Surf-ism
Hey, if you don't already know, there's a couple of UU surfers competing in the Surfing World Games this weekend. One of them, Shauna Ward, is having a benefit gig tonight in Sandinos in Derry. There's a few of us likely to be heading and it's for it good cause so if your interested in heading send an email round or leave a message (with your phone number) on the message board and one of us should hopefully pick it up and get in touch about lifts.
Surf-ism
“Irish surfing is still an emerging and largely amateur sport, and so Irish team members must find their own way to compete at the Worlds. Here in town, local surfers are getting together to do our bit. We have organised a surf benefit called Surf-ism, to help Magee student, Shauna Ward, get to Huntington. Most people love the look and feel of surfing, and so we are planning a night of acoustic music and amazing surf visuals to give her a big send off. Everyone is welcome to Surf-ism on Tuesday 10th October upstairs in Sandinos in Water St. Derry’s finest, Keith “Jack Johnson” will play a live set, and DJs will battle it out head to head into the wee small hours with a few thumping disco and motown sets.”

How to Join, Nite out, Swim test
Nite Out
In case any of ye's don't know all the watersports clubs are meeting up for drinks in Bar7 tonight (Thursday 5th) at 9pm.
Swim Test
There's also a swim test on tonight, 8:15 to 9pm at Coleraine Leisure Centre. If you want to join a watersports club you have to do one before you can go out. It's dead easy- a 50m swim with no time limit. Martin has said that if anyone can do the whole 50m underwater he will buy them a drink tonight, which is very generous I think, so I would encourage you all to turn up to try it.
How to join
A lot of people have been asking about how to join the surf club. It's pretty straight forward, you just make your way to the sports centre (it's behind the students union), then it's 10pounds to join the sports centre (if you're not already a member), and a further tenner to join the sports union/surf club. If you're a member of any other sports union club (sailing, karate...) it's actually only three pounds to join the surf club. And likewise if you're a member of the surf club, then it's only three pounds to join any other club.
Hope to see you at the swim test/bar tonight.
