Last-minute Botanic Gardens!

Hi everyone! Ed here!

I just wanted you all to know that we still have a few places left for the trip to the Botanic Gardens at Powerscourt this Saturday! We will have a last-minute sign-up session for anyone still wanting to go with us on Thursday, May 1, between 6 and 7 in the Arts Block! We will be by the circle of computers in the corridor! The price is 10 EUR, and this is the cost for the Bus only, admission prices are discussed below.

So, here’s the run-down of the trip for Saturday: The bus will pick us up in front of the Student’s Union on Saturday morning; we will be leaving at 10:30 am. Please be ON-TIME! The travel-time there should be no more than 45 minutes each way. We will then come back between 4:30 and 5:00 pm, so we will hopefully be back in Maynooth no later than 5:45 pm, depending on when we leave from there. And here is a link to the Powerscourt Gardens’ page that talks about the prices for entry.

The Student price for entry into the Gardens is 7 Euro, and the Student price for the Waterfall is 4.50 EUR you have the choice of which things you want to see when you’re there; you can just go into the Gardens if you want, or just the waterfall, or both if you like! But remember to bring your student IDs with you so you can get the Student prices!

That’s all for now— see you tomorrow between 6 and 7 pm in the Arts Block!

Galway bus and news

Hi everyone! Ed here!

I just wanted to let you all know that we were able to get a bit of extra money from the Student’s Union, so we will be able to have our own bus for the Galway trip! I’ve made the booking for it, and it will leave at 2:00 pm this Friday from in front of the Student’s Union Building! Also, I wanted to mention that we have 2 or 3 spaces still available, so if you’d like to sign-up, let me know very soon!

And one more thing: I hate to bring up money, but there are about 12 people who still need to pay for the Galway trip; I have to collect that money and get it in the bank by Friday morning, or we won’t be able to pay for our bus! Please get in contact with me tomorrow and have the money ready if you haven’t paid yet! If not, I’ll have to cancel your beds at the hostel, and I don’t want to have to do that! I won’t be around tonight because I’m going to a show, but get in touch with me tomorrow! You can ring or text me at 087 6761959.

As for the trip to the botanic gardens, we still have some places left for it. If you’d like to sign-up, contact us and we can arrange a time to meet so you can get on the list and pay!

That’s all for now! If you still need to pay for the trip, get in touch with me as soon as you can on Wednesday!

Film and Botanic Gardens visit!

Hi everyone! Ed here!

The film this weekend will be O Homem Que Copiava, a Brazilian comedy! As usual, the film will be in Theatre 1 (or 2) in the Arts Block, this Sunday night at 8:00pm!

We have also set a date for the trip to the Botanic Gardens at Powerscourt in Enniskerry! The trip will be held on Saturday, May 3. The bus will pick us up at 10:30am in front of the Student’s Union, and we will leave from there at 5:00pm. The cost is 10 EUR per person for the bus, and we will let you all decide when we arrive what addmission price you want to pay, because there are different prices depending on what you want to see there; remember that this is the site of Ireland’s highest waterfall! We will begin the sign-ups this Sunday at the film!

Hope to see you all there!

Belfast Trip Details

Hi everyone, Floz here!

Sorry for only getting back to you so late. We have good news for you — the numbers work out and we can financially afford to hire our own bus for the trip up to Belfast (whoo-hoo!). So here are the final details:

We’ll be leaving tomorrow (Friday, 4 April 2008) at 2:00 pm from in front of the SU Bar.

As usual, please be there a bit earlier than that so we can leave on time. Don’t forget to bring your passports or official ID as we will be crossing a border…

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for more great weather this week-end and see you all tomorrow,

Floz
