Katanagatari, depending on which is preferred! For more information
on those, or to make suggestions for next weeks anime, you can check

be run next year, and who will be running it. As such it's the most
important meeting of the year for us. You'll also get a chance to voice any
opinions or complaints you have about the society, and make suggestions for
how we can improve.
The following committee positions will be contested in the election;
- Chairperson
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Librarian
- Public Relations Officer
- Film Officer

If anyone is interested in contesting any of these positions, please let us
know in advance of the meeting by emailing us and declaring your intent.
ams(a)redbrick.dcu.ie
The Annual General Meeting is very important and we'd all encourage everyone
to attend.
*MCM London Expo Comic Con*
*
*
On the last weekend of May, AMS intends to make our annual trip to London to
visit the MCM Expo Comic Con. As usual, this event clashes with the last day
of DCU exams so we will be unable to make bookings until the final exam
timetable has been announced.
If you are interested in attending MCM Expo with us, please email us stating
your provisional intention and the name used on your Passport. Additionally,
a limited number of DCU students may be eligible to additional funding from
AMS to support travel costs and entry. In the event that funding is
available, it will be offered on a first come, first serve basis.
*AMS Library*

Lastly, if any of you have any loans outstanding from the AMS library, manga
or DVDs, we would ask you to please return them before the end of semester.
I hope to see all of you at our AGM next week.
Regards,
Seán Hand
Treasurer

Thank guys,
Your Film Officer,
Ceili Braidwood.
How are ya lads,
Hope everyone had fun for Paddy's day, we're back to normal showings
this Thursday, from 6 till 10 in C165. We've got the film, Welcome to
the Space Show for the showing and then we should have another hour
after that to fill up with another anime, if you have any suggestions
let us know in the forums here:
http://eirtakon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21975#post21975
In other news, Mecha painting sessions will be back again this week
from 5 till 6 in CG03 (TBC) if you missed it in week 5 don't worry,
all our welcome for the painting of mechas. :)
That is all,
your Film Officer
Céilí Braidwood.
Hey all,
Just a reminder to everyone that there will be no anime showings this
week as it is St. Patrick's day this Thursday and the college will be
closed. Normal showings will resume next week on the 24th of March.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Your Film Officer,
Ceili Braidwood.
Hey guys,
Sorry for the lack of mail last week, apparently the mail systems
haven't been working very well lately! For those of you who read the
forums you'll know that the mecha painting session has been moved to
start this week on Thursday, before our showing from 5 till 6 in room
CG03 If you're interested, try to show up on time cause we'll probably
have limited amounts of Mecha for everyone.
As for our showings, we're back in C165 this week and we've finally
finished with 20th Century Boys so this week we'll be watching Battle
Angel Alita which we didn't get to watch during Tech week, and we will
also be watching Seto no Hanayome (My Bride is a Mermaid) Along with
those two we should hopefully have room for a third anime so if you
have any suggestions head over to the forums and let us know, if we
don't get it shown this week we might still show it in future weeks so
if there's anything you want to watch tell us about it!

We'll also have limited supplies of pocky and badges on sale again
this week so if you missed out last week don't forget to bring some
change this time so you can stuff yourself silly on chocolate covered
breadsticks!:)
Hope to see you all there,
Your Film Officer,
Ceili braidwood
Hey y'all,
As you may have noticed, it is Tech week this week and we are
apparently showing technology themed anime for our Thursday showing!
What does that mean you ask? Well, after some brainstorming, we have
come up with a number of anime which involve inordinate use of
technology both current and futuristic! While I was at first tempted
to show such greats as Professor Gadget and Dexter's Laboratory, I did
eventually remember that we are an ANIME society, therefore, this
weeks showing will include Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex,
Battle Angel Alita and Summer Wars. For more information on each of
these you can check out the forums:
http://eirtakon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21330#post21330
We will of course be meeting in the usual place (C165) from 6 till 10
so I hope to see you all there!
Also, we need to get some idea of numbers for the mecha painting
classes starting next week so if you're interested either send us a
mail at ams(a)redbrick.dcu.ie or show up this Thursday and let us know
then!
Alright, I think that's all for now,
Hope to see you all on Thursday,
Your Film Officer,
Ceili Braidwood.
Hey all,
just a few things to tell you this week, first off Refreshers is
tomorrow so if you wanna come along for a chat or have any friends who
have not yet joined but really should, come along tomorrow, we'll be
there from 9 till 3 or so, so you've plenty of time to come find us.
With regards to events this semester, we've a few things happening,
(some tentative, some definite!) We'll be having mecha painting
sessions starting in week 4 and running for the next three weeks
after, they should be happening on thursdays before showings. We'll
let you know more a bit closer to the time. We will also be holding
some sort of anime/manga drawing class for arts week which will be
reheld this semester since it was cancelled last semester due to the
snow!
Along with these we are just putting the finishing touches on a new
logo design and will hopefully be selling badges featuring that design
to raise money for RAG week (And if all goes well, we may also be
selling pocky for charity as well!).
Last but not least, this weeks showing! Since we watched the first
film of 20th Century Boys last week and there are another two films to
follow I was thinking we might continue to show them for the next two
weeks however, I decided to leave the decision up to you guys, whether
you want to watch the next two films or if you want to go back to
watching anime, let us know by voting in the poll at the forums, here:
http://eirtakon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=959
Showings will most likely be held in the usual room of C165 from 6
till 10,
Hope to see you all there,
Your Film Officer,
Céilí Braidwood
Hey guys,
just a quick update, apparently we have a new room this semester so if
you're coming along this evening then we will be in C115 in the Henry
Grattan from 6 till 10 as per usual.
See you guys there,
Your Film Officer,
Ceili Braidwood.
