MUJS News

Posted on Friday 2nd December 2011

Hey everyone! It's time to start thinking about t-shirts! C:

If you'd like one, just fill out this form and post it pretty much anyplace I'll see it – here, on the Facebook page, PM me here or email me at admin@mujs.co.uk. They'll be the same design as the t-shirts from a couple of years back if you've seen people wearing those, with the MUJS logo on the front and some text of your choosing on the back. You can get them printed in any colour on any colour shirt, although if you go for something really non-standard you should probably list an alternative in case that one's not available ^^

We've been quoted £6.50 per shirt, which once you've ordered you can give to me at one of the screenings before the end of term (tomorrow or next Friday, or if you can't make it to those we can arrange to meet up another time), and then hopefully we'll have them ready to give out when we all come back after Christmas!

Here's the form -

Code:

[b]Name:[/b]

[b]Size:[/b]

[b]Shirt colour:[/b]

[b]Printing colour:[/b]

[b]Any text on the back?:[/b]

Edit: We can offer hoodies as well but I didn't get a quote for those yet. I'll find out tomorrow how much those cost.

Edit 2: Size guides here should be correct - click through to the mens' or womens' size charts and look under the FOTL row.

Edit 3: Hoodies are £12 for a white one and £15 for any other colour.

Leeds thought Bubble Festival!

Posted on Tuesday 8th November 2011

Hello there!

Is anyone planning on going to this years Thought Bubble Festival? here's a link to info about the festival http://thoughtbubblefestival.com

I personally won't be able to go (sadness) buuuuut, I thought it would be a good idea if anyone who will be going could give a shout out as it were so you can meet up with anyone else from the society, and we'll know who to stalk for embarrassing pictures!

Manga and Comic artists ahoy!

Posted on Friday 21st October 2011

I gave an announcement last week for any budding manga comic artists who might like to create a short piece for a comic/short story/etc. anthology which will be part of a charity fundraiser on behalf of Oxfam (see, it's for a good cause!!).

Well, alas but whilst there still isn't a blog or website about it (grrr...), here's a link to the Oxfam facebook group http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000055048839. The manager's name is Emma Cooney so drop her a message or a post and she'll get back to you.

Voting results!

Posted on Sunday 2nd October 2011

The votes are in!

For the short series we will be showing Angel Beats which won by a landslide ^^

The long series vote came out really really close - there were only 7 votes between the first and last place! - but just nudging ahead were Toradora and Azumanga Daioh.

So look out for more of these three shows at our next screening in a couple of weeks' time!

We're back! Welcome Week events

Posted on Sunday 11th September 2011

Hey everyone! A new academic year is almost upon us, which means Welcome Week, and hopefully lots of new members!

We have a stall in the main room at the Welcome Fair (20-22 September) so come along anytime to see us, say hi and sign up.

Then our first event of the year, the Welcome Screening, will be taking place in the Council Chambers on the top floor of the Student Union building from 1-5 pm on Friday 23rd, where we'll be showing Summer Wars and The Cat Returns. We hope to see a lot of new faces there, and for anyone who misses signing up at the fair we'll have sign-up sheets there too ^^

Following the film screening, we have a house party at the new MUJS (mostly) boys' house that same evening - that's 14 Kensington Avenue, with a nice link to Google Maps ^^ We'll be leading new members there after the screening, aiming to arrive around 6pm-ish to get comfortable, maybe eat a nice takeaway dinner and generally get to know each other ^^ Then from 8pm onwards the event opens up to everyone and, well, you guys know the drill XD Party!

And finally (for now!) our usual buffet lunch at Tai Wu at 12pm Saturday 24th - if you're new and don't know where that is yet, don't worry because we'll be meeting on the steps outside the students' union at 11:30am to walk down together ^^ The buffet will cost around £6 per person. Following the meal we'll also be doing a short tour of places in town that sell anime + manga-related goods, to help all our lovely new members find their way around.

Events will all be posted on Facebook too - if you're not already, you can join our group to get automatic invites to all events as they go up. And check out our IRC channel for all your chatroom needs!

So we look forward to seeing all of you soon, let's make this a great year in MUJS! ^^
