Oh hello there.
Week 12 already! The year has flown by. I hope assignments are going
well and are almost finished, because we are finishing the semester off
with a bang.
-EGM
-Worms Tournament
-Mario Kart Wii Tournament
-EGM-
This Thursday we're holding an EGM to elect two new members to next
years committee. The positions available are:
-Trips & Events officer
-Traditional Gaming officer
If you would like to run for either of these positions, just show up on
the day and put your name forward for nomination.
There will also be a vote on the proposed constitutional change to
rename 'Traditional Gaming' to 'Traditional & Tabletop Gaming'
-Mario Kart Wii Tournament-
On Wednesday there will be a Mario Kart wii tournament from 2:30pm in
the Old Bar. Entry will be €2 and a fabulous prize for the winner!
-Worms Tournament-
Then on Thursday we are holding a free for all worms tournament! Entry will
be €2 and signups will take place from 6.30pm. A wonderful prize for the
overall winner!
Well, that's it for the year folks. This is pretty much my last email
(well, I'll probably send out one or two more about Q-Con and the LAN we
hope to hold over the summer, but who's counting?).
Good luck with the exams!

Oh hi,
Week 11 already! Hopefully assignments or projects don't have you all
too swamped this week - at least not enough to keep you from coming to
our events! Take a break from that stressful studying and come relax
with some games.
-Forza Tournament
-Buying Games
-Forza Tournament-
This Wednesday we are holding a Forza Motorsport tournament during
Console Gaming from 2pm. Entry will be €2 and there will be great prizes
up for grabs!
-Buying Games-
As the end of the year approaches, a good chunk of our funding is still
going unspent. We have made a list of what we intend to buy, but if any
of you have any other suggestions as to what you want us to buy you can
add them here:

I will keep it short and sweet this week so you can all go back to doing
those assignments (or not, as the case may be)!
Have a good week,
Seamus

-Q-Con
-LAN-
The BYOPC LAN is tomorrow! We are starting from 12pm in the Helix, to

Henry Grattan) and go in through there.

There will be plenty of tournaments throughout the 24 hours, including
some EA sponsored console ones, so if you can make it you should
definitely come along. Hope to see you there!
-AGM-
Our AGM is also this week on Wednesday from 7:30pm in CG19 (yes, during
Traditional Gaming). We have a few amendments to our constitution which
we want to put forward as well as voting for who you think should run

There will also be free pizza.
