I still like the idea of a book. :)
There is a loose plan to have a big awards dinner (blacktie or not), at somewhere like the Guinness Storehouse, but Carolie (bootie) made a fine point that us redbrickers might be better off with just a fancy bar place (same venue?), and not a sit down meal.
I wouldn't want to have pat-on-the-back "best brickie" awards at the event - Just a few speakers, some cake, and lots of networking :) These can occur whether or not there's a meal. I think we should aim for a high-profile event, with the book launched and the collage present. Also in attendance could be old servers, some sponsors, media types, people from companies who employ brickies, etc. I think that the current committee shouldn't waste an enormous amount of time on the parts of the event that cater for the alumni - the event should be used by the present committee to showcase the society and services as it is at present, and they should be given ample opportunity to do so. The AGM will be at a similar time of year, this should be taken into consideration when planning the event.
My webpage is crappy - can we make a mailing list? (and then continue the discussion from there)
Bah, can't we use an AJAX-powered RSS-feed-available wiki? Oh, ok then... http://lists.redbrick.dcu.ie/mailman/listinfo/redbrick-birthday Brian. -- "Immigrants! I knew it was them! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them."
