Just a few things to mention after the bit of the break between now and since the exams finished. -STOCS -Lab gaming this week -Summer LAN -Blinky -STOCS- As per our AGM, we voted in favour of a merger with STOCS which now goes under the general title of Traditional Gaming - this merger adds two new positions to our committee: Trips officer - Dennis McCartney and Traditional Gaming Officer - Sean Hand. Traditional gaming will also run weekly events, so we hope that you'll all come along and broaden your gaming repertoire. -Lab Gaming- Thats right, lab gaming is back this Thursday at the usual time of 6pm in C204. So come along and blow off some steam after the long year of study. -BYOPC LAN- On a similar note, GamesSoc intend to hold our next BYOPC LAN sometime in August, the exact date is to be decided nearer the time - so keep your diaries free. -Blinky- Blinky has been restored to its former glory with CS:S, QW:ET and Trackmania all up and running. We also intend to start running regular weekly tournaments on blinky, as we realise not all our members are located in Dublin. We should have these organised properly within the next few weeks.
