rag week 2010

louicious09

very bored thought i'd start ball rolling on this one. :rolleyes:

What do we hope for with rag week this yr other than obvious

Atomic Pineapple

something different and some effort into making sure everything done has a bit more professionalism to it.

the €50 in free drink all night idea is a good one it was just run badly the last time, this time give people the choice, €50 in you get a band which gets you free drink, normal price in and you pay for your drink. And have enough staff to man the bars.

they also had a band in the mpc on time too and had a portable bar there too, it was great craic so it was and something actually worth going to during the day. they should look into doing that again.

The wedding day part should be in Newry, its the best venue it was ever in!
The evening part is harder to place, I cant think of anywhere that it hasn't already been and was ****. Other ideas would be to maybe add food as an option during the day.

The bar should have some serious offers on that week, promotions, competitions, games and stuff, some decent bands would be an idea too.

And for god sake have some sort of communication with lecturers or heads of depts to organise it for a week where work will be light, I had major exams and major projects due the week of rag week for the last two years I was there

It certainly sounds like an interesting choice

FunkZ

It's times like this I wish I didn't become a bum and drop out!

The fifty quid drink and entrance is a bit excessive for students trying to pay bills and rent though. Thirty quid would be way better, I mean they're still gonna make a huge killing! Though the fun of going up north to get drink and getting pissed all day and then going out is way more pleasing in my opinion! I'm gonna try and make it up for a night maybe over Rag Week!

Atomic Pineapple

well the fifty quid thing would have to be run right,

I'd gladly pay fifty quid if:

The opening time was early, say 10pm

There will be a guarantee of loads of staff on to make sure the bars aren't over crowded

all drinks are free not just some

there isn't a two drink limit, say 4 or 5

you can leave, get a wrist band and come back at any time

Aikon2009

anybody know if rag week has been change??? thats seems to be the general tone on the message thing on the SU website!

Atomic Pineapple

you can vote for where you want the wedding in the dkitsu website

20 Times 20 Times

Theres a few things changed including the dates some people have been telling me.

focus_mad

dates are now the 1st of march i think???

h_tynan

Yeah, I heard the 1st March too, hope to stay out of bother this year

Atomic Pineapple

much later than I've ever heard it being, could be a good thing?

20 Times 20 Times

My understanding for the delay is that that 60% of students that actually receive the grant from DKIT , will be delayed this month until the end of feb due to the grant been reduced by 5% in the budget.

Just caught the end of the DKITalk on Dundalk FM and they've got Republic Of Loose in Brubakers on the Thursday.

The wedding is in Newry on Wednesday.

Mr. Hudson is hosting the Rag Ball on Thursday after Republic Of Loose in Silence.

Corona's will be playing Ridley's on Monday.

Also a comedian (I think Andrew Maxwell) from the panel who they're not yet allowed to advertise yet due to contract issues.

Seems like a decent one.

EDIT: Also Judge Jules is on Monday too.

I think the lads go to Amber and maybe the girls to Silence and everyone meets up in Brubakers or Ridley's later on.

I could be wrong though.

Atomic Pineapple

ah I wanted the wedding to be in Newry for 4 years I was there and the first year after I leave they have it there!

What happened to your student ways?

20 Times 20 Times

I think its a great line up and enough there to keep everyone entertained. So kudos to the guys for getting a great line up.

I still think that 2.50 a drink is a great deal to be honest. I'll have my hip flask anyway :-D

Rather good actually. I've got friends living in College Heights so I might use their couch for most of the week. However, if a young lady should arise on the scene then the Crown Plaza is a good fall back option.

Atomic Pineapple

Thank god its not Andrew Maxwell, if it was I'd had to have take off work to go to it and throw pints of beer at him, that guy is just not funny!

The apprentices have a seriously full time table there. I'd say the wedding would be brill but we can't miss days at all.

I saw the posters in the college today, Corona's tickets are on sale on Tuesday for the costly sum of 7 quid! Bargain!

Neil Delamere (sp?) and Judge Jools are the other bigguns on that week

Dillonman

So when are all the tickets on sale. is it next Tuesday then? Im just guna go to the Wedding day and then Loose on the Thursday, If Iv enough yoyos Ill head to the Coronas!

Atomic Pineapple

Ah no way! one of the lads said that they had a word with there lecturers and they just had a study day on the day of the wedding last year so they got to go to it.

Would be worth a shot because the wedding really is unmissable

Panthro

the boardsie folks getting together for a bevvy over the course of the wagweek?twud be delightful i say!
