Hey guys!
It's week two, which means that we're all getting used to being back
in college. That's ok though, because college means more GamesSoc!

- EGM
- Snakes and Ladders with RAW

Yay, it's time to rejoin your favourite society! (That's us, right?)
We'll be signing up new and old members over the next three days,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Come along to see your favourite
committee members, who will sign you up for the normal four euro for
the year. And of course, we'll have some sweets to try and brib- I
mean, entice you to join. Find us at booth 78 in the back of the Old
Bar.

Trad as always will be running on both Monday and Wednesday in XG01.
On Monday it will be running from 6pm to 10pm, while on Wednesday it
will be running slightly earlier, from 5pm to 10pm. Woo more trad!
Just don't ask Stephen about seagulls...
- - Consoles Gaming - -
Consoles will be running this Wednesday in XG16 from 1pm to 5pm. We
will be starting tournaments from week three onwards, so this gives
you a chance to chill out before the competitiveness starts!

We're planning to host a Fresher's Ball during week three to welcome
our new members as well as our old members back to GamesSoc. More
details to follow next week!

campus during week six! Prepare your socks and nerf guns, and be
prepared for some zombie fighting action.

We will be holding our EGM during week four in order to elect a new
First Year Representative, Trips and Events Officer, and Treasurer. In
order to run, you must first email your interest in a position to

Hey everyone!
Welcome back to another year of college and gaming related adventures!
We're all looking forward to the year ahead, and while it's only
fresher's week we still have some of our events on.
Here's what's going on with GamesSoc:
- Trad Gaming
- Console Gaming
- - Trad Gaming - -
Trad gaming will be running twice this week, the same as last year. On
Monday and Wednesday, it will be running from 6pm to 10pm in XG01.
Come along to catch up with people after the summer break and play
some games and stuff.
- - Console Gaming - -
Consoles will also be running this Wednesday. We'll be setting up the
usual consoles and games in XG16 from 2pm to 5pm. The shorter time is
due to the time period we can access the Helix basement. However we
can still have some button mashing fun, and shout obscenities at each
other (just like old times...)!
We're working on getting PC Gaming running again, however it may take
some time to get everything sorted out.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
