The only reason I go into the QM is to buy water from the shop.

A bit of a silly question, but where do you go to become a member of the QM and GU? :o:

I haven't joined them either but i think to join the QMU you have to go upstairs in the General Office - just take the lift to the third floor. Not sure about the GUU though.

Go to the Porter's Box next to the shop for the GU. Not sure about the QM tbh.
You can only join one though anyway.

of course
Apparently its harder to join the GU after the QM than the QM after the GU. Something to do with the QM not really giving a ****!

I joined the GUU, today and handed in the form but the guy just gave me a Temporary Membership Slip. :confused:

Does the membership card come in the post and what's the point in giving me the slip? Sorry for the silly questions. :o:

So you can still get into the GU without your card.
From what I can remember your pick your membership card up from the Porters Box.

I doubt they'll contact you, you'll probably have to keep checking at the GUU until it's ready.

Jeez how many times have I heard this!
You can join both unions because
1) The QM have nothing in their constitution about it
2) The GUU do, officially you revoke your GUU membership if you join the QM

but...
The member lists are not exhanged, so they wont find out
and
even if they do, the GUU wont do anything because then they lose a member.

Also you join the QM in the general office on the 3rd floor, the GU at the porters box.

No. I think you just have to wait a few days and then go and see if it's there.

I'm pretty sure the unions will never close down. The profit made by the uni by having 2 unions probably far outweighs the money lost from the unions themselves.

Anyway, who would go to a unionless university?

Who else is fired up for Daft Friday 2008 ohhhhh yeaaaah

12 hour Cheesy Pop, definitely.

£30 to get into the GU? Not bloody likely.

Same. Did it in 1st year - it's worth doing once just for the experience, but £30 + tux + drinks is just too much considering my current financial position and the fact I have a compulsory field trip at easter that's going to cost at least £150 :s-smilie:

Anyone go to Alphabeat last night?

Hey guys! I used to post all the time on the freshers/2008 applicants threads but I kinda lost touch with TSR when I got here! I'm Stacey, I live in Murano and I take English Lit, Economic and Social History and History at the moment. Feeling a bit sick at the thought of having to actually do work for these silly exam things...and! Im going home before Daft Friday...I'll hopefully go next year :smile:
