Apologies for the second email but there is a slight amendment
for my previous email to be made.
The Freshers Ball will be held on Thursday the 4th of October,
NOT the 3rd as previously stated.
Sorry for the mix-up. I hope that my time-travelling escapades
will not stop anyone from attending the event.
Still hoping to see you all there,
-Mark Gorman
Hey guys!
First off, the committee here would like to welcome both new and old
members
to this new year of Gamessoc. We hope that you guys wont be afraid to
jump
straight into all of our events, and we hope that you enjoy yourselves.
|| Gamessoc and Redbrick Freshers Ball ||
Tomorrow, on the 3rd of October, we will be hosting our Freshers Ball,
in conjunction with Redbrick, in Matt Wheldons (aka The Slipper).
The event will be kicking off at 7pm, so you should definitely come
along and get to know some of the other members.
The Slipper is located literally across the road from DCU campus main
entrance. If you leave The Hub from the side with the nuBar, just
follow the road off of campus and you'll find it with no hassle.
This will be the last event we are running for this week, but you can
expect a new email filled with exciting events for you to partake in
this
weekend, so make sure you keep your eyes open.
If you have any problems, or queries, that you'd like to talk to us
about,
please feel free to email us at games(a)redbrick.dcu.ie and we'll get
back
to you with a helping Hand as soon as possible.
See you there,
-Mark Gorman
