Hi everyone!!  Ed here!

As some of you know, we got a new order of t-shirts made, because the first order didn’t turn out the way we wanted.  The ‘Globe’ on the first order turned out very different than how we would have liked, but the new ones look perfect!  The new order arrived this morning, so we now have them available for sale!  The new shirts, because they turned out perfect, will be selling at the cost of 10 EUR each.  We will still have the older t-shirts available for 7 EUR each.

Here’s a look at how the new ones turned out:

If there are any of you that have already bought the older one, but would really like to have the new one, what we will offer is this: Return the older t-shirt (as long as it is CLEAN!!!), and pay the extra 3 EUR, we will take back the old one and give you the new one!

I will be at home for most of the afternoon, so if there are any of you that are leaving today or tomorrow, and would like to have a t-shirt before you go, you can come by my apartment on campus to get one!  I’m in Avoca 7, River Apartments.  Or you can ring/text me at 087 6761959 and we can arrange something!

That’s all for now; All the best to everyone for a great holidays, and a well-deserved rest!  Talk to you soon,

Ed

Hi everyone! Ed here!

I saw an announcement for the Dublin Christmas Market, which is starting on Dec 12, so I thought I’d pass on the information about it on to all of you! It will be going on right at the IFSC (Irish Financial Services Centre) in Dublin, and is just a 5 minute walk from Connolly Station! Here is a link to their map and here is some information about what they will have there. It sounds like it will be pretty good, or at least as good as the one in Belfast! I hope to go and find out for myself!

As many of you know, we have decided on our final design for our T-Shirts, and we thank you all for voting! The final winner on the contest was the Globe/Bus/Pint design. We are happy to say that the order for the shirts has been put in, and we’re hoping to get the shirts here as soon as we can. We were told they will be ready perhaps as soon as this Friday, and no later than next Wednesday. We will let you all know as soon as the shirts are here, and we will do our best to give everyone the chance to buy one, particularly those of you that won’t be back after Christmas. We have ordered what we hope is a good mix of sizes, and we have got have of them in black and in ‘Kelly Green’, so there will be some choice for you too! We’re still not sure of what the final price will be, as we haven’t gotten the bill for the t-shirt company yet, but as I mentioned before, they will cost either 8 or 10 Euro each. We will let you know when the shirts arrive.

The film this weekend is the Irish Christmas film Evelyn, starring Pierce Brosnan, Aidan Quinn, and Stephen Rea. It’s based on the true story of the first case ever to reach the Irish Supreme Court, and is about a man who has to fight regain custody of his children after his wife abandons the family. It’s a great holiday film, the perfect film to show right before Christmas time in Ireland! We will shot it as usual in theatre 1 in the Arts Block, this Sunday evening, starting at 7:30 PM.

That’s all for now; I hope everyone is working hard to get all their essays and assignments finished in time! All the best and hope to see you all soon.

We had meant to get a design for T-Shirts out much earlier in the semester, but you know how things go sometimes! Anyway, we’ve come up with a few designs, and we want you to decide which you like the most!

We’re not sure how long it will take to get the T-Shirts made once we decide on a design, but we’ll try our best to get them before the end of the semester! The approximate price for each shirt will be 8–10 EUR. We will let you know then about different sizes and colours available. (Currently we are considering two colours, black as well as green, to give you some choice). The writing and designs on the shirts will be in White. Please take a look at the designs and let us know what you think by voting for your favourite!

And now: The poll!

Which T-Shirt design do you like best?

• Globe-Bus-Pint (45%, 39 Votes)
• Been there, done that (40%, 34 Votes)
• Maynooth (9%, 8 Votes)
• Maynooth sucks. (8%, 7 Votes)

Hi everyone! Ed here!

Well, I think we’ve got all the volunteers we need to go to Galway by train, but I’d like 1 more volunteer, just to be sure! Anyway, since many of you had questions about how to get to Heuston station in Dublin, I found the perfect thing for you to look at so you can see where it is and how best to get there. Have a look on this, and you can zoom in and take a look for yourself! Also, I have decided that I will go to Galway on the 14:35 train. I will leave Maynooth on the number 66 Bus into Dublin. This bus is scheduled to leave from Maynooth at 13:05. Anyone who would like to go at the same time as me to make sure they get there with no problems can meet me at the front entrance of Dunnes Stores at 12:45.

If there is anyone else getting a later train, and I know there are a few, please text me when you’re close to Galway, and I’ll come meet you at the station!

That’s it for now! See you all soon!
