Hey everyone, I hope you all had as much fun as I did during Freshers’ Week. Big thanks to everyone that helped out, and those who kept me amused during those long hours at the stand.
This week we have a Coffee Morning on Wednesday the 24th between 12 and 3 in the Student Centre in Meeting Room 3. We will have signs up so you can’t miss us! There will be tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and lots of chat, so come along if you want to.
Also on Wednesday, the lovely Pagansoc libririan, Tina Carter, will be holding a Meditation and Cleansing event to start off the year in a calm, organised manner. This event will also be held in the Student Centre, at 6pm.
On another note, if anyone is interested, there will be a book launch in Dublin Castle on Thursday the 25th at 6pm. The book ” Islands of the Setting Sun”, looks at the astronimcal mysteries surrounding some of Ancient Ireland’s oldest sites (Newgrange and it’s cohorts) and how they are linked to mythology, archaeology and cosmology, and some astonishing alignments.
If anyone has any thoughts about the society or some events that they would like to see us run, you can email me at auditor.ucdpagansoc@gmail.com

Wednesday 5th 6pm: Rooms 1+2 (upstairs Student Centre): “Bigotry On Campus”. Without a doubt all of us have been hit by bigotry in some way, this week’s group is all about the unfortunate presence of bigotry in UCD.
Also it looks like the evening events may be moving again, this time to Tuesday to accommodate more people. And of course if there’s an event you’d like us to run email us at ucdpagan@gmail.com

Finally, I hope you all have a good mid-term break, good luck with projects and please be aware that next term is AGM season so if you’re looking to get involved now is the time.

This week we’re having Ancient Greek themed events.
Wednesday 6th 6pm: The 300 Spartans, Th. E, Science Building Hub.
From imdb.com
Essentially true story of how Spartan king Leonidas led an extremely small army of Greek Soldiers (300 of them his personal body guards from Sparta) to hold off an invading Persian army more than 20 times as large. The actual heroism of those who stood (and ultimately died) with Leonidas helped shape the course of Western Civilization, allowing the Greek city states time to organize an army which repelled the Persians. Set in 480 BC.
Thursday 7th 12-3pm: Coffee Morning (with a screening of “Last Stand of the 300“), Blue Room upstairs Student Centre.
