Hi Everyone, Welcome back to college! I'm Emma the secretary for the coming year. I'll be sending your announce mails once a week and keep you up to date on what's happening on Redbrick :) ==Renew & Rejoin== So just a reminder to people to renew your accounts for the coming year - Continuing students membership is €4 and associates/alumni membership is €6. Also don't forget to drop by on Clubs and Socs day to get your FREE goodie bag with amazing stuff inside!!! You can also pay online via the paypal link on the website: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/help/joining/ ==EGM 2009== On the 14th of October we'll be having our EGM in QG13 at 2.30pm, where we'll be electing our new First Year Rep. So you have to come along to see who he/she's gonna be :) Refreshments will also be provided. ==Freshers Ball== This year we're having our Freshers Ball on 12th of October at 8pm in the Slipper (Matt Weldons, Ballymun Road. There's a map on the homepage > http://redbrick.dcu.ie) . The theme is RED so dig deep in your wardrobes and be creative! There will be drink promotions and €3 drinks. Currently any music requests can be sent to either myself or carri@redbrick.dcu.ie for those who have particular songs they love to "boogie on down to"! Remember it's FREE to all members, so even if you're just curious as to how nerdy any of the present members look, you can come on down and have a looksie :) ==Downtime== RedBrick's network will be inaccessible from 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. This is to facilitate an upgrade of one of our switches. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen problems with DCU security, we were unable to do this last weekend when DCU's internet connection was also down. The disruption shouldn't last any longer than one hour. It shouldn't be necessary to reboot any machines, but we recommend that you save any files you've been working on, just in case. If you have any questions, please e-mail admins@redbrick.dcu.ie So that's all for now. Until next week, Emma :) -- Redbrick - Secretary 2009/2010 If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, why practice? Save the Earth. It's the only planet with Chocolate :).
