Sod the universe. Saturdays in St Andrews suck, I want rocksocs then too.

[Ragamuffin]

Oooh. Good call. Saturdays are kind of lame.

We want the finest wines available to humanity. We want them here and we want them now!

[Garnet]

OH yes!

[hr]

so alive, so full of fire and music!

[Thalia]

Not unless we also have Thursday rocksoc. Don't make me choose between Rocksoc and my regular dose of Saturday night TV!

You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life and now you wonder what it's like to be damned...

Invest in a video, woman! Or new-fangled freeview recording malarkey!

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the substrate.

I agree - bring on rocksoc on saturday!!!

[Roulette]

Saturday Rocksocs would mean I'd actually have to turn up for Friday lectures instead of lying in bed complaining that I went to bed four hours ago.

...maybe this is why I'm failing.

Lame, but cooler than you.

[flossy]

It would also help for us "grown-ups" who can't really turn up to work hungover the next day...

I want to agree with this thread and bring it back up to the top. What does the committee think? I can't think of any downsides except that Thursday Rocksoc means the weekend starts earlier. But there'd be nothing stopping Rocksoc from having a pub night/crawl/cinema trip or something on Thursdays aswell.

Damn, why didn't I do that when I had the power?

I don't believe we can. As far as I am aware the union won't let us have Venue 2 regularly on a saturday (don't hold me to that, but I seem to remember having that conversation with someone)

I know you have to book rooms weekly for Sunday. Does that apply to the whole weekend?

Even so, a Saturday night Rocksoc would be kind of nice (and in-tune with the drinking habits of real people). It'd be worth chasing up, and/or seeing if they'll make an exception for us.

Edit: Better yet, dare I suggest it; Venue 1 and the Beer Bar?!

If that's true then, IMO, it very silly. I believe their argument would be something along the lines of...


"We need the space on a Saturday evening just in case another society/event wants to use it."

Whilst this sounds like a reasonable argument, its not really. Venue 2, as the name suggest, is the second largest club-style venue the union has. As such, the only society/event that should be considered is one which will utilise it as a bar/dancfloor area.

Since it is never used regularly as this on a Saturday night, it makes sense, both finacially and in terms of appropriate use of space, to grant this night to a society/event that can fill it every time it plays there.

Given that rocksoc only has need of the room every second week, this would allow booking of the room for societies/events to have one of bookings of the rooms (as they do now).


If the statement about using Venue 2 regularly is incorrect, then I appologise.

If the statement is correct and the reason I have given is not the correct one or the full story then I'd love to hear the other reasons.


In short - could the committee organise communicating with the union directly on this, as throwing things around here is pretty much useless.

I actually think it's a great idea especially so I don't need to go to my lectures hungover.

RockSoc Halloween is on Saturday 3rd November, that do?

Saturday Rocksocs would be awesome, as there is no way I can make Thursday ones from Aberdeen...
