Hi,
Just a quick message letting you all know what's going on with the rocksoc with regards to the future.
First off, suppose we'd better go through chronologically,
This wednesday (20th Jan) will be Risk Risk at our weekly meeting run by our very own General Commander Julian. If you don't know the rules or are a veteran player, come along and have a go, rules will be explained...oh and everytime you take a shot at a players defences you take a shot, provided by us ;P (*may limit to 2 or 3 per group per N attacks :P) it'll be all explained on the night. *(Also Prizes will be given out for the winning team)
The Wednesday meeting after (27th Jan) will be the Rocksoc MasterMind. If you fancy giving it a go, then please grab a commitee member at the meeting on wednesday (20th) with a specialist subject. Deadline for entrants is this friday (22nd). You can also sign up on the forum thread.
Friday 29th Will be the 2nd Assault of the Year 2010. Come along for awesome fun, awsome music and quite frankly okish drinks :P We'll hopefully have drinks prices sorted and printed on flyers around the Pulse bar so if they charge extra you can facepalm their heads into the bar *disclaimer: please don't facepalm their heads into the bar, we'd prefer it if you just found an exec member too shout at the bar staff for you*
NB: If anyone is seen taking/carrying/selling/painting with/using to create a macaroni picture with drugs they will be thrown out and banned from future Assaults and the police may have to get involved at the discression of the SU management. You have been warned!
Finally the BIG TRIP (well EPIC if not big). We're leaving Nottingham on the night of 20th Feb, to cause havock and run amock in a ordered and structured fashion with the bearded ginger one as our lead to the not so fair city of Birmingham, though i hear they have lovely summers. That's right, we're off to EDDIES ROCK BAR! ^_^ we'll be signing people up to this on the wednesday (20th jan) meeting. and yes, this is an attempt to give you lovely people plently of notice and bucking the trend of 2 days notice :P Oh, and I've been told by the powers that be, that priority of this Crusading adventure of epicness will be given to those who sign up and come along to the meeting!
Much Love,
P. Tom + The Exec xXx
Hey up guys.
The end of term fast approaches, and with it the welcome break from uni, but we aren't quite done yet.
This Wednesday we're upstairs in The Sal, for our CD swap fest and party games. We hope you've been burning some tasty music onto disc to bring along and trade for others' submissions. There will be music provided by Jack and Terri (and possibly someone else, I forget), there will be a twister competition, and there will be Hungry, hungry Hippos. Come along, make merry and buy a T-shirt.
Sadly this merks the end of the First semesters antics from the RockSoc. After Christmas we will be back on Wednesday the 13th of January with another meeting, filled with some such antic or other. We will keep you posted.
Also chalked up for the near future are trips, to Eddies in Birmingingham, and the Wendyhouse in Leeds. Las(z)er quest, bowling, ice skating and if you all behave yourselves, a cheap* paintballing trip.
Have fun celebrating the birth of an Anti-materialistic Jew by buying a crapton of presents for your family. We'll see you on the 13th.
The Exec
Right My lovely Rocksocers, a bit of news about this week and the dealings we will be venturing towards.
Firstly our meeting will be on wednesday (9th) at the sal at the usual time of 6ish, with a slight change....we will be leaving the sal and heading over to the newly opened central bar (near to Oceana) for the annual rocksoc christmas party hosted by UoN Rocksoc around half 7, getting to the venue around 8ish. From what I hear the prices are £3 for members, £4 for non-members. The night will feature 3 rooms - 2 rooms of clubnight and a third chillout room. The evening will be kicking off with 3 bands before beginning the clubnight, although there will be an alternative club room for anyone who doesn't feel like checking out the bands.
Just a Reminder This friday (11th) is the final assault of the term and to get in the festive mood it's going to be the Christmas Assault, with presents and Satans Grotto. as per usual requests can be made on the forum. prices are, £2 before 11pm and £3 after.
much love and adoration,
the Exec -x-
Sorry it's been a while since we updated this, though I am pleased to see so many members joining in with the debauchery and fun that is rocksoc ^_^
Thought I'd stop by and tell you lovely people what's going on this week. On Wednesday we're having a special meeting down in the caves beneath the Sal. we'll be meeting people in the usual places around the pub to take you down if you don't know where they are. After this we intend to have a Real Ale and Cider pub tour around nottingham, taking people to pubs they might not know about or usually venture into alone. At each pub there will be a designated suggested drink to try.
On Friday the 27th we have Indecent Assault. Basically it's the one Assault of the year the Dj's are allowed off their chains, and can play what they like regardless of genre boundries. In the past these have always been welcomed with anticipation! You can go to the forum to request songs. doors are as ever at 9:30pm and it's £2 before 11 and £3 after. Open to the general public too ^_^
Saturday 28th is the trip to Redeemer, where our resident Assault DJ Spike spends his saturday nights playing to the masses. This Trip is run by UoN rocksoc, but we can tag along, if you'd like to come, please post on the relevant thread. =)
Wednesday 2nd Dec, We're back upstairs at the Sal, and you lucky devils, we're having a RockSoc Quiz with intergrated Cd Swap, more info to follow...
till next time,
much love from your Exec!

Welcome! Come one, come all, just make sure you come hard.
As the President of the Rocksoc it is my... pleasure, to welcome you all. For those of you who have been here before you all know what to expect. Those who are new to us, get ready for a year of fun and awesome.
First of all I'd like to direct you to the Forum, accessible via the link to the left. Second only to the Weekly meetings for telling you what's going on, when and where, the forum also provides a great way to contact your fellow members. Feel free to poke the trolls, it's hillarious.
My secretary and office gimp Pirate Tom is about to spout info about our upcoming Alternative Freshers Week, but before I let him at the keys I want to pimp our weekly meeting a bit more. Head upstairs in The Old Salutation Inn on Wednesdays for announcements, and the first opportunities to sign up to our trips and events, as well as excellent alcohol (drink responsibly!). The announcements are at 6pm, but you should all come early for a laugh.
See you all soon,
Bainbridge.
The new Exec are in the process of taking over the website now. Watch out for the new years details soon!
