Shits kicking off, come join us to decide the future of Cardiff Gaming Society or just play some gawd damn computer games.

We're gonna be chillin' out, maxing relaxing all cool at V-Sync pretty much all day, when its decided that enough people have turned up we'll do some AGM stuff then go back to computer games.

We'll get some tournies rolling so you can prove your gaming prowess and all that jazz, probably in your typical CoD and Halo shooters.

Likely to be some pizza chucked in there at some point as well, and if we get on well enough we could even play some more games on Saturday :O

So turn up, chill out, make some pleasant conversation and shoot each other ... or else...

Hawwo!

It approaches that of year that societies must do paperwork, rebirth next academic year. With that we must also talk about boring meetings like AGMs. We need an AGM to decide who will be running the society next year.

But before we get to the AGM we will need to find some candidates, their roles the next year's planned direction, and anything else relating to next year. So we are having a pre-AGM. The plan is to have the preAGM Wednesday 12th May 5PM, @ Woodville – If its full or there is a function we don't know about then we will just move on elsewhere.

Then following the preAGM we will have an event at the end of the month with the AGM included. Event ideas will be accepted after the preAGM.

P.S.

Here is a brief description of some of the roles available. This is a jumping off point, they can be tweaked and adjusted if it better meets the new committee as a whole. If you are interested, it would be advisable to have a couple of additional hours a week free for a weekly committee meetings.

President – CEO and manager of society; you make shit get done.

Vice President – Presidents aid, generally merged with treasurer.

Treasurer – You record how much monies the society has, and then dispense monies when needed.

Secretary – You go to every meeting, take notes and then write them up.

Publicity & Publications Officer – You make posters and distribute them, as well as spamming people with news.

Social manager – You plan the getting drunk, going out and having fun without the technology.

Event manager – You plan the gaming events
I could ideally see this job being split into 2 jobs (one for PC, one for console), but that would be based on candidate availability.

Web manager – You look after the website

Driver – You drive around carrying equipment for events.

Edit:
Forgot to put time

What is LeachLAN?
Being a social LAN, LeachLAN 5 is a great place to meet up with friends and chill out over a weekend with some fun, relaxing gaming. Open up some of the old classics, such as Mid Town Madness 2 and Red Alert 2 - but do not think that more recent games will be left untouched as more recent games such as Left 4 Dead 2 and DiRT 2 will also be played. Being on a LAN also allows for a lot of larger games and there is no better experience than taking part in big games like SourceForts, Armagetron or a bit of UT2004 which will be organised throughout the weekend.

For the competitive gamer there will also be a number of tournaments, where you can play against fellow attendees for the chance of LAN Glory. You could also win a few prizes along the way! The tournaments will be chosen by attendees of the event using our usual polling system on the forums to ensure you get the games you would like to play!

On the social side of things, there will be a FREE BBQ, the return of the PUB QUIZ and the opportunity to test out your backstabbing skills in our weekend long game of assassination! Join us for a party in celebration of two years of LeachLAN. Or you can chillout with your mates in in our social gaming area. There will also be many more opportunities to socialise with fellow gamers over the weekend!

Bring a newb?
You may have heard about our new bring a newb scheme that we introduced at LeachLAN 4, which allows anyone who is signed up and paid for LeachLAN 5, to bring a friend who has not been before, for a fiver! It proved to be a great success, and has returned for this event!

There are 10 "newb spaces" for this event, and they are available on a first come, first served basis! To find out more about "bring a newb", please see the LeachLAN 5 bring a newb post! As we're beginning to accept newb bookings using the same way!

How much?
The event itself costs £40 for a BYOC space if you book before 1st June, and will be £50 thereafter
