As exams are coming to an end, it’s time to announce our spring 2011 socials.
You can find the list here on the website, on our CampusGroups info or download the hand-dandy PDF file and print it out for easy reference.
More specific details about each social will be sent to you in emails and put in Facebook events. We look forward to seeing you this semester!

We’re still gripped in the winter chill, so it seems like the perfect time to bring back a few warm memories of the Yule Ball. The committee would like to thank everyone for coming – we hope you had a fantastic night. And we especially want to thank Alex for making it all possible!

The Secret Elf Exchange is our version of a Secret Santa exchange, only with a little less faffing around. But still a little bit of organisation and forethought are needed. So…
Basically, you come to the social with a gift all wrapped up. We then have some way of muddling up all the gifts. Everyone picks out a random gift. Fun is had by all.
To put it simply, if you bring a gift, you get a gift. Easy!
We’ve set an ideal budget of £3 – you can buy or make whatever you want. If you want to spend more money, go for it, but we’ve found £3 to be a good average.
Any questions? Ask away!

Dave Night gets its name from the TV channel of the same name. Pretty simple, really.
Charlotte, Sam and Bethan have prepared an HP themed ‘Would I Lie to You?’ involving a series of statements (including a few props, we’re told!) that are all made up – but some are more fictional than others.
There might also be a few other games and, naturally, we’ll all head over the Central Bar later.

This week we’re hosting our second pub crawl of the season and this time we’re going all out for a spooky themed Inferi crawl to celebrate the coming release of the film! Points will be given to the best costume though it shouldn’t be hard or expensive, just try to look as dead as you can! Being the students that we are, looking dead is pretty much a constant state. If you don’t fancy dressing up, don’t panic, just remember where your towel is (a.k.a it’s not compulsory). We’ll be starting at Central Bar at 7.30 and continuing from there.
This social is brought to you by the letter Z for zombie and the numbers 7 and 42.
P.S. We are still taking money for the Yule Ball so any of you who still want to buy a ticket should bring in the money and give it to either Alex or Sam.

So, it’s time for our first task in the Triwizard Tournament. This year, the task will be taking place on Sunday 7th November in Bute Park (the one behind the castle). We’re going to be meeting outside the front of the Union, at 11.00 am, after which we will all head down to the park and begin the hunt for the dragons! There will be four dragons, one for each house. Each house needs to find their specific dragon, and solve the riddle hidden within the golden egg. Once they have solved the riddle, they will return to the designated meeting point (which we will tell you on the day). The first house to the meeting point wins!
Now, there are going to be some rules for this. Firstly, this is essentially a game of hide and seek. We don’t want anyone getting hurt because they were being chased or chasing a dragon. If anyone hurts one of the dragons due to excessive force being used, points will be removed from their house. We have also worked very hard on the eggs for this game, and would appreciate it if you could not damage them, as some people wish to keep them.
Secondly, the dragon assigned to each house will not be from that house. This is an attempt to eliminate any cheating from the dragons on behalf of their house. If we find out that any dragon has refused to hand over their egg to the rightful house, points will be removed from said dragon.
Hope to see you there,
HP Soc
