Shortly after our support rally which took place yesterday we received word that Gilligan Gibbons had been released and was now on her way back the UK!

It's fantastic to think we had such an effect and so fast too! Congratulations to all involved :D.

Atheist Week is going well. If you have missed a lot of it - don't worry! It's all going on YouTube.

With that in mind we have now launched our new video library which lists all of the videos we have now uploaded categorised into various topics.

Head over to the videos page to check it out. There are plenty more videos from Atheist Week on their way.

The informational page for Atheist Week is finally online. It details the various events that are going on including the specific talks and other events, where they are, what time, etc.

It's quite an exciting time for the society at the moment. Which is why we haven't blogged for ages, it's all just been too exciting :p. Seriously though.

Tonight's meeting, "What God can't do" saw a strong turn-out and quite a good chat in the pub afterwards. Plus we have a lot of exciting events coming up.

Namely, in a few weeks time it's Atheist Week. This is a week long (well, 4 days actually so not a week at all) series of events, debates and talks about Atheism. It's not quite on the scale of Rationalist Week but it's going to be big!

Secondly, the weekend following that is the Weekend in London. We're currently throwing together all the details for that and it's shaping up to be an amazing weekend. One which I wouldn't want to miss!

Next week is a crazy week for the society - we have 5 events! Yep, count them, 5 of them. That's crazy. Actually don't count them as only 4 are listed on the events page as we don't explicitly mention our weekly social because it's just implied by now.

We have two debates on Tuesday, a talk on Thursday and social on both Tuesday and Thursday. So seriously, you have no excuses for not coming to at least one of those events!

You think you have it intense but think of us poor committee - we have 7 events to attend as we also have at least two meetings to go to. A-Soc doesn't half keep you busy!

We've just made our lunch time talks even better! Tomorrow's talk, "Evolution - it's a fact" will now feature free food so you really have no reason not to turn up :p.

If you missed the details it's 12-1 in the ARC conference room at the top of the union building and the speach will be about how evolution can fit into both atheistic and theist world views and so it shouldn't really be the big argument that it is.

I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who came down and made the intro meeting quite a success. We welcomed quite a few new members into the society and I'm looking forward to a great year.

I've now posted a page about the weekend away in November where we will be going down to London this year.

The page contains information about the weekend, an outline of the schedule (which we are still putting together) and a few other details on the trip. It will be updated as we get more information sorted.

If you haven't heard about the weekend away you're missing out - it's a bargain weekend in London, we have a train booked to take us there and back and accommodation right in the centre of the city.

It's open to everybody (though members get a big discount) so you can bring your friends along as all the A-Soc activites we are organising are optional.

Just a reminder (or notification if you have somehow missed it ;) that our 2007/2008 intro meeting event is tomorrow evening. It's at 8pm in Meeting Room 3 up in the ARC at the top of the union building.

At the meeting we will be talking about the society, the committee will be introducing themselves and we will be discussing some of the events we have upcoming over the next few months (so it's a good meeting for existing members to come along to too).

If you haven't joined the society yet there will be an opportunity to and you can also sign up for our weekend away. After the meeting we will be heading down to The Terrace for drinks and a bit more of an informal chat. And if you're still with us by the end of the night we even have discount entry to a club sorted too.

I've just added loads of events listings. And I mean a lot! We've now got 14 upcoming events on the events page.

And this pretty much represents the events we are running in the first term. Some of them are for next term but then I haven't finished adding all the events we are running this term - there are still a few talks to confirm and I haven't added any of the socials yet.

When we said we had a busy year for the society planned, we weren't joking. I'm hoping this year will really live up to everyone's expectations so head over to the events page and take a look. If not, drop me an email and complain! :).
