    Ok, so I was queuing for registration today (10th time registering in TCD, I am beyond nerdy...) and I was bored and reading the back of the form. At one point it said

    1. I apply for membership of the Societies Club
    2) I apply for membership of DUCAC
    3) I apply for membership of the Goldsmith Club.

    Now, 1 & 2 I know, but what's the Goldsmith Club? Is that just a fancy term for the JCR?

    Think it's a post grad common room as opposed to junior. There's definitely a room in one of the houses in the main square that has biscuits and newspapers for postgrads and a few couches.

    Oh cool. it's just another name then for the PG common room in Front Square.

    It's fancy, I like it in there.

    I don't think that's right; the Middle Common Room is owned by the Graduate Students' Union.

    Goldsmith Hall was originally intended as a student centre - hence the presence of society rooms and the Junior Common Room being moved there from Regent House. The Goldsmith Club was the body set up to hold the bar licence for this venue, similar to how the bar licence for the Pav is held by the "Dublin University Central Athletic Club" (established by DUCAC for the purpose). Obviously the Goldsmith plans fell through and the licence is disused, but it is still in effect, and had this year's student centre referendum been passed, it would have been used for that purpose.
