So looks like CompSoc is going to have another stella year. Attendance for Monday nights “computing night” at The Old Bar has actually gone down since it started getting plugged as a “CompSoc social.”
There is a more important point here though.
As Norm mentions on his blog, last Thursday we went bowling which was good to have some kind of circle activity which we haven’t done in a while. I actually had quite a good time and it was a shame I couldn’t get there for the start.
It got me thinking about a few things though. Circle events have been very much down recently. I’m not entirely sure why. It’s probably a number of reasons. These including the fact that the key organisers of circle events just haven’t been organising events and that people have generally been too busy to turn up. For instance how many people come down to Monday nights at The Old Bar anymore?
This is disappointing because, when it comes down to it, most of us are third years and going to loose contact with each other next year. We’re going to be off doing our own things and if we drift apart now, what hope have we post-graduation? It would be good if we could get some kind of regular Circle social going again beit Monday nights in The Old Bar or perhaps in The Terrace on Tuesdays as me and Norm are there will be loads of us down there anyway. Stop being such hermits people, if I can find time for the pub so can you :D.

I’ve not attended a compsoc social since my first year. It was a quiz where someone instructed me to blow a song using half filled bottles of water to the tune of some kids nursery rhyme i couldn’t remember. Peeling an orange to get the longest peel game was also involved, and some ‘other’ activities. It was good fun though.
I might head down to one of these old bar evenings, im sure there must be some faces i know appart from yours. As you said, would be good to get to know a few people better before we all bugger off around the country…

Well me and Michelle live together yes.
But it’s not like circle events haven’t been going on, we’ve been at The Old Bar on Monday nights for the past 4 weeks.
Wouldn’t count on anyone else’s face though George, nobody from CompSoc actually turns up.
