Newcastle trip
EdG&R are going on an overnight trip to Newcastle at the end of term, where we're meeting up with the Newcastle Uni rock society and visiting some of the local rock clubs.
More details are on the forum.
Punk Off
Okay here it is;
Punk Off is on the 28th November at Bannermans pub.
There will be two bands on;
Sad Society (http://www.myspace.com/sadsociety)
supported by Billy Liar (http://www.myspace.com/billyliarmusic)
It is £4 on the door or £3 for Edgar members. All proceeds go to Shelter Scotland :)
Come along to support the local music scene, or to support edgar, or Shelter or just because you like beer. It will be fun.
Halloween and November
We'll be celebrating Hallowe'en in spectacular style this year, with Horror-punk band Zombina & the Skeletones + support performing live on the 27th November. Tickets are a mere £5 from Ripping Records, South Bridge. Psyche Out are looking to you for costume suggestions - post your ideas on the forum.
*Event info*
On Hallowe'en itself, we will be in the Auld Hoose with an array of competitions including our Annual Pumpkin Carving Competition. If that's not enough to tempt you, Edg&r members get a fabulous 20% off food too! Costumes encouraged :D
*Event info*
November sees us teaming up with Jack Daniels to offer a Battle of the Bands with an awesome prize for the winner. All interested bands should send a MySpace link (or other page where your music can be heard) to guybeardsall @ rock.com, and the actual event itself will be on the 27th November in Teviot.
*Event info*
Also during November we will be running two DJ Practice sessions for any members who wish to learn to use the decks or who just want to freshen up their skills. Please let Kate know if you are interested, or reply on our forum. They will be held from 2pm-5pm on both Wednesday 21st and Friday 23rd.
We're also happy to announce Friday Night Goth Shite - a new regular night starting on Friday 2nd November in the Tron Sub-basement, affiliated with Edg&r. Check their website to sign up for updates and a free drink!
And as usual, our regular clubs will be running - including Cyberia tonight at 10pm. Check the Events page for all upcoming dates.
Freshers Week '07 - 10th September
Freshers' Week is fast approaching, and we have many exciting events lined up. We're also in need of willing hands to help us with flyering and running the stall during the Societies Fair. If you want to help out, get in touch via email or on our forum!
The week's plan:
+ Monday & Tuesday: Flyering, followed by drinks & food in the Auld Hoose. 10am-4pm.
+ Wednesday & Thursday: Societies Fair & flyering, again followed by food & drinks in the Hoose. 10am-4pm again.
+ Friday: Come to the Auld Hoose at 12 for chilli followed by bowling at 2pm. There are only 20 spaces, so register interest on the forum. Gathering again in the Hoose at 7pm ready for the Freshers' Party at 9pm in Teviot Underground. See event page for more info.
+ Saturday: Meet at 7 at the Auld Hoose, for food and a trip to Retribution at Studio24.
+ Sunday: Alternative Music Quiz at 7pm in the Pentland Room of Pleasance - with free booze!
Keep an eye on the calendar and news as we confirm times and meeting places.
New website!
The new EdG&R website's finally up and running! As well as the new design, it features a news system and an events calendar, so you can keep up with what's going on more easily. There's also a nice new image gallery (based on our Flickr group), and of course all the information you need to know about the society. Between being on new hosts and the fact that all the committee members can update the site, you can expect much more regular updates and better reliability.
It's not over yet though... next I plan on moving the forums and integrating them with the new site, and probably adding new features as time goes by.
The new address of the site is edgarsoc.com, but it'll still be accessible through the old one (I'll set up a redirect soon).
Enjoy!
