Welcome freshers ^_^

Tuesday 22nd September 2009

Hello and welcome to MUJS! If you're new to the society or just thinking about signing up then we hope you'll come along to our freshers screening this Friday at 2pm in the Council Chambers, top floor in the Student Union builing. We will be showing Brave Story and Castle in the Sky then spending the rest of the evening drinking in the union bar so even if you can't make the screening come say hi and sign up if you need to :)

If you can't make that then join us for all you can eat chinese on Saturday at Tai Wu on Oxford Rd. We're meeting at 11:30am outside Student Union building to head up there for 12pm. It'll cost about £5.40pp but try give us the heads up if you want to come so we have an idea for numbers ;). We will then show anyone who wants around town to all the interesting places to buy anime related items etc before joining the others at the pub.

If you're not sick of us after all this we'll also be going to FAB cafe's Jpop night - Ultra Kitty on Monday 28th - more info on times and meeting places to come.

If you've not signed up already at our freshers stall then you can either do it at the movie screening or meal or you can sign up here

Other than that I hope you sign up to the forums and take advantage of our manga library, make new friends and even join us on IRC and facebook

I look forward to seeing everyone and hope you really enjoy our society and all the events we have to offer.
