The New Coucil and Upcoming Events
Tuesday 21st April 2009
Hi an welcome back from Easter everyone! First off are the results of the Council Election if you missed them:

Chair: Sophie Markey
Treasurer: Simon Payne
Secretary: Stephen Alderman
Librarian: Colin McCaughan

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who took part and voted!

Our first event this term is a TV Screening in Meeting Room 1 on Friday the 24th, which will of course be followed by the traditional drunken debauchery in the Solem Bar and the Oxford. Hope to see you all there!

Screenings, Drawing, T-Shirts, yet more Cosplay and Election
Saturday 7th March 2009
Okay guys here's what's happening until the end of term (which is nice because it means I won't need to remember to make another newspost till the 28th!)

Upcoming Screenings are on WEDNESDAY the 11th of March in council chambers at 7 and on Friday the 20th of March at 7 in MEETING ROOM 1 (the room next to council chambers). I hope that doesn't cause any confusion!

We also have a Drawing Session on Friday the 13th in Meeting Room 3. There's only space for about 20 or so people at anyone time in there unfortunately but everyone who isn't drawing is free to hang out with everyone else in the bar.

T-Shirts have finally arrived! They will be available to pick up at the next screening the price is £9 without text on the back and £10 with text.

Reminder again that the Cosplay Party is at the Phoenix on the 27th of March! Prices are now confirmed as £1 with Cosplay and £4 without and £8 if you dress as Shinji from Evangelion!

Last but not least the deadline for nominations to Council Election has been moved to Sunday the 15th of March with the Election itself at the Screening on the 20th.

That's all for now!
Geraint Thomas,
Chairman

Screenings, Lasers, Cosplay and Elections!
Tuesday 24th February 2009
Well it's been rather too long since I made a newspost, so here's what you need to know!

We have a TV Screening this Friday at 7 PM as usual in the Council Chambers. There was no Screening last week due to room booking difficulties and as it stands there won't be one on the 6th either. Keep an eye out on the forums and facebook as it is likely that screenings may not always be happening on a Friday until Easter.

We are again going to Laserquest on Tuesday the 3rd of March, if you are interested in going say so now as places are going fast!

The Annual Cosplay Party is booked for Friday the 27th of March at the Phoenix so start getting your costumes ready for that!

Last but not least it is election season! Nominations for the 2009/2010 Council are now open, so if you are interested it is time to sort out your manifesto and find someone to nominate you. Nominations close on the 13th of March.

That's all from MUJS at the moment, See you all soon!
Geraint Thomas,
Chairman

New Year
Sunday 11th January 2009
Happy New Year everyone! Here's a quick update on what happening over the next few weeks.

First off, just in case you weren't aware, MUJS is doing a cinema at Pangaea with the Film Society on Saturday the 31st of January. We'll be in the foyer of the Students Union and hopefully I'll be able to give you some sort of idea what will be on and when during the night in the next week or so.

For those who are wondering screenings will be starting up again in February once the exam season is over, when we'll have a vote on what to watch for the rest of the year.

We will hopefully have sorted out T-Shirts by the end of the month, thanks for bearing with me me for so long on this!

See you all soon!
Geraint "Dot Communism" Thomas
Chairman
