Last Film of the Semester!

Hi everyone! Ed here!

Sorry it took until today (Saturday) to announce the film for this week; this is a hectic time of year for everyone! Anyway, for the last film of the semester, and since we didn’t do it yet, we decided to show something Irish! We will be showing the Irish comedy Intermission, starring Colin Farrell.

I hope to see you all there! Be sure to bring some drinks and something to eat! The film begins at 8:00, Theatre 1 in the Arts Block.

All the best,

Ed

How about some Music?

Hi All, Floz here!

How is it going? Tired of studying / writing the 137th essay . . . ? Looking for some diversion ?

There is a concert (actually 3 concerts in 1) in the Aula Maxima tonight (Thursday 13 Dec). The Choral Society, Somebody Else (?) and the Gospel Choir are performing their end-of-year gigs. There are a number of international students performing too, so all the more reason to check it out and get a nice change from all the uni work. There are not too many cultural events happening here in Maynooth, so you shouldn’t miss this one!

Sorry for the late notice, but doors open (tonight!) at 7:00, the concerts start at 7:30 (I think), and goes for about 2 hours (maximum). Not sure how much it costs to get in, but it shouldn’t be too much, especially not for students.

For those who don’t know the Aula Maxima, it’s the free standing building on your left as you walk onto the South Campus coming from the footbridge, and across the small bridge over that little river. (That’s Building 3 on this map).

Hope to see you all there, good luck with the exams and essays,

best regards,

Floz

Newgrange trip

Hi everyone! Ed here!

I just want to tell you all that there will be only one bus to Newgrange on Saturday. We filled the first booking, but we only go 5 people for the second. So there will be 54 of us going to Newgrange. Everyone that signed up before Sunday can still go on the trip, but there will only be the one bus, so we all must go at the same time. I’ll contact everyone that signed up for the seond booking individually to explain what will happen.

As for the trip itself, we will be getting the bus at 8:30am from in front of the Student’s Union building this Saturday morning. Don’t be late!! We will be leaving at 8:30am exactly! Our booking begins at 10:00, so we have to be there on time! Let me know if there are any questions then!

As for the film this Sunday evening, we are still open to suggestions! We’re hoping to show a comedy, so let us know what you’d like to see (or if you have the DVD), and we’ll see what we can do!

That’s it for now! All the best!

Ed
