Age of Iron: Event 2!
This summer, Age of Iron will come to an end. It's been quite the ride,
but now everything is heading towards a truly explosive conclusion. The
players still have ten more weeks to make their influence felt, so we
can't say for sure what is going to happen. However it goes down, it's
going to be awesome, and I don't use that word lightly!
That's for crew bookings. If you're a player, it will cost a little more
than £10. Yes that's right, crewing just costs ten pounds, including
transport from York, access to the site, and food, glorious food.
Anyway, player forms will come out with player prices over the next few
weeks.

Week 2: Its what you've all been waiting for
Its that time of the term again folks. Make sure you get all your work done, because you wont have any time this weekend:
Monday 19:00 - Magic the Gathering in the Peter Lee Dining Room, Wentworth
Monday 20:00 - Boardgames in G/001 + G/002
Wednesday 19:00 - Age of Iron in V/119, V/122, V/V123
Thursday 20:00 - Social in Derwent Bar
Friday 19:00-Sunday 24:00 - Convention in G/001+002+010+013 and W/301+304+306+307
Sunday 12:30 - Age of Iron (meet at convention G rooms)
Sunday 24:00 - Deadline for nominations for Abnormal Members for Magic, Boardgames and Wargames - please email us if you wish to stand.
Each position is responsible for introducing new players to their area and organizing the weekly session (as well as any extra's they want to run). The Abnormal members are the go-to for help for other members of the society for help in that area and provide a go-between to advocate for money/time from the main committee. They are also responsible for storing equipment if needed.
It would be great if we could fill these positions, so we can continue to run all the events we have before.
The AGM will also discuss the state of the library, the new constitution, socials, end of term meal ideas and the possibility of changing the Abnormal Member for Magic to include all card games.

The King is Dead, Long Live the King
So another year and another committee. We just want to make a few announcements about next term as you all rush off home for Easter (or go back to your real people jobs):
Due to the exams, this will likely take place split between ground floor James (G/001/002/010/013) and 3rd floor Wentworth (W/301/304/306/307). We will use James as a hub, and people can go off to run games in the Wentworth rooms. I know this is inconvenient, but the Wentworth suite is fully booked all term. Please take these limitations into account if you plan to run anything that will need >1 room.
We will publish a list of things happening at Convention in the Week 2 Monday email, so if you want to run anything could you please contact us by Sunday Week 1.

Alexander MacdonaldI'm sure you'll all join me in welcoming our new committee, and looking forward to their reign of glorious administrative efficiency, and mind numbing terror.
By-Elections will have to be held next term to fill the 2 currently vacant positions as well as the new position of (Ab)Normal member for war gaming.
AGM Decisions
3 motions were raised at the Annual general meeting these were:- That the term 'Normal member' be changed to Abnormal member in any society documentation. This was carried,
- That a new position be created for an (Ab)Normal member for war gaming, This was carried.
- That the position of chairbeing be abolished. This was not carried.
Convention Cospaly:
Our new president already striding into his fresh role, has made this statement:"Some people have suggested adding a cosplay element to next term's convention, which sounds like a pretty fun idea, so if that's something you fancy doing we're telling you now so you have time to prepare stuff over Easter. Obviously it's far from compulsory and the rest of convention will go on as usual, so there's no need to worry if you're not that interested in cosplay or unable to get a costume together!"
So that's it my proper last e-mail completed. I hope all your lives are good, that you live happily, achieve many great things, and I leave you with a reminder to always fear communists, and Connor.
Regards
-John
