Hello!
This should be a short one this week. The committee are meeting on
Tuesday (tomorrow) from 8pm this week, but anyone is welcome to come
along if they wish to chat, get involved, or pick up their membership
cards. We'll be meeting in the McEwan Ale House, on Nicolson
Street/St. Patrick Square, quite close to the new Palmyra. This place
may potentially become our permanent meeting place, so come along and
check it out. Any new members, up to and including members who paid
last Tuesday, will have membership cards ready and waiting for them,
so come along and pick them up!
If any bands are interested in competing, then there's a Battle of the

Well done, you've made it to Untapped Talent!
We'll be announcing meeting dates on Friday afternoon, both here and through the mailing list. If you haven't signed up as a member, or just joined the mailing list, then come along to the second day of the Societies Fair tomorrow (Thursday 17th) and we'll get you sorted.
Now, the important question:
How do I get access to the practice room?
I've now removed everyone's access to the practice room booking form for the time being. You'll need to send an e-mail to untappedtalent AT gmail DOT com with the following details:
Full Name
Username on the Forums
Matriculation Number
Mobile Phone Number*
Then, if our records show that you've paid, someone will give you permission to access the slot booking system. You'll see a 'Practice Room Booking' link appear at the top of your screen when you have permission.
Users are only permitted one slot at a time.
*Mobile phone numbers are required for us to contact you in the event that you forget to return the keys to the practice room, or should unforeseen circumstances require us to cancel the slot. These phone numbers will be removed from our records next September.

EUSA Societies Oscars
by
Andrew
|
Untapped Talent have been named 'Best Revamped Society' at this years society oscars. As many of you may know, at the end of last year the society was preparing to fold. A few of stepped in and built the society back up, and put the most important people first - it's members. We love you guys.
We were up against some good societies last night - Geo Soc, Islamic Soc and Invisible Children - so we were really surprised to win! Alongside our Oscar Statue, we also won £100 to spend on anything we want - get in touch if you have any suggestions!
Finally, I'd just like to thank all the people who put hard work into making this society great again. Ben, Steve, Steve, Mike and Ruairidh - the committee have worked extra hard this year to make this society as great as it has been since 1991, bringing you some amazing gigs, and keeping the practice room running. And it's not over yet! We have close to £800 to spend on upgrading our practice room and a wicked Battle of the Bands coming up in a couple of months. We also have an interview with Student newspaper coming up in the next few weeks - so keep an eye out for that!

Practice Room News
by
Andrew
|
|
Dear Patrons,
For the foreseeable future, the practice room will not be available on Monday or Wednesday. This is due to a dancing society booking the room on these days.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result. Our practice room man - the ever-enthused Ben Collier - is making millions of phone calls and letters as we speak to arrange a better deal for us with EUSA.
If anyone has anything they want to ask, don't hesitate to get in touch with a member of the committee!

Please look after them! Don't go mental on them straight away!
To celebrate the arrival of the cymbals, here is a baby playing drums:
