Take a look at the Launchpad 2020 Schedule to decide what you might like to attend. We'd love you to come along to as many talks, panels and hangouts as you can. It's such a great way to get to know what to expect at Maynooth and what supports are available. Say hi to our MAP Ambassadors, who are current MU students on every call to support you every step of the way to get settled in and give you their tips for success. 

Access, Comedy and Cuallacht are all coming together on Wednesday 24th February to get you to help us out help you out with what we're you're struggling with so much!! And what's that you ask? Absolutely everything Pick up lines!

We have a huge week planned out for the return of semester 2! Our inclusion and involvement week is centred about getting right back to the high spirits and good vibes the Access Society is all about! 

Monday - return to Maynooth meet up in JH2 at 6:30 

Tuesday - Creative Coffee with Mental Health society in SU meeting room 3/4 from 10-12 

Wednesday - Reunion Map my Way in Phoenix Boardroom from 12-2 

Thursday - Karaoke with Karaoke Society in the SU venue at 7

Make sure to come and get involved with these amazing societies and start your semester off the best way possible!!!! 

Starting at the SU Venue at 6pm, leaving the SU Venue at 7pm.  We will then be heading into Maynooth town as a group to visit all the pubs in Maynooth who have been pre-notified by committee members of the event.  The Route will be SU Venue, Roost, Duke and Coachman, Brady's, McMahons, then Roost.  A small mini-game/challenge will be played in each pub with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.  If the group is too large, we will split into two groups and go to separate pubs.  

The challenges are pre-decided.  They are Kahoot (wrong answer = you drink), Psyche - drinking game (Take a sip if you get no points and if you have the funniest answer, then sip for each person who picked your answer),  Laugh your drink (Exclusive to this pub), Quizmaster, find a friend (person drinking the same drink as you)

Drinking games are clearly just an option to have a laugh, if a person feels like they've had enough, then they can stop.  if it appears that an individual has drank too much they should be advised by all present to drink water instead instead of alcohol and to take it easy.

We want all pub crawlers to arrive safely in the Roost at the end.  This will be the end of the pub crawl.  

Maynooth Game show will be run in support of Ataxia Foundation Ireland (Charity of the Year), and all proceeds will go towards this charity.  It will be a collab event with Access, Lit n Deb, Games, Criminology, Drama, Rovers, Cuallacht and Polsoc, all of which will be working together to deliver this night of fun.  It is to be held in the SU and promises to be a night of laughs and rivalry.  Join us for some of the best clubs and societies Maynooth has on offer in supporting our charity of the year.  Each society will be running their own round to give you an all round experience on the night.  Entry will be €2 and there will be a raffle held during the event!
