Hi folks, This is just a quick mail to you all, telling you about some of our upcoming events. First of all though, I'd like to welcome you to RedBrick (or welcome back for quite a few of you). I suppose a brief description of RedBrick and its services is in order. Redbrick is Irelands largest networking society, both online and socially, we hold many events throughout the year ranging from our freshers ball to trips to the cinema. We provide our members with many different services, our mainstay being IRC/Chat and our boards. However we also offer free web and image hosting, tutorials on how to use RedBrick to the best of its potential as well as other various topics of computing. Anyway, on to events and stuff: -C&S days -New committee members -Introduction to RedBrick this Tuesday -Paintballing -Your suggestions ==Clubs and Societys days== RedBrick signed up a total of 224 users over Tuesday & Wednesday. Some of you are new, some of you are not. I'd like to thank everyone who turned up to show their support. Lots of free slushie was had by all (this may be a lie, as it took so long for the stuff to freeze >.>). ==New committee members== RedBrick held an EGM last Wednesday, electing a new Chair as well as a new first year representative. So a warm welcome to Emma as first year rep and a welcome back to Kat as chair, who was previously our events officer. ==Introduction to RedBrick== This Tuesday we're holding a talk in LG26 (that's the computing building) at 6pm. Here we'll show you the basics of getting started using RedBrick (if you haven't already), so come along and get comfortable with using RedBrick. However, if you're looking to get a headstart by yourself there are plenty of helpful guides on getting started at http://wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie/mw/Helpdesk ==Paintballing & Finland trips== RedBrick are going paintballing in Limerick with netsocs from all around Ireland on the 25th of October, signups have already started to take place, but don't worry if you act quickly enough you can come too. The total cost is €40 with a €20 deposit. The cost includes accommodation plus a bus to and from Limerick. There is also one last spot free for our trip to Finland that will take place during the inter-semester break. The total cost of the trip is estimated at around €150 euro. We'll need a €10 deposit as well as your name as it appears on your passport, DOB, email and phone number. If you're interested in either of these, contact the committee by emailing committee@redbrick.dcu.ie ==Your suggestions== As a society, we're constantly looking to improve, to do this we need your input as to how you'd like the society to be run. If you have an event you would like us to try hold or have any suggestion at all with regards to improving the society, please e-mail the committee, as before at committee@redbrick.dcu.ie Well, that's all for now. This will be my last mail as secretary. I can go back to people not knowing what my actual name is. I was just filling in while dano (our real sec) was filling in as chair. Best of luck throughout the year, Seamus.
