Hi everyone,

tomorrow’s IntSoc film will be the classic “Apocalypse Now Redux”. Because the film is loooooong IT WILL START AT 7PM, NOT 7.30!! But don’t worry, there will be an intermission to get coffee and take it easy in the middle of the film.

Maybe see you there!

Hi everyone!! Ed here!

Film: The film for this weekend will be the Irish film The Wind That Shakes The Barley, about Ireland during the War of Independence and Civil War era, 1919–1924. The film will begin at 7:30 PM, this Sunday evening in Theatre 1 in the Arts Block.

Belfast: I’m glad to announce the second semester trip to Belfast! The trip will be held Friday March 6 to March Sunday March 8. This is one week later than we had originally planned it, but this next week is better for the hostel, and will give a bit more time to handle sign-ups and all the arrangements. Also, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge on the Giant’s Causeway tour should be open again! The cost for the trip is 55 EUR per person, and sign-ups will begin this Sunday evening at 7PM in Theatre 1 in the Arts Block! But please, have the money with you when you sign-up! Or if you can’t make it there to sign-up, you can give the money to a friend and have them pay and put your name on the list. Also, here are some useful links that tell can you all about what there is to see and do in Belfast (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Football/Soccer: Some of our members have set up a time for playing football here on campus! They have booked one of the pitches this Sunday at 12 noon! All are welcome to come out and play, and they ask that you show up a bit early to help get everything set up for playing!!

That’s all for now! Hope to see you at the film this weekend!

All the best,

Ed

Hi everyone! Ed here!

First, I want to say welcome to all our new members, and thank you deciding to join the International Society! We hope to have a great semester, and we hope that you can be a part of it!

Our film this weekend will be the Christopher Nola thriller Memento, starring Guy Pierce, Carrie Ann Moss, and Joe Pantoliano. The film will be at 7:30 PM, this Sunday evening in Theatre 1 in the Arts Block. Hope you can be there!

And to let everyone know, we still have some places available for the trip to Cork. The trip is From Friday Feb 13 to Sunday Feb 15. We will leave from Maynooth in the afternoon (time to be announced next week), and leave from Cork back to Maynooth around 5PM, arriving back around 8PM. The cost is 60 Euro per- person, and this covers the round trip and 2 nights accomodation, breakfast included. Here are some of the information websites for our new members to look at so they can have an idea about what there is to see and do in Cork (1, 2, 3, 4).

We are still not sure yet about whether we will have enough people to justify getting 2 buses for the trip or not. We will see how many people we get for the trip as of this weekend, and let you all know. But just to be safe, I will ask for people to volunteer to go to Cork by train! Remember, only if you have the Student Travel Card can you go by train for the trip! If we do have some people go by train, we will need around 20 volunteers, so talk to your friends and see what they want to do. We will see how this weekend goes and let you all know! If you’re interested in coming on the trip, please come to the film this Sunday to sign-up! We will be there from 7:00 PM!

An finally, we still have International Society T-shirts available in all sizes and in Black and Green — here is what they look like. Please contact us if you’re interested in buying one!

That’s all for now! Hope to see you all soon,

Ed

Hi everyone!! Ed here!!

As I mentioned last week, there will be a film this weekend! We will show the film Transsiberian, starring Ben Kingsley, Woody Harellson, and Emily Mortimer. As usual, the film will be in Theatre 1 in the Arts Block, starting at 7:30 PM, this Sunday evening.

And, as many of you know, our first trip of the semester will be to Cork! We have all the arrangements made, and we will begin sign-ups this Sunday evening before the film. We will be in Theatre 1 from 7 pm on for you to come by and sign-up! The trip will be from Friday to Sunday, 13–15 February. We will announce departure times closer to the day of the trip. The cost of the trip is 60 EUR in total, and this covers 2 nights in the hostel with breakfast, as well as the return trip in our bus(es). And just to mention it, depending on how many people sign-up, we might have some people go there by train, so keep this in mind in case you would be willing to volunteer to go there by train. We will let you know then if we need some volunteers for this!

Here are some links tralking about what there is to do and see in and around Cork (1, 2, 3, 4). I definitely recommend that everyone go to Blarney Castle, as it is only 20 minutes by bus from the city, and you can get the bus to go there from right in front of the hostel! Also, the small town of Kinsale on the south coast is very nice, and you can get the bus to there from the city bus station, just 10 minutes walk from the hostel.

That’s all for now! Hope you’re all doing well and hope to see you this weekend for the film and trip sign-up!!

Ed
