Week 12 Newsletter 2018/2019

Big thanks to everyone who came down to LAN yesterday. Another success!!! Also thank you to everyone who took part in our events organised by our brilliant Engagement Officers. We have two more LANs this term; 9th of Feburay (week 14) and the 9th of March (week 18).

Week 12 Socials and Events

  • COUNTY BAR SOCIAL on Tuesday at 8pm as usual. Let an exec know if you want anything different from the normal stuff we bring along.
  • SMASH WEEKLIES on Wednesday this week in Bowland North Seminar Room 21 from 6pm – 10pm

Pendle Rooms Rockband

Just another reminder that we are hosting 3 Rockband events this term in Pendle Rooms, Wednesday 7pm in Weeks 3,6,9. It’s always a blast so be sure to come down.

AGM Week 18

It’s Lent term so that means our AGM will be coming up towards the end of term. This is where we have our annual exec changeover. Every position will be up for grabs (note we may change the structure of the exec before then). Nominations will open in week 14. It’s a great way to get as involved in the Society and help make it the best society in Lancaster.

NSE Fifa Championship

This Spring, the NSE will be hosting a Fifa Championship. If you want to represent Lancaster Uni in Fifa then be sure to talk to top Esports Coordinator Josh and he’ll be able to help you. For more information on the Championship, see NSE’s website.

LUGES Hoodie

Have you seen other members in the society wearing one of those swanky LUGES branded hoodies? Well there not just for the exec, you can get your very own!!! For now, they will still be pullover hoodies, but we are working on getting zip hoodies. You can place your order on our website here.

Community and Esports Representives

If you would like to get involved in a specific game/genre for the society and be the first point of contact for everything regarding it then be sure to get involved! If you’re interest in becoming an Esports Rep then be sure to talk to one of our Esports Coordinators. If you are more interested in becoming the Rep for something else then talk to our Community officer James. 

For a full list of our current reps see our website. See something is missing a rep? Then be sure to contact us and we can appoint you.
