The Perks Of Being The Only Sober One Being the sober one can actually be pretty great. Here's why.

Hi guys,

I see that we have a lot of new likes at the moment! Unfortunately the society hasn't been active in a while but if anyone wants to help bring the Society back we'd love to see that happen! Throw us a message here or email at [email protected] and we can get talking. :-)

Meeting Wednesday
Pointless Quiz soon

Yes

I thought that I'd try start a discussion if anyone wants to have some input? :)
With Christmas coming up all the crazy drinking traditions have started, particularly Christmas Day next Monday and 12 Pubs. How do you guys handle it if you decide not to drink? Would you skip it completely, tag along but maybe leave early or go full force ahead like any other night out? I always see this time of year as being one of the more difficult as some people find it to be an excuse to get even more drunk than they usually do!

Good morning HOFSOCers! Hope some of you will be in attendance for trampolining at 3 30 today! its in the sports hall and all are welcome :) also thought id post this interesting article on the USI distancing itself from drinkaware, what to you think of it?

Union of Students in Ireland distances itself from responsible drinking organisation The national students’ union will no longer partner with drinkaware.ie and plans to work with “other bodies not funded by a self-regulating drinks industry”.

Loads of cakes here waiting to be eaten! Come along to the Arts Block to buy some in aid of SOSAD!

I hope that everyone has their sweet ready for the HOFSOC/Amnesty bake sale tomorrow! It'll be on in the Arts Block tomorrow from 11.30 to 3pm.

Also, keep an eye on your emails tonight and your calendar free. We might have a pretty fun event planned for later this week!

WE NEED BAKERS!!!

MSU Amnesty have invited us to help them with a Bake Sale on Thursday but unfortunately it appears that our committee aren't the most skilled bakers. Would any members like to help and donate some lovely baked goods towards the sale?
