Battle of the Parties will be in the GMB!

WHAT IS IT?
Battle of the parties will see all the student party political organisations pitted against one another to try to convince YOU to join their party. Each party will have one speaker and five minutes to present their case as to why YOU should join their party. After all eight parties have gone, there will be 30 minutes for the audience to provide questions for any or all of the parties.

WHEN IS IT?
From between 5pm and 6:30 TONIGHT!

Starting at 5pm sharp and capacity is limited. In order to comply with COVID protocols we ask everyone in attendance to comply with the following:

• Wait outside the GMB before the event starts and only enter once you have had your vaccine certificate checked. We will start getting people seated five to ten minutes before the event starts. For contact tracing purposes, we will need your name and email and ask that you be a member of at least one of the political parties or PolSoc. If you haven’t joined already, you will be allowed to sign up at the door too.
• Once you have been signed in, we will direct you to where we you will sit. Due to COVID guidelines we are advised to fill the furthest seats away from the speakers first and the nearest last. Masks are mandatory within the chamber except when people are making their speeches.
• At the end of the event, we ask that those closest to the door leave first and we ask that at the end of the event everyone can leave the GMB building right away as the Phil need the space later in the evening and we must clean the surfaces down before they arrive.

We are delighted to announce that PolSoc has a partnership for the term with thesehandscoffee -- 10% off all semester with an extra bonus on Tuesdays for our coffee hours. These Hands is located at the corner of St Stephen’s Green, beside the Well and across the road from the Luas stop.

This week we will be meeting at These Hands for our coffee hour, Caffeinated Conversations, which occurs between 12 and 1 every Tuesday! After picking up our coffee we will head across to St Stephen’s Green to chat and drink our coffee.

We’d love to see as many Freshers as possible to welcome you all to the society. The atmosphere at CC is pretty chill and there are always political and non political discussions going simultaneously in case an hour with politics students sounds too daunting.

If you are having any trouble finding us let us know!

A big welcome to our incoming First Years! PolSoc has a number of events lined up for the week for Freshers, Erasmus students, and old-timers alike. Get your tickets for tomorrow night at 8 in Mother Reilly's beer garden for our annual quiz night with the Historical Society. Links to tickets can be found on the event page for the quiz. Tuesday at noon, we're meeting at These Hands (our coffee partner for the year!) across from St. Stephen's Green to kick off Caffeinated Conversations. Later Tuesday at 5, we'll be welcoming back Battle of the Parties where students are invited to a debate between Trinity's student political organizations with time for audience questions. Wednesday at 5 we will be welcoming Abdul Ghafoor with the Society for International Affairs (SOFIA) over Zoom to discuss the political landscape of Afghanistan. On Friday, we'll wrap up the week with a politically-focused walking tour of Dublin with optional pints after. Excited to see lots of new faces, and welcome to Trinity!
