    There is a Paintball Soc in the works. However it won't be in the Freshers Tent. This is due to on going discussions with UCD. We're hoping for a spectacular launch in October. In the meantime you can find us on FaceBook

    A lot of clubs, such as hockey, rugby, soccer, etc. run trials and split the members into different groups or levels, according to their ability.

    Other clubs which are engaged in less mainstream sports, such as the rifle club, assume everyone is a beginner and so start their training with the basics.

    Is there a History or French society by any chance?

    There's both. History society usually have a good few speakers in to suit all tastes, with refreshments served afterwards.

    French society used to have coffee mornings regularly enough.

    Long gone. Lonnnnnnnnnnng gone.

    Your best bet is to join the FilmSoc as they have a few SLRs or else FashionSoc cause we're planning some photo shoots and also the University Observer would love some photographers...

    Ah thats sad, it'd been on the go since the 70's apparently, suprised it folded. I'm sure there must be enough people around campus to get it revived again :confused: I'd be interested in joining if there was.

    It really depends on the club. Football, Gaelic and Rugby all do the trials and divide people up after that but nearly all the other clubs welcome people of any ability at all. I joined athletics last year but only made it to three sessions in the end due to illness but they were a great bunch of people. As long as you;d done some form of running before you could tag along. You only ever had to ru nas far as you felt comfortable. Everybody says all th other clubs are fairly similar.

    UCD trials are a bit strange. I saw some very good players not make the cut and some absolutely shocking players get through.

    Give it a shot, but it is a difficult enough cut to make.

    Isn't there around 60 teams or something though? I'm looking for a competitive social team if that makes any sense...

    Yeah, I was reading about the superleague teams, would it take a lot of effort to organise one or how does it work?

    Pretty sure it's always the second week of lectures. The Sports Expo (in the Sports Centre, where each club has a stand for people to sign-up) runs from Monday to Thursday each Freshers' Week. This year it's on the 20th to the 23rd. I don't remember if the Freshers' Tent (in the carpark behind the Student Centre, where the societies have stands) closes on the Thursday or the Friday.
