So with the end of 2009 also comes the end of an era, with us saying goodbye to a few long serving executives (jyrds, Jay & mekky). But that also means that we have a fairly new executive team! We want to be the very best, like no one ever was. Over the last few months we’ve been hard at work getting ready for the new year. Any of those rumours about us playing games, drinking and excessively sleeping are entirely untrue!

*ahem*

During the holidays, we’ve had some brainstorming sessions and laid out some plans for the new year. Of course, these meetings happened over karaoke and japanese food, so no one really wrote anything down. But recalling from memory, here’s a few things we’d agreed upon:

• New Website – which includes a new anime@uts blog!
• New Weekly Events – such as dinner nights and theme nights (Maybe a boku no pico night just for Seakas)
• More merch
• More eatouts!

At least some of us are working…

The AnimeSydney Card will also be returning this year, which will give you discounts at a variety of places like Passionflower and Norita!

If you don’t want to fall behind on the happenings of the anime club, come join us on IRC, join our Facebook page or follow our Twitter account (which I promise I’ll update more). Also, if you’re a newbie just about to start Uni, UTS’s Oday is on the 24th of February, so come by and join us at our stall!

We recently had our AGM and voted in a new executive team! Here are the results:

President – Dom (Sleet)
Vice President – David (Syksy)
Treasurer – Dennis
Secretary – Izzy
Events Coordinator – Linda (Tsu)
Art Director – Will (Wonka)
Webmaster – soap
Screenings Director – yappa
Photographer – Alan (Bubby/Bambi)

Thanks to all out going execs for your hardwork! And to everyone else, please look forward to the new things we have planned for the next year!

Howdy everybody!

Firstly, welcome to the anime club! It’s always an exciting time of year, with new blood in the club. We hope to see you new people at our events and screenings throughout this year, so come along and get to know some new people.

Just a few quick links:

Our forums:

http://www.animesydney.org/forum/index.php

You’ll find the most upto date news and information about the club there (yeah, we tend to forget this website sometimes -_-’). Also, its a great place to meet and get to know other people in not just the UTS anime club, but in all of Sydney. If you have any questions, just post on the forums or send a PM to Sleet and I’ll try and get back to you ASAP. So I suggest you pop on over and join.

Facebook

Group Page (cause the link was too long, it broke the design scheme :p)

Join the Facebook group to get invites to events and any club updates through facebook.

IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

For those who haven’t used IRC before: http://www.animesydney.org/forum/index.php/topic,5753.0.html
For experts: Server – Rizon , Channel – #anime@uts

IRC is where you can chat directly to the club members. Its probably the best way (apart from coming to events and such) to get to know people in the club. There are conversations about anime, gaming, some of the weirder things on the internet and just life in general (also a nice way to ask about anything to do with the uni). So come along and have a chat with us. Note – If you join and no one is talking, just wait a little or try to start a conversation. We’re all friendly people, but sometimes we’re busy (like watching anime) and not looking at our chat windows.

Anyway, if you have any further questions, just email secretary@utsanime.net and I’ll try and get back to you asap!

Hope to see you soon!
