What times do the clubs be on at? I know they're not organised yet or anything but do they be on during the day or in the evenings? I want to join a few but i have to get a bus home every evening at 6 so I wont be able to do anything after that

depends on the clubs, some will be earlier in the day some later. they usually have times up at clubs and socs day

SVP Maynooth

Hi everyone,

If your looking for a society to join, why not consider the St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) . We are basically a society of charity, volunteering and having the craic. We run many activities each week from soup runs, extra support classes for 2nd level students and nursing home visits as well as events during the year such as the ever popular Fr Ted Themed 'Lovely Girls Competition' as well as many others. We are totally flexible to suit you and you can get involved as much or as litle as you like. See you on Clubs and Societies day (Fairs day) and Pastoral Groups day. :D:D

Will you be doing this again this year? I was quite disappointed in myself for not entering last year but I needed to learn how to make a cup of tea!

Most of the Clubs and Socs don't know yet... The Union are playing with the format of the day. but I guess you can't mess with success...

Yup there's a ladies rugby team, part of NUIM Rugby club. Not sure about the girls but mens rugby season hasn't started yet. You can get all the info on clubs and socs day.

I was just wondering if NUIM has a musical society, i.e. a club that stages or has an interest in musicals.

Could someone PM me the information if there is one?.

Maynooth Musical Society is based in the town Maynooth (rather than in the college) but anyone can join! We're doing Godspell, auditions starting tonight and running until Saturday. Girls national school, Maynooth.
Audition Times:
Thursday and Friday 1830-2030
Saturday 1530-1730

Audition will involve singing a song of your choosing, acting a piece/monologue of your choosing and learning and dancing a short dance.

Please bring a SPARE copy of your chosen monolgue/script piece for the auditioning panel, particularly if you need us to read against you.

Reminder: Rehearsals will be Monday 6-8 and Thursday 7-930

Anyone know the times for the judo club? And will I need a gi early on?

I'm pretty sure it's a mix of all the techniques you can use to defend yourself in a situation. Not a fighting style.

They 'draw their inspiration' from Jiu-Jitsu and American Kenpo.

I was looking through the clubs and societies and I was wondering if there was any RPG or Roleplaying society..I'm not taking about anything sordid but the adventure, dice playing kind. I dont know enough about it to setup or run myself but I would be very interested.

RPGing is a big part of NUIM Games Society. We supply rooms most nights of the week for them, and have a well stocked library.

We do have a CCGs coordinator but not such if we do that game. Then again no harm in suggesting it to him anyway.

Ahh I see thats cool, I've always wanted to learn how to defend myself properly, because I have been in a situation before where it would be useful. Thanks for the info, I'm looking forward to this now.

Thinking of starting Yoga this year, does anyone know how much it'll be per class?
