Yes, it's that time of year again, when everybody returns for
another year, vowing to actually work hard this time, and when we get
a new bunch of freshers to scare welcome.
While a few hardened members might meet during the holiday, it's
unlikely that you'll run into them by accident. All of this can
only mean one thing - a new(-ish) web site, a new year, and some poor
soul getting ready for the Freshers' Fair.
Planned Events 2008
During the first few months of term we hold a numer of traditional Warped events to welcome old and new alike (although the Burlington Bar by the library around 7.30pm on a Monday night is a safe bet otherwise ;). The main set nights are:
Friday 26th Sept - Welcome Meeting/Film Showing
The first meet up of the new year will take place in MR1, top floor of the Students' Union, Oxford Road. We will be showing 'Pyramids of
Mars' a classic Doctor Who adventure starring Tom Baker. The showing will start at 4pm, so don't be late!
Monday 29th Sept - Wine and No Cheese Night
"Why
buy cheese, when you can buy more wine?" is the reasoning for
this celebrated night. Involves many a sane person drinking large
volumes of wine and making a complete fool out of themselves. Tends
to be a night to be remembered, if not by you, then by someone who
was there, who you'll swear blind never turned up. Held upstairs in the Burlington bar by the John Rylands Library, from 8pm.
Monday 6th Oct - Black Hole Debate
Who should be thrown into the Black Hole to save the rest of the crew? You decide! Be at the Burlington bar at 8pm, or we'll sulk.
Monday 15th Oct - Silly Games Night
Exactly like it sounds, if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at? Meet upstairs in the Burlington bar at 8pm.
TBC - Hallowe'en Pub Crawl
Following
the tried and tested Warped Pub Crawl route (check the pub guide
on the left for the pubs we visit), Fancy Dress is mandatory, and
non wearers will have the piss taken from that day forth. Not turning
up is even worse, unless you have a valid excuse, and a written
note from your head of department, co-signed by the pro-vice chancellor.
Curry Night
There are at least
2 of these at set times throughout the year, one just before Christmas,
and one at a time I forget through alcohol. We have on favourite
curry house, and tend to pick one at random whilst walking along,
by whether they give a discount for a big group of us or not.
