It’s been quite a year since AGM ‘07. 1 brand new website, 2 copies of Paths, 3 parties, 4 workshops, members from all 5 departments, 6 kinds of products in the shop, getting in at 7.30am on Thursday to poster, 8 books bought for the Library, 9 members joined outside of (Re-)Freshers’, “10 Day’s till Samhain”.

Yes that was the Ryan Gannon year but of course none of it would have been possible without the greatest committee any auditor ever had.

Conor Fleming was our treasurer and went above and beyond to give us the best financial records the society’s ever had and in his final year of chemistry, I’d like to wish him all the best on behalf of everyone at PaganSoc.

Lisa McCarthy was our first Librarian to have a library! And a wonderful job she did. She also was a huge help postering and in the overall running of the society. She’s now Auditor and she’ll be great so everyone wish her good luck and when she asks you to poster say yes.

It’s been my honor and pleasure to preside over the greatest year of expansion for the society, to have seen it prosper and become more involved in college life.

To the incoming committee I say good luck, do the work and enjoy yourselves.
And to the society as a whole I’d like to say thank-you for all that you’ve given me, the opportunity to see how far I can go, the help when I couldn’t carry it all alone and the thanks when I managed to pull it off.

Your welcome and thank-you,
Ryan Gannon
Out-going Auditor
UCD Pagan Society 2008

P.S. I’m not going that far, I’ll be around as the unofficial web administrator next year. Couldn’t get rid of me that easily.

As I’m sure you all know next Monday is the AGM and although we’ve had someone go for all the critical positions we’re still in need of someone to go for treasurer.

The position requires you to keep receipts (keeping a running balance), deny and allow expenses and tot everything up at the end of both semesters.

Treasurers are not required to be any more involved than that.

A treasurer is required for the society to run so I hope that someone will step-up to the plate.

Just a coffee morning this week. I am looking at a couple of workshops before the end of the year. Watch this space for further info.

Thursday 27th 12-3pm: Coffee Morning Room 3 (upstairs Student Centre).

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

Thursday 6th 12-3pm: Coffee Morning Room 3 (upstairs Student Centre).

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.
