Hi all, Apologies for the second mail, but apparently people don't like listening to me :( We're announcing ~4 hours of down time, from about 11 O' clock next monday afternoon, while new network cards are added to deathray and minerva, and we try to do something about making your inbox open faster. :) on other, entirely tangentail news, the SU are running a sleepover in the venue next week, which we'll be at providing some kind of internet access. Not really much of a redbrick event, but we are somewhat involved, and it is for charity, so it deserves a mention anyway. There'll probably be loads of us there, so do come along and join in the fun. Anyway, sorry again for clogging your inbox. Cian

Hi all, This week's mail contains details of how you can go Ice Skating for free, play football for free and info on the newly vacant admin position on committee. == Free Ice Skating! == Next Wednesday at 5.30pm Redbrick will be going Ice Skating at the RDS for free! Tickets normally cost 7 euro but we've managed to secure 50 tickets free of charge for our members :) We've also organised a bus to bring everyone out to the RDS. The bus will be leaving the Helix at 4.15 on Wednesday in order to be there before 5.30. Bus tickets will be 5 euro. So, if you'd like to join us for some Ice Skating, send a mail to skating(a)redbrick.dcu.ie and let us know. If you'd like to bring a friend or two along with you, just ask and we may have enough tickets for them too :) == Monday Night Football == Redbrick is continuing to run football for free on the DCU Astroturf pitches every Monday night from 6pm. In spite of the cold weather, we've had a great turnout every week so far, so come along next week and join in! == Admin position == Redbrick regrets to announce that drag0n/Diarmuid has decided to resign from his position of Redbrick System Administrator. At present we have no plans for an EGM, but if anyone is interested in running for the position, please email committee(a)redbrick.dcu.ie to let us know. All admins are required to pass a test and be elected by the Redbrick members. That's all for now, we'll have details of our Christmas party, being held with both Games Soc and Drama Soc very soon. Hope to see you all at Ice Skating! Kev Redbrick Secretary

Hey all, Here's this week's Redbrick mail! == Monday Night Football == Our weekly football game takes place tonight at 6pm on the DCU Astroturf pitches. The booking is paid for by Redbrick, so no need to worry about costs and we'll be meeting in the Hub beforehand at 10 to 6. We'll be going for a few drinks in the bar afterwards at about 8, so feel free to join us then too. == Open Day == This year's DCU Open Days take place on Friday the 16th and Saturday 17th of November. Redbrick will be out in force, with planned activities currently including taking over part of the CA labs for the days and hiring out a red bouncy castle! We will be in need of some help to keep things running over the two days, so if you're free and interested in helping out, just send a mail to receive(a)redbrick.dcu.ie to let us know. We'll be sure to reward anyone who turns up to help out :) == Account Renewals == The Redbrick admins would like to remind anyone who has not yet renewed their Redbrick account that if you have not paid up by tonight, your account will be disabled. You can find details on how to pay here: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/help/joining/ and if you have any questions or problems, please email accounts(a)redbrick.dcu.ie to get them sorted. == committee.redbrick.dcu.ie == We'd also like to remind you that you can keep up to date with the latest news and read blog posts from the committee at http://committee.redbrick.dcu.ie That's all for this week, Kev Redbrick Secretary
