Blog

I was going to blog live from the societies fair in the Riley Smith Hall today but we got a bit busy so I didn't have chance.

Unlike previous years, this year each society only gets one day in the Riley Smith Hall and Tuesday was the day for faith and culture which includes us.

Having got to bed just before 4am, I've now been up since 7:30am this morning (well technically, yesterday morning now) to get everything ready. So as you can imagine, I'm rather tired now :p.

The day didn't go too badly, we got quite good conversation rates in terms of signing up paid members rather than just mailing list subscriptions but perhaps that is due to the lack of people who joined the mailing list ;). We talked to a lot of people though so I'm hoping for a good turn out at our intro meeting next Tuesday.

If you missed us today, don't worry, you can come down and talk to us (and sign up too!) at the intro meeting. See the events page for details on that.

While this is probably fairly boring news, I'm going to post about it anyway :p.

The events page has now been tweaked so that it only displays the first paragraph of the events details. This is because previously it would display the entire details which could sometimes be an awful lot of text and it didn't display with any paragraphing - it was just one mass of text.

Now it just displays a quick description and you can click on the event name to get full details. The description has a [More] indicator if there is more text to be read when you view the full details of an event (which there almost always is).

Well, that didn't work very well did it :p.

The site is now back online while we try to figure out what went wrong with the migration.

We are planning to move the site to a new, more stable server tonight. There should be little to no downtime if things go well but in these sorts of events, things often do go wrong.

More updates will be posted on what's happening and when it's done. I'm quitely hoping that that my next post will be in about 20 minutes saying everything went fine to be honest ;).

Hmm, need to improve my titles I think lol.

I feel it's time for a quick blog post. First of all the second part of Richard Dawkins' documentary "Enemies of Reason" is on Channel 4, well, now ;).

Secondly lots of things are happening in preparation for September. Most notably we've started to list events for next year on the events page.

We will also be posting a lot more details on what is going on`soon so keep your eyes pealed to the website.

Richard Dawkins' new TV show starts tonight at 8pm on Channel 4 (with the concluding part next week at the same time I believe).

Having finally got round to processing some more of the videos from Rationalist Week, new videos are now available in the video section to watch. Enjoy!

I haven't posted in a while so I just thought I would make a quick post and say what is going on at the moment.

Our activities have mostly halted for the moment but hehind the scenes we are preparing for the start of next year.

We are also considering throwing together some socials over the summer so that those of us that are still in Leeds have something to do.

The committee page needed a bit of a overhaul I felt so it's been redesigned to look prettier and also provide more information. It's been sitting around for a week or so while it gets tweaked but it's finally live on the site now.

With Norm having taken over as secretary and doing an excellent job too we are now implementing minutes for the meetings (that we actually minute) being available online.

I'm still playing around with the style and how we are going to do it but the minutes from our last meeting are now available online.
