OK Freshers, this one if for you's!
FRESHERS WEEKEND
Its all sorted, buses are booked, booze is bought (but buy your own as well). All we need is money! :)
This weekend is for you's and therefore is at an excellent price. The cost of this weekend will be a measly €50 for everyone all in:
- Bus transport all weekend
- Accomadation
- Food
- Instruction
- Equipment
- freebies ..... :)
This wonderful weekend of sex(optional), booze and canoing will commence on Friday 10th October . People will start meeting in the Sutdent Bar at about 12-1. Shortly after at about 6 we will be making out away over to the parking lot behind Engineering Building for the BUS. We will arrive sometime friday night at out hostel/hotel and then do things and then drink more. We shall return home from this majestic weekend on Sunday 12th October
In order to avail of this wonerful weekend away in Laois, all you have to do i give your Name and Money to any member on the committee when you see us (preferably when we are sober).
If there are any queries that you have regarding anything mentioned above DO NOT hesitate to call us. We are here for you. After this weekend, you wont be able to look at each other in College again! It'll be much more fun than any weekend away with your mates!!
guaranteed
On Saturday night of the weekend, it is Fancy Dress. As yet a theme has not yet been announced or suggested by anybody, so please feel free to throw ideas for us and an idea will be up shortly!!!
-
Only €50? That's actually really good. I normally dislike committees but reducing prices is always good.
Seriously, this is where you'll make your friends, get to know everyone, have loads of fun doing the stuff that makes the stories. I wouldn't be in the club if it wasn't for that weekend in my first year and I know a lot of others that feel the same.
GET YOUR ASS ON THAT BUS. (even if only for the bus journey, which is one of the highlights)
-
Don't forget fancy dress on saturday night. Don't forget the three rules of fancy dress
1: Can I drink while wearing it?
2: Can I take a leak?
3: Is it obvious? cause you don't want to explain to everyone what your are.
-
explaining costumes is great! every good costume should be a character piece, not a visual gag. of course, if the visuals make you gag, that's also a plus.
freshers, by the way, we're not kidding and this isn't a half-assed put-on-a-wig-and-funny-glasses kind of fancy dress. think of something good.
-
Freebies, I'm a sucker for the freebies.
Dam Diarmaid, thanks for telling everyone my costume. Now I'm going to have to buy a fake mustache.
-
Cant believe im missing it :'(
there better be freebies at lahinch... or its all on u Peegor!!! >:(
-
yahoo! i've already got my costume ready! and there is no fancy dress theme for freshers weekend- anything goes!
freshers- remember to bring a sleeping bag because there wont be beds for everyone.

I love it when the price goes down with inflation going up! This is always one of the best weekends of the year, anybody can be there should be there - I don't think you're mother's, father's and partner's birthdays being that weekend is in anyway a legitimate excuse - GET ON THE BUS!!! I'm gonna be there rocking the socks and all that mullarkey ,but mainly partyin in ridiculous get up, does anyone wanna go as Motley Crue?
-
who knows? there might be this is a new place!!!
and what are the odds that about half of them will be broken within the first half hour :D
out of interest does the price include vodka-filled super soakers this year?
oh yeah and when i say broken i mean the beds- not the freshers...
-
SCORE TO SNORE!!!!!!!!
I shall be there with bells on as per usual!! its the weekend of the 10th 11th and 12th and it'll be a good one!! bring boose for the bus but not beer or anything high volume you'll just need to pee!!
-
Ho for Sho!, you'll be wearing that cowbell as your ding-a-ling-a-ling!
-
i was gona say that but thought it too crude!!
p.s. ill bring the cowbell ;)
-
there's never a theme for freshers weekend, use your imaginations and impress us
also its good to see the price coming down, long live the reccession!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( and my spelling)
The drinking committee will be introducing random breath tests throughout the weekend, anyone not failing them will be held down and imbibed by our trained experts in messiness
-
what times the bus leaving????
-
At the moment the bus is leaving at 5...I'm tryin to change it to 6 for work types.
-
if anyone cant make the friday and needs a lift out there on the saturday give me a shout
-
ths bus was never leaving for 5 , we had to consider alot of people. so we changed it for 6. was alot easier and more convenient for people that way. more than likely we'll leave at 7.
we'll wait and see
-
You guys rock, now I can be on the bus (at 6.15 at the earliest)
-
psst... I think this ruse to make them like the comittee is working.... Oh the fools...
-
That wasnt a ruse, it was the agreed time!
(karen shut up - dont mention the plan thingy)
Later is better though. but not too late, then people get scared!
-
Lets get LANGERED!!!
-
Just to say to the freshers, we do go paddling as well this weekend. Sometimes ;D

*N7/LAOIS* The N7 Dublin – Limerick Rd is closed both ways from 7am to 6pm today and tomorrow (Thurs 9th), between Portlaoise to Borris In Ossory. At present traffic is busy northbound on the N8 diversion route through Durrow and Abbeyleix. Gardai have switched off traffic lights in the towns are on point duty. Note this diversion could add up to an hour to your journey.
This may still be in operation on friday. Could we have directions to the hut please. I have a notion as to where it is but not sure.

I know ali, its terribly sad.
You shall just have to get twice as messy to make up for me not being there. Feel free to fall over too! :)
-
I think "GOD!!" is Leighton..in which case...yes...I believe you are down.
No sign of a superiority complex there.
As for this other guy... "Base Monkey"...who have you been talking to?
-
Hey juicy, u got my name down?? I gave money 2 matthew on monday!!
-
Do NOT bring anything to freshers' weekend that you don't mind losing!
However, if people could bring down some i-pods, I may have a way of amplifying the sound somehow...
-
Do NOT bring anything to freshers' weekend that you don't mind losing!
Shouldn't that be only bring things that you don't mind losing?
-
i have given no money but i best be on the list - if im not on the list before i attempt to pay im not paying - i know what you're thinking - you'll just steal my bank card like pia did last year but alas you cant ......................................... i lost it last week hahahahahahhahahahahahha >:( put me on the list!!
-
whatever trowel... nina has ur internet banking details!!
-
not anymore she doesn't
-
Hey hey calm down people I only asked cos I might need to get a lift back early!! O.K.!! So Bring it on!!
-
Who is trowel??
-
all in due time fresher............. all in due time :)
-
I'll pay on the bus, by the way. because (acting) treasurers love it when people do that. ;D
-
Right could somebody give me an address and general directions as to where I need to be pop my drinkin socks on, It looks like I'll be leaving a bit later that evening due to work so there's lifts going if people want them. circa 8pm from the Southside only, preferably not to far from me either. I intend on being there (wherever there is) exactly 47 mins later. SO get your boats on the trailer not my roof. I can dot it 47 mins, Ali can vouch for that (as an independent witness of course ;-P
-
whatever jimi did dublin to laois in 27mins!!
-
Word of advice that road is a favourite of the guards especially as you come towards portlaoise. Well the way I'm going isn't going to help you as I am going from home.
From dublin head out the n7 limerick road. It becomes the M7, keep going to mountrath, turn onto the R440 direction Drimmo, before a bridge there will be a turn off for Camross. After that your guess is as good as mine? Will text you friday when I find it for better directions.
Alternate route is to continue along the N7 towards borris in ossory. After castletown take a left at pike of rush hall towards Coolrain then from there Camross. These are narrow roads and will not be very well maintained so watch yourself.
-
Meet Student bar at 5!!! :) If you cant find people we may be tying trailer or magically in the other bar so text someone on the committee or me on 0857103793!
-
Ah yes trowel I may know u already but I guess we shall have to see!!

Yes, but it doesn't seem to give a map to it.
-
Ok guys, we are tying the trailer from four o'clock today. If anyone who is free on campus could drop by to lend a hand it would be great. It shouldn't take too long.
