[Announce-gamesoc] Welcome To Games Soc!

by DCU Games Society

Hey folks, First off I just want to extend a warm welcome to all of our new members and also a welcome back to all of our renewed members. As many of you may already know this has been the most successful Clubs And Societies Day in our history. Not only have we doubled our membership since last year but were also the largest we have EVER been! As such you can expect an even bigger effort from us on the committee for the upcoming year. Right so, lets get down to it, its events that you guys want and its events that youre going to get and as many of you saw over the last couple of days, weve had a pretty active first week back! First off, on Tuesday we were at the Redbrick Freshers Ball in The Vaults in town providing some console entertainment for the masses. That went down really well and all in all a great night was had by allsome of us even had TOO good a night.  Next, on Wednesday we had our first official Console Event of the year upstairs in the Hub in the Seminar Room. Our Xboxs, PS2 and Gamecubes were all in attendance and we had a nice crowd in there for the duration of the day. As some of you noticed the event was slightly shorter than usual, this however was due to a large amount of room bookings that day but rest assured they will be back running at the usual time of 1pm to 5pm next week. One point to note however is that the venue next week will not be the Seminar Room. Were still not 100% sure where its going to be but well let you guys known as soon as we know. Again well have all our consoles there so pop in during your lunch or anytime during the day for a game. As usual if theres any game that we dont have that youd like to play then just bring it along and well pop it on. Last night saw us run our first event with the Karting Society in the New Bar where we again provided some console based entertainment for those in attendance. The event kicked off at 9pm and had free wine and food as well as us some Mario Kart and Halo 2 for everyone there. Again, it was a great night and will definitely be done again, next time even bigger and better! So thats a lot of console action I can hear you say, well not to worry as tonight sees the start of our PC Lab Gaming sessions in the Henry Grattan Building from 6pm to 10pm. Following the success of these events last year CSD have kindly given us the use of the larger C206 lab with its shiny new computers for the event. Games played will range from Counter Strike and Quake 3 to Age Of Empires II and Starcraft with some healthy doses of Trackmania and Enemy Territory thrown in for good measure. Demand is always high for these events so come early to reserve a seat for the night. Also, we may have hinted at some of plans for this year's first Bring Your Own PC LAN event while some of you were at our stand on Clubs And Societies Day. Well as promised you guys will be getting some juicy info about our biggest event to date some time next week so stay tuned! Anyway, keep on eye on both your mailboxes and indeed our forums at http://games.dcu.ie/forums for all the latest info on our events. Hell even if you want to stop by for a chat the forums are open 24/7 and youre bound to find some topic of interest while youre there.  Regards, Simon Chairperson DCU Games Society

[Announce-gamesoc] DCU Games Soc - Hoodies Update

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Howdy folks, Just a quick mail to let you guys know that the hoodies have officially been ordered and will be with us within the fortnight. A small number of you have emailed us asking to pay at a later date and since we're so lovely we have agreed. One thing to note however, you will *not* be able to get your hoodie until you've paid and we'd still appreciate it if you could get the money to us asap. In other news, as I'm sure you're aware our End Of Summer BYOPC is on its way. We're currently finalizing the plans for it so expect a mail about that in the next week or so. Regards, Simon Kilroy Chair DCU Games Society

Howdy folks, As many of you know we've had our Hoodies available for order for the last couple of weeks. The final date for placing orders has now been set as Wednesday, August 2nd after which no more will be taken until after Clubs And Societies Day. As I said in the last mail however, subsequent orders will depend on there being sufficient demand so if you want one of these guys, we advise you to get one now. For those of you who have already contacted us and given us your details, this date is also the one which you must have paid by in order for your hoodie to be confirmed. Details on how to order and pay can still be found on the forums here, http://games.redbrick.dcu.ie/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=1269 Regards, Simon Kilroy Chair DCU Games Society

[Announce-gamesoc] **Games Soc Hoodies Now Available**

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey folks, First of all on behalf of the entire committee I want to make sure you guys are all having a great summer. Needless to say we're still busy behind the scenes organising our events for the upcoming year and believe me when I tell you, they're going to be bigger and better than ever. Anyway first things first, I'd like to finally announce the availability of the Games Soc hoodies which, as some of you may know, we've been talking about for quite some time. Firstly, there are going to be two different designs available in two different colours so you'll have plenty of choices if you choose to purchase one. Images and pricing can be found on our forums here -> http://games.redbrick.dcu.ie/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=1269 Orders will be taken in a few weeks but we're announcing it now to give you guys and gals plenty of time to get your orders in. The first batch will be purchased on a pre-order basis given that we want to have them for the start of the new semester. As such we'll be taking orders either in cash or through payment into our account, details of which can be found off the main page, if that suits better. If you're living in Dublin then we can arrange to get your hoodie to you when they arrive otherwise we'll hold them until the Semester starts and you can collect them whenever you are back in college. Note, any subsequent orders will only be made once the minimum order with the printing company has been reached so if you really want one we suggest you get one in the initial batch. We think they look great and we've made sure that we got the best possible deal for you guys so hopefully we'll be seeing lots of these guys around campus in the coming year. :) In other news, we've finally gotten the go ahead for our End Of Summer BYOPC LAN event. Once we have the final details fixed up we'll send you guys another mail about it. Anyway, as usual keep an eye on the site and forums for more info on the events and any other news with the society. Regards Simon Chair DCU Games Society
