[Announce-gamesoc] Warpcon, Bandit, Hoodies and a Resignation

by DCU Games Soc

Hi folks, I hope you are all studying hard for the imminent exams! Just a few things to mention before we enter the next semester: -Resignation -Bandit -Warpcon -Hoodies -Resignation- Unfortunately our PRO Marek Steplewski has resigned due to a high work load, being in final year and we would like to thank Marek for all the work he has done up to this point. This leaves an opening in our fabulous committee, so if you like photoshopping stuff onto other stuff and have a flair for design, you might consider running for the position next semester (EGM date to be announced nearer the date). -Bandit- GamesSocs own game is close to coming to fruition! The game will be going on sale during Rag Week for charity and at just €4, it is a bargain. A big thanks to the development team and all those who helped out. More details here: http://bandit.games.dcu.ie/ -Warpcon- For those of you who emailed us booking places for Warpcon, this is just a reminder to tell you that we have indeed book your places. Accommodation will be the Cork International from the 29th-31st, costing €11 per person per night. -Hoodies- Our shipment of hoodies has arrived, so to pick yours up just come to one of events when we start back up in week one of the next semester with €25 and it's all yours! That's all for now, best of luck with the exams! Seamus -- DCU Games Society - Best Society 08/09 http://games.dcu.ie

[Announce-gamesoc] Hoodies for Christmas!

by DCU Games Soc

Ohi, Well, week 12 is coming to a close and with that, the end of the semester! For those of you who ordered hoodies, our shipment arrived today and if you are around DCU, you can collect yours from 2:15pm in the Clubs & Societies office upstairs in the Hub. If you're not around, don't fret, we'll lock them up safe and sound until next Semester. And with that, Games Soc would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Keep an eye on your email though, as we will more than likely be organising some form of outing during the break. Merry Christmas!
