[Announce-gamesoc] Q-Con Reminder

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey guys, Just a reminder about Q-Con. If you don't email me by 5pm this friday the 24th, you *will not* be part of the accommodation or entry ticket booking made by Games Soc. This is because the last date for redeeming items from our Grant App is the end of this semester. As the trip is during the summer, I *cannot* guarantee that you will be refunded if you later choose to book your own accommodation and pay for your own entry, however if you do keep your reciepts, it may be partially refunded at the discretion of next year's committee. Accommodation is only funded to €14/pp/night, so everyone on the booking will have to pay a small amount. Travel is partially funded, but shouldn't be too expensive. Entry is fully covered. Cheers, Dennis Trips Officer

Consoles will start directly after the meeting until 6pm.

Same great games, hope to see you all there. Traditional gaming Wednesday evening we will continue our gaming in CG11 until 10pm with all your favourite Board, War, Strategy and Card games.

Elections This is a big week for DCU with the elections of a new SU and Conveners. We have members running for Student Union President (Alan Keegan) and for Vice-Pres (John Murphy), so make sure you get out there on Tuesday and Wednesday and use your vote.

Karaoke Don't forget people, this Tuesday is Karaoke night for GamesSoc so if you've signed up make sure to be at The Hub and meet the gang by 18:30, dinner will be served at 19:30 and afterwards you can all sing your hearts out! :D If you haven't booked a place and would still like to go then mail us at games(a)redbrick.dcu.ie asap and see if there are any spaces available. We want to say thanks to everyone who attended the LAN on Saturday night. We hope everyone had fun. Also a congrats, to GamesSoc members, Kevin Fox, Shane Khublall, David Jacob and myself who had a great weekend at Vaticon XV in UCD, over the weekend showing up the competition taking 3 of the top 4 places in the Super Smash Bros Brawl tournament and taking home some great prizes. I think that's it for this week, so again if there is anything you want discussed or to complain about just make your way to http://games.dcu.ie/forums and join the chats.
