[CompSoc-News] Skynet Appeal

[compsoc-news at skynet.ie]

Members,
I am writing to you appealling for your assistance in helping to save
the society. As you may or may not know for the last year or two
membership of the society has been dropping and for the most part our
own apathy has been the largest contributor to this. Despite the efforts
of our admin team and committee we have seen little interest from our
members in doing anything with the society this year. We are trying our
best to encourage people to join the society, take part in events and
learn from the society but there is only so far we can go with that.

So it comes to this, I am appealing to you the ordinary members of the
society for help. Skynet needs new members from the undergraduate
population particularly, but generally from the campus population in its
entirety. We need you to come to the fore and help out with events, to
take part in them and to make a decent effort in getting things running.
It is through these events and activities that we can entice new people
to join the society and broaden our skill base and have some fun with
computers.

There are a number of events that we are trying to organise;
A LAN party; Where people bring there computers and play computer games
for a set period of time and possibly compete for prizes
A Quiz; to raise money for the society.
The Skynet Talks; On the 25th of February.

We also need your help designing promotional material for the society,
your ideas and cunning plans! If you have friends in local industries
that could sponsor us that would be brilliant too. The bottom line is
that we need your help in any way, shape or form.

For those of you that do help in any way I offer you my thanks and would
like to mention that the society appreciates it. You would be
contributing to something that I hope will exist as long as U.L. itself
exists. So please think on what I have said here and feel free to
contact me. After all it is your society too and it is in your hands
that I place its future. You need to decide do you want to be part of a
successful society that is the envy of others nationwide or be part of
something that had potential but died through member apathy. The choice
is yours.

Regards,
Daniel A. Nagle
