    Archery, Skydive, Trampoline and Frisbee :P

    Ah we're almost completely different, might see you for a cup of tea or a bit of trampolining though :)

    Anyone interested in Christian Union, Cumann Gaelach, Fan Forum, Global Aid, History, International, Out UL, Photography or UL Rag? :)

    But I would totally consider skydiving...

    Best choice on list and I'm not in any way biased... xD

    In saying that, sky diving is meant to be great!

    Guys, just so ye all know, ye probably won't have much time for more than two clubs and a soc or two.

    I never done it before but I've always had this interest to try it out. Same with sky diving!

    I'm feeling rowing, trampoline, either sub aqua or swim for clubs and UL Rag maybe racing and motor sport or ULFM

    (Archery club is awesome, just saying...)

    Back in first year I joimed archery, went to the first training and absolutely destroyed the inside of my elbow. Apparently hyperextended elbows and bow strings dont go well. Especially when you hit the same spot twice -.- I had a bruise nearly the length of my arm. It wad not a fun cycle home :P

    There's very very few people who've shot before coming to training. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

    Had a few poker nights my friends this summer. Really enjoyed them and I'd suppose it would be a good way to make friends really

    I blame it on my funky elbows. Though out of our group of like 8 three of us ended up hurting ourselves. But shhhh...I want to see white horses frolocking around on campus so uh...none of that happened...yeah...

    I wouldnt call this a whelt :P it looked like a car ran over my arm or something, and I couldnt bend it for like 2 weeks. Iirc I posted a pic of it on the archery page that time 2 years ago. A full length guard probably woulda come in handy, but after that faithful night I never returned...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭CheyK


    Anyone thinking of joining games soc? I'm also thinking about trampolining and marketing.

    Does anybody know how you go about volunteering for ents?

    I dont think so? :P I'll have a look on my hard drive for it. All I can say was that it was very impressive

    Be prepared for copious amounts of SoulCalibur being played on the XBox. There are many there that have affectionately called the XBox the SoulCalibur machine :P

    I just want to take part in the Zombies and Assassin game that goes on all over campus :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,780 ✭✭✭jamo2oo9


    I hope there are some MW2 and Zombies gamers. That's all I ever play on Xbox these days :P

    Do play GTAV on the odd day or two but I can't wait for it to be released on PC as the graphics will be amazing

    For you guys who like movies, tv shows and comic books - Marvel or DC, etc,etc etc, Fan forum is a good society or that. Bit of an eccentric bunch but if you feel like you can handle us then you should join :)

    If that wasn't propaganda, I don't know what is :P

    When I was a first year (makes me sound like a grandma), I joined 4 clubs/socs and ended up going to 1 meeting that whole year hahaha got too busy with friends!

    There will be hundreds, don't worry.

    I'm coming up on the 1st but I don't know anyone going to UL at all, I hope I end up living with some sound people :P

    Is the soccer club friendly ? Love playing soccer and watching it but I've never played for a team(from a gaa town). Also will probably join the music and games society, I'm fairly bad at bass guitar but I hope to get some practise with fellow musicians !

    AFAIK soccer are sound enough, my friend had to take photos for them and she said they were all lovely. I know nothing about the music soc tbh, and G Soc are all lovely, if a bit eccentric :P
    [Ps, awesome username]

    Thats good to hear! Eccentric people tend to be good craic, although my gaming these days is limited to clash of clans and I don't think they'd be impressed with football manager being my favourite series. Oh a fellow magician fan? \o/

    I know a good few of them League of Legends, and then along with consoles you can find some of them playing Magic the Gathering and other card games like that. Every Wednesday they usually have a console day that runs from 12 and you can go in and play whatever.

    Yup, fellow magician :P Totes the first female Great One :P
