The rooms for the first term of coming academic year have just been confirmed by the President and uploaded to the Sabres’ Google Calendar. The details have been altered on the Meetings and Rooms page and should automatically appear on the Events Calendar as the Google Calendar plugin works its magic.

If you’re too lazy to click through to either of those pages, the basic gist is that, for the autumn term, there are now three weekly meetings. The additional meeting is Sunday Magic, which is held in the Ken Edwards building and will mostly be Magic: The Gathering with a smattering of other card games. The regular two meetings are the Monday Miscellaneousness and the Wednesday Wargaming, which are both based in the Attenborough Seminar Block. Both meetings will almost invariably wind up with us going to the Old Horse, since that’s a long-standing tradition.

If you’re a Fresher, and you’re new to the city, we understand that it can all be a bit overwhelming, especially when we start bandying the names of buildings around as if it’s obvious where they are (which, for a lot of students, it isn’t!). As such, this year, we are introducing a Google Map of the places we frequent. This will eventually appear on the website, when the Google Maps plugin has been installed and configured, but for now just follow the link for all your geographical needs!

That’s all for this time, folks, except to let you all know that the first meeting of term will be on Monday 10th October. There’s a special introduction for the freshers, so we’re starting at 6pm instead of the usual time of 7pm – this is to let the council and the GMs explain their roles in the society before we let you all loose on our carefully crafted roleplays. Until then, brothers and sisters!
