on Wednesday the 18th at 8pm. The talk, "Maps, Minds, and Mysteries", is being given by Prof. Stan Brunn, and it's on in the John O'Connell Room in St. Anne's (the building beside JH)

Oh and if anyone has any ideas for articles for Geog Soc's annual journal Milieu, just send me a PM they can be about anything, as long as there's a bit of geography involved!
