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! ^^
