Hey everybody I would again like to welcome all our new members and a huge thanks to everyone who signed up and visited us on Clubs and Socs day. Our EGM is on tomorrow and it will give loads of you an opportunity to join the committee and help us run the society. Here's the schedule for this week:

===EGM=== Our EGM will be held on Monday 3rd (tomorrow) at 6pm in XG01. The positions we are looking for are: - 2 x PC Officers - Trips and Events Officer - 1st Year Rep - St. Pats Rep There will be pizza and other goodies after the meeting and trad gaming will resume after the meeting as well. You see more details on the event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1789921567922473/

===Console Gaming=== Console Gaming will be held in X101 from 2-5pm as per usual on Wednesday. For the people who won their first round games of the Fifa 16 tournament last week, we will be completing the tournament on Wednesday so make sure to be there for it.

===Trad Gaming=== Trad Gaming is the same as always on Monday and Wednesday in XG01 from 6-10pm and 5-10pm respectively. Monday's Trad will be delayed due to the EGM.

===King of GamesSoc=== It’s good to be king. King of GamesSoc is a massive “tournament of tournaments” throughout the college year, and it has already kicked off, with two prizes being awarded during our Clubs and Socs Mario Maker Tournament! Members fight it out in our tournaments for points, and the person with the most points wins the title! We’re doing things a little differently this year: DOUBLE THE ROYALTY: More kingliness! King of Gamessoc now will have a king rise to power in each semester, to accommodate those who will be in DCU for only one semester. Each king gets their share of royal gaming riches! It’ll give renewed intensity to the competition in the second semester. GET THE POINT: In previous years, every trophy was worth a single point. This year, we’re shaking things up: winning a tournament now awards three points! Among these tournaments, there’s also opportunities to earn even more points! Random trophies for achievements in a tournament setting award either one or two points, at the committee’s discretion. So don’t be afraid to be flashy as hell, because it’ll pay off!
