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
