… just a quick plea — could you please send us the public link to your photos, so we can share them with the non-Facebook members?

What I mean by this: please follow this guide and email us the public link to your photo albums that could be of interest to other members (for instance, of the Kerry Trip).

Thanks a million,

Florian

Hi everyone! Ed here!

Just wanted to let you all know the final details for the Ring of Kerry trip!

Friday we will be leaving at 1:30 in the afternoon from in front of the Student’s Union building on the North campus. The trip to Kerry will take approximately 4 hours depending on traffic. We will hopefully arrive and chck in to the hostel by 6 pm and be able to hit the town for dinner and go out to the great pubs they have down there!

Saturday morning we will be on the actual Ring tour; we will announce departure time for this while we are on our way down to Kerry, as we need to sort out times and details about the day tour on Saturday with our driver. The tour will take most of the day, and will get us back to the hostel in the early evening. We will then have another night for gonig out in the town!

Sunday will be a relaxed day, with plenty of time to go around the town of Killarney and visit a few local sites. We will meet back at the hostel on Sunday afternoon, and we will get on out way back to Maynooth at around 3:00 or 4:00 pm.

Here’s another last minute look for those of you who have not gotten a chance to see what’s in store for you on the trip (1, 2, 3, 4).

That’s all for now— see you there on Friday!

Hi everyone! Ed here!

I hope everyone has been having a nice week! We’re just letting you know about a few events going on in the next week!

Next Wednesday (Feb. 20) there will be a charity 70’s fancy dress night in aid of the Marie Keating Foundation. The NUIM Snooker Club, the Maynooth Gospel Choir, the Paintball Club and NUIM Geography Society are presenting and organising it. The evening in the SU will be featuring (from what I’m told) a very good Elvis impersonator (he won Elvis Idol 2007 in Las Vegas!), as well as a Tina Turner Impersonator! And, our own Gospel Choir will be joining them for the show! We have a few of our own in the Choir, including Floz!

It’s sure to be a great night, so go on and get yourself some tickets for it! And the best part is, if you live on campus, the tickets only costs 2 EUR! You can buy your tickets at Maeve’s office (that’s the Student’s Reception office right at the River Apartments)! Get them quick! They’re selling fast! All proceeds from the show will be going to charity!

And, in honour of this event, our next film night (this Sunday 17 Feb.) we’ll be showing the recent musical Hairspray! The film will begin at 8:00 in the evening this Sunday, Theatre 1 in the Arts Block. Hope to see you all there!

Just so you know, we will send out final details about the Ring of Kerry trip (exact departure and return times) early next week.

All the best,

Ed

Hi everyone! Ed here!

I want to start by saying thanks to all who signed-up for the Ring of Kerry trip, and sorry to those who didn’t get on the list; we’re limited because of the fact that we have our driver and bus booked for the entire weekend, something we don’t do for the other trips. But we can assure you that there are (generally) no limits on how many people can go on the other trips we will hold later this semester! For example, we had nearly 80 people go on each of our trips to Cork and Belfast last semester, and we’ll be able to do the same for the trips we do later in this semester as well.

The film this weekend, in honour of the recent tragic death of actor Heath Ledger, will be the film for which he will be best remembered, Brokeback Mountain. The film will begin as usual at 8:00 PM, this Sunday in the Arts Block, Theatre 1. You can always check what’s on over at the activities page.

And someone wanted me to mention it to our new members: A big number of our members are on Facebook, and networking through this has helped the process of meeting and connecting a little easier. So look out for others out there, join our group there or register yourself to help meet some of the cool people that are here in Maynooth! I of course am not cool, as I don’t have a Facebook page! Haha!

Anyway, hope to see you all soon, and I hope all the new people have enjoyed their first week of the semester!

All the best,

Ed
