which clubs/societies to join? (1 Viewer)

[fantasia]

going to o-week, there were just tons of of stalls advertising their club/society. I'm thinking about joining some but just dont know which ones to join and if its worth it.

i just got intimidated by all the clubs/societies... some of them can be very in your face and pressure you into joining. e.g. the bible society (i dont mean to bash them or anything)

but yeh which clubs/societies have u signed up for or any that you plan to sign up for?

Choose what you like and what suits your course. Find a list somewhere, and try and talk to someone in the society that you trust.

ASA

asian sports associsation

 

[m123]

wat do u do in asa?

 

[spiderdragon]

obviously play sports.....with asians LOL

 

[Acid]

What I want to know is why are there so many clubs exclusively for asian people? Why do they have to distance themselves from the other students just because they have the numbers...

I joined kendo.. 30 bucks and this month's trainings better be good =) Oh and jitsu has a free first session, its monday 8-10 at bulding E9 (dance studio). A tad too late at night for me tho :/

There's HELLSOC too, and I'm pretty sure there's many more. The most probable reason is with all these quarter-life crisis going on, anything can be used as an excuse to socialise, and these asian societies are probably no different.

Wasnt' there the scandinavian society or something, that said "non-scandinavians can join too"?

Jitsu... hehe. One of the physics teachers at my old school runs that club. Mr Crookes

do u have to be skilled in any of these sports to join? eg. i might want to join kendo but i've never done any kendo training in my life.

 

[Courtenay]

i like hellsoc.....they gave me oozo....

 

[underthesun]

No.. that 30 bucks was 10 bucks membership + 20 bucks beginners course. So yeah, join kendo (I'd hate to be the only newbie there)

From what i heard, wednesday 7:00 - 9:00 is for all beginners, so it shouldn't be too harsh for newbies like me. They said the monday ones though, is full of screaming and crazy fighting

but that's for kendo.. and im sure the martial arts clubs are like that, but im not sure about badminton / tennis etc..

 

[tempco]

oooh i was checking out the kendo stall too.. btw, do you know where/when i could join up? they told me to drop by above the uni gym, but i doubt there'll be a person there perpetually waiting for new comers to join, so yeh =_=

 

[underthesun]

Just come 30 minutes before the wednesday one, and ask to join up. It's scary too, but if many newcomers come, it would be less scary

I'm not biased.... JOIN NUTS! DO IT!!

Many of you may have seen the insane first year outside the nuts stall during o-week- that was me.
