Hi everyone, Floz here!

Just wanted to welcome you all again and thank you for coming to and signing up at our feeble little desk in the Sports Hall today

If you haven’t heard of it yet, we’re having a Pub Crawl on Friday evening. All the details can be found in this post.

That’s it, talk to you soon,

Floz

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

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

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!

Ed

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!
