"Woe to you oh earth and sea, for the devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short. Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number. Its number is six hundred and sixty six..." - Iron Maiden, The Number Of The Beast.

Welcome to the world of rock music, with its many incarnations, from the thunderous assaults of metal to the happy-go-lucky melodies of punk and ska... oh, if you were looking for the geology society, by now you probably have figured you are in the wrong place... try here instead. If not, read on...

End of Year Tidy Up

Posted June 2nd, 2009

Aloha Rock Soc!

We all hope that your exams either went well or are blissfully over, setting you free for a summer of (responsible) debauchery, drinking and partying. But before you disappear off into the ether of the glorious British summertime (we know it won’t last) we have one more treat in store for you!

We're going to Hull this semester for a night out in Spiders nightclub. Spiders is a nightclub catering to the Rock and Metal community on an industrial estate!
Word on the street is that it's well worth a visit. Photos of Kenny from the trip three years ago say so too! He was asleep in the aisle of the coach, trashed!

Spiders is across 3 floors.
Bottom floor - Ska, Punk, Indie.
Middle Floor - Metal.
Top floor - 60's, 70's, 80's & some 90's Rock!

AGM, Party, Trip and THE FUTURE

Posted March 17th, 2009

Alas! Alack! ‘Ello! This shall be the last newsletter you shall officially receive from this present committee! As of tomorrow, 7pm in Meeting Room 3 in the Arc, you the people shall vote in your new leaders, and we who have worked so hard for you all this past year shall be cast aside into the metaphorical scrap heap of graduate ex-members. Not that we’re bitter or anything.
There’s a couple of bits to mention before then though, so here it is:

• Thanks for the Ball
• AGM – Tomorrow Wednesday March 18th – The Arc, Meeting Room 3 – 7pm

Corrosion, Ball, AGM... and pleas for help!

Posted March 8th, 2009

Greetings rock children! Welcome to one of the last few newsletters you shall receive from this particular committee! I say last few, no doubt we’ll badger you with some other stuff before we disappear, I’m just feeling sentimental. Here’s what we’ve got going on. Or even gwaning, as the more ghetto fabulous members of my old school used to say:

• Corrosion - This Wednesday 11th - 9pm, The Subculture

• The Ball – Saturday 14th – 7pm, Crowne Plaza Hotel

• AGM – Wednesday 18th – 7pm, Meeting Room 3 in the Arc

Ball Tickets!

Posted February 16th, 2009

Firstly, thanks to everyone who's already paid their money for the ball. You lot are ace you are.

For the rest of you, we know there have been several people who have said they'd struggle to pay for it all at once, this is quite understandable, we're students, £32 is practically millions. Worry not though! We may have an answer!

If you'd struggle to part with £32 in one go, come talk to us in Old Bar (12-2 by the pizza place) this week. Pay us £10 by way of a deposit, and stick around for a chat, we'll sort out a time or arrangement for you to pay the rest in a way you can afford.
