Hey everyone,

Final details for Amsterdam will be finalised Wednesday 2nd at the Pack Horse – 7pm – 9pm.

We’ll be sorting out coaches and sleeping arrangements, so it’s important that you attend!

We might turn it into a little social too, so drop by after 9pm for a few drinks with everyone

The Committee

The Halloween Fancy Dress Social is tomorrow. Hopefully you’re all aware of it from the Facebook group, but here’s a brief outline of the event:

9pm Start at the Library Pub (Near Milanos/Engineering Buildings)

There’s going to be a nice sizeable bar tab there, but when it’s gone its gone.

From this, we’ll be moving onto Fruity at the Union – those of you who have been before will know this is an amazing night.

Tickets are only £5 for access to the bar tab AND entry to Fruity, so get involved.

Tickets are on sale again in the UG Common room 12-3, and if there are any left, on the door at the Library pub also. Prizes will be awarded for the Best Dressed, so make an effort!

Lots of Love,

The Committee

Hi all,

Your booksale money can be collected from the Union Cash Office, simply present your ID and you can get the money over the counter. If you want your unsold books back, get in touch with us via the contact form.

It’s that time of the year when you can all offload your old books and get some quality second hand bargains.

The book sale will run from 12pm – 3pm on Monday 4th October, but get down to the UG Common room easly as it’s sure to be busy!!

If you’re looking to drop off any books to sell, bring them in today or tomorrow (29th) with your desired price!

The Committee

We’re now only hours away from revealing our sponsors. We’re really excited about it!

The Society will be selling hoodies this year, so hold back on some of that loan you’re all getting in a week, so that you can fill out your wardrobe with essential clothing!

If you’ve got any questions about this, feel free to get in touch

Hi all, just wanted to post these links here for you all to enjoy! Amsterdam is all booked up, and you can start boking now!

Only a £40 deposit is needed – the remainder can be paid in installments through the Outgoing booking website – and the final installment can be paid with your January loan if need be.

It’s a perfect way to end January exams before you have to start revising for the end of the year, and it’s worked so well in the past.

It’s going to be a weekend to remember, so click on this link: LUBS DAM Weekender Booking Info

Well done to those of you who have been successful in securing your place at Leeds, and in particular Leeds University Business School!

We’ve seen a rise in the traffic on this site, so we wanted to remind you all of a few important links:

• Join the LUBS Society
• Join us on Facebook

Freshers is only a couple of weeks away; if you have any questions feel free to email us or write to us on Facebook

The Committee

Time is upon us to start thinking about our Welcome Party for Fresher’s 2010! Last year was an amazing success, with Vodka Revs hosting us from early evening as our ‘pre-bar’. Everyone got to enjoy themselves, and tensions were dropped in the social atmosphere. (I guess the £2000+ bar tab helped to some extent!)

We then moved on to a night called the Vodka Project at Oceana, with Queue jump entry, which worked nicely.

We are planning on doing things a little differently this year, but the general framework of the night will be staying the same due last year being such a huge success. The date is set for Wednesday the 29th of September, starting around 8:30pm at Vodka Revs (Millennium Square). Upon entry you will be given a wristband which entitles you to spend money from our bar tab – entry will be by prepaid tickets, available all throughout Fresher’s up until the night. Tickets are priced at £6, which includes entry toVodka Revs, Bar Tab wristband and Club Queue Jump Entrance ticket. Keep an eye on this page and the Facebook group for details of when they’re on sale!

Ok, so details are still to be confirmed, however we are booked onto our 2010-2011 LUBS Society Holiday through our Holiday company Outgoing Student Travel.

A view of the River that runs through Amsterdam

We will be travelling via coach overnight to the city of culture known as Amsterdam – a popular student holiday destination. The long weekend should be enough to allow us all to chill out a little after January exams and to soak up a little culture.

The dates are Thursday 3rd February – Sunday 6th February, and bookings are opening soon! Outgoing have an online payment system which allows small installments to be paid off in stages. (The final payments can be after your January loan payment, so don’t worry!)

Last year the trip was amazing, everyone on it had a great time, and there were plenty of new friendships made because of it. The holiday costs £119, and is completely worth it. There are additional extras that can be added, such as holiday tee’s and hoodies, which cost a little on top of that.

I’ll be in touch when we know more.
