Clubs & Socs Day

Hi all, Floz here.

Just a quick note to remind you of tomorrow’s “Clubs & Societies Day” (formerly known as “Fairs Day”).

This is your one and only chance to see all the pass-time offers here at college in one place. All the clubs and societies will have a little table in the main sports hall and present themselves. The whole thing starts at 9:30 (I think!).

This is also the best and most convenient time to sign up with the International Society. It’ll only cost you 2 EUR for the entire semester (the money goes straight to the college insurance company). It is important that you do sign up, otherwise you cannot come along to our trips (again, for insurance reasons). Also, the more members we have, the more money we get from the college, which in turn will allow us to better subsidise the trips (i.e. make it cheaper for you guys).

So see you all tomorrow,

Best regards,

Floz :-)

Welcome to Maynooth!

Hello everyone!

First off, we would like to welcome you to our website, to Ireland, and to Maynooth! We are very glad to have you with us! We as a Society have worked for years to make your time in Ireland more fun and enjoyable by offering activities, parties, films every Sunday evening, day and weekend trips, and to help you transition into Irish life and the Maynooth experience. We are an organization started and run by International Students, so we know what it’s like to come here for the first time! We hope that all of you have got the basic things sorted out for yourselves, like accommodation and course schedules, because after this is done, the fun stuff can begin!

We are planning to start the year off with a quick ‘meet and greet‘ session in the Arts Block, Theatre 1 next Sunday evening (Sept. 28) at 7:30 PM. We will give you all a chance to meet the committee members and ask questions about the trips and activities that we will have throughout the year, and we will show our first film of the semester! We will also give details about signing-up for the Society and for the day and weekend trips! Then, it’s off to the pub!

We already have the provisional schedule for all of our trips for the entire semester posted here, so please have a look! We will begin sign-ups for our first two trips very soon, and will let you all know when and where you can sign-up!

In addition to this, we will also be organizing a Maynooth ‘Pub-Crawl‘, so you can get to know all of the local places here in town!

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site, and we look forward to meeting you all and having a great year!

All the best and hope to see you all soon,

Ed (+ Floz + Simone + Steffi)

Update: The film will be a good old Erasmus Student’s classic: L’auberge Espagnole :-)
