Summer is here
Well that's it folks, term has finished and Atheist Society has officially ended for the year.
Don't worry though, we will continue to run our weekly socials in the Terrace every Tuesday from 7pm. Come along and enjoy the summer with A-Soc.
Remember summer camping is only a few weeks away now so if you fancy joining us for some outdoor fun then get in touch with Chris or Norm.
Good luck for all those getting results and have a great summer!

Riley Awards 2008 nominations
The nominations of the 2008 Riley Awards have been announced and A-Soc has been shortlisted for the best publicity award.
Unfortunately the union has decided not to shortlist us for best new society or indeed any other category despite the fact we are clearly the best society around but that is how it goes :P.

Mike Lake confirmed for Rationalist Week
First of all the provisional timetable for Rationalist Week 2008 is now online! This will probably change a bit as we haven't got into the full swing of planning meetings with the whole society yet but we have a complete timetable provisionally (not all of it has been announced yet).
Along those lines, our first guest speaker, Mike Lake has now be confirmed. Anyone who was here last year will remember Mike gave a fantastic talk back in April so it's great news he has agreed to come up once more.
More details will hopefully be coming soon. We will be having a meeting before the end of term for people wanting to get involved and if anyone is around over Easter there will be some planning meetings too.
