Here's what is happening in GamesSoc this week: - 24 Hour LAN - Trad Gaming - PC Gaming - Console Gaming - HvZ Cleanup - Game Development Meetup - Psych Society Joint Event - Eirtakon

We have booked the Venue from 6pm on the 5th of December to 6pm on the 6th of December! We have booked in for fifty people to be able to attend, so if you are interested please fill in our signups form. We are charging a twenty euro deposit per person, if the costs work out to be cheaper then we will be able to refund some of this to you and vice versa. We'll also have some of our traditional games and console games there, so if you're not a PC gamer there will still be loads for you to do! We'll also be running tournaments over the 24 hours.
