As a committee we decided to throw this to the vote to give everyone an opinion, the reason we were considering change is for the following (includes pro's and con's):
Monday, Friday & Weekends (not for vote) because we feel these would be unsuitable and unpopular days.
[you]Tuesday[/you]
Pro's: Not much happens generally tuesday nights, wednesdays are only half days.
Con's: Same night as Japanese society, but we could do the showing then have a shared social (we would need to speak this through though)
[you]Wednesday[/you]
Pro's: Again, not much happens on a wednesday and most courses have a fairly easy day.
Con's: People that want to do sports would most likely be unavaliable to attend
[you]
Thursday[/you]
Pro's: We've had this room before so possibility is higher of keeping it, most members of the society would attempt to continue this night being free
Con's: Clashes with LARP and is a popular 'night on the town'.
[glow=red,2,300]VOTING CLOSES WEDNESDAY[/glow]
Yes I know this is soon, but this is just to get a brief overview of your thoughts. It will not defaintely determine date, it is just to see if there is a large preference

Just a thought - it's worth checking whether there are any other (major) societies using the Conference Room on Tues/Weds - as it ruffles a lot of feathers and causes a lot of stress when people try to change long established society roomings. Also, we've lost our lovely and very sympathetic contact who was in charge of all room allocations, so you will have to make it very clear why you need the Conference Room (i.e. that you have enough people to fill it).
Another thought - Wed/Thurs cons = usually gig nights. I've not noticed them so much on a Tues. I don't know if that's anything worth considering as I'm sure they'll throw some in to bugger things up, whatever night you choose!

Hmm, I say might as well keep it on thursday... although thurs being a gig night is a drawback, especially when the sound's not working so well.

Just by looking at the significant clashes listed it's clear to me that Thursday would be the best day. We've been successful with it so far; it could be dangerous to change. It's not the biggest going-out night, and besides, a good percentage of animesoc are probably reclusives at heart. We're anime fans for crying out loud. In the corner, out of the way. Stop staring at that 16-year-old and go buy that Highwind model that's calmly rotating outside Travelling Man, it's the only reason you left your house today.
Er.
As for the gig night sound problem issue, I have an general purpose mini hifi with line-in that can easily be carted around, and it can make a heck of a noise if it wants to, so if that's wanted I'd be happy to bring it along.

well I'm not fussed, since I never do anything in the evenings anyway. Actually, thursdays isn't that good for me, since thats the day I'm meant to stay late and be sociable with people on my course and talk about the work (or lack of work) I've done that week.... nono, thursdays is the best day for me...god forbid if I actually have to go to one of those things and say something spontanious and clever about my work But since I'm sure there are some people who can't make thursdays, then we could always do something on one of the other nights, like a film showing, rather than serieses (is that a word?), ever other week, or something...I dunno, I'm just crapbabling  |

mm..id prefer wed to thursday personally! the only major drawback is the sports! i still think tuesday is better than thursday, although the japsoc would be a huge drawback! theres quite a few ppl that were going to come/ were coming at the beginning of the year- but stopped because can't make thursday nights, as they have other societies to go to, and/or they're going out with friends! and early friday morning tutorials are quite common 2!! ..and there's the gig thing 2! Personally i have clinicals friday morning  which means i have to get up uber uber early and look presentable! ergh! and i have a committe meeting every thurs nite for another society which i keep cutting short (and i also might start going 2 medics hockey practice if i have thurs evening free) i dunno wed just seems like a better day 2 me, it breaks up the week better, i think we would get a lot of LARPers in too, and other randomns who would otherwise be goin 2 drydock to get pissed!! the only prob with this is that the ppl on the forum are generally speaking the ppl that already come, and hence can make thrusday with relative ease! but, still dsnt matter too much...i shall make time for animesoc whenever it is ;D- it being the sum of my entire social life and all |

All i know about my timetable next year is I will have either wed or fri off, which means tue or thu night will be good for me. Though there is a slight possiblity i will keep my thursday evening shift on, which i have at the moment, which means thursdays are impossible, reson why you haven't seen so much of me  So I vote for tuesday! not that anyone else will because of the japsoc thing, but would mixed socials really be that bad, i mean surely they are quite similar to us? |

i think its more just that ppl that would go to animesoc and japsoc would have to choose...the mixed social bit would be fine, its just not as many ppl would come 2 the showing maybe...

I definitely think that it's a bad idea putting it on the same day as Japsoc as that is definitely splitting the potential membership (mixed socials are good, but they need to be able to attend the showings too!). Also about the sound - the speakers do work, and when it's linked up right the sound is really good! I was told that all staff would be taught how to do it, so hopefully next year someone will know and will pass it on to us! Also Glen - I've viewed but not voted, as I won't be here next year, so it would be unfair |

Ash - we could always speak to japsoc and see if they want to do a fortnightly/monthly social with us at japanic on a tuesday so you can make at least some properlly!!... Perhaps?? As lizzie said, mixed socials are gooood...

Just a thought for Ash and the committee - if you are not going to be able to be there every week then I suggest you find a second Social Sec so that there is always someone there to get the job done. As Chris says, otherwise people will just mooch around and then bugger off.

I reckon Steven would make a good deputy social sec, hes allready very good at getting people to sit down, Im sure he wouldnt find it too hard to add getting people to go down the pub to his repertoire

Pretty conclusive so I guess it looks like we will try to continue with our thursday evenings in the future!

which means i have to get up uber uber early and look presentable! ergh! and i have a committe meeting every thurs nite for another society which i keep cutting short (and i also might start going 2 medics hockey practice if i have thurs evening free)
