After a delayed City and Guilds College Union election due to a badministrative error, a new AeroSoc committee has been elected to lead the society to further greatness next year.

After some intensely fierce competition, the following stormed to victory and will take on their new committee roles alongside their Part III studies next year:

AeroSoc Chair: Nikhil Chandaria
AeroSoc Treasurer: Craig Mcpherson
AeroSoc Secretary: Laurence Lai

And on the academic side of things, Benjamin Stubbens will take on the responsibilities of the Aeronautics department representative.

AeroSoc Pro Evo Tournament

The evening of Monday 25th February saw the advent of the first Pro Evolution Soccer tournament hosted by AeroSoc. A dozen-or-so wiley competitors made their way to the Roderick Hall lecture theatres for the opportunity to win just under �20 doing what they'd probably be doing anyway! Two PlayStation2s had been rigged to the rooms' audio/visual systems to provide students with a break from slides about compressibility and bypass cycles.

The tournament format consisted of a number of league groups; players in each group getting to play at least two games each. The top players from these groups would…

AeroSoc Poker Night

On Tuesday 19th Feb the Aero Common Room was once again taken over by the AeroSoc massive for the second hotly contested AeroSoc Poker Night of the year.

A good attendance was again dominated by 3rd year amateurs and people pondered about how rubbish the second years must be that they're just too scared to even turn up.

The evening began casually with a few drinks and some complimentary snacks laid on. The real action got started at about 6.30 with 3 tables of 8 players each. Re-buys were aplenty in the early minutes as alcohol-fuelled self-confidence boiled over. For…

AeroSoc trip to Airbus in Filton 6th Feb 2008.

The day started with another hot cup of coffee and some tired-looking baggy eyes. Devang was actually early for the first time and with no Materials slackers to dilute the gene pool everyone was on time and at 07:40 the race began: Paul and Owen, head to head on their way to Bristol. The journey was sunny, bright and southern - in stark contrast to the journey to Derby on the previous AeroSoc trip which was cold, dark and northern.

On arrival at Airbus in Filton, students were immediately impressed to find an ex-British Airways Concorde sitting aside the…

Aerosoc Pancakes

Yet another huge success, the pancakes went down a storm with the Aero faithful and even managed to attract some outsiders, navigating the salubrious route to the common room. Special thanks go to Sam, for the organisation, Tom for the flipping skills and Chris and Paul for managing the money.

On another note, Food Fridays are set to make a comeback so get in touch with ideas about where to go and look out for news of forthcoming Poker night, Pro Evo night and much much more.

A good mix of students from Materials and Aero enjoyed a highly interesting day touring the vast Rolls Royce civil aerospace site in Derby. There were presentations, tours and chances to chat with current graduates. Just another example of what Aerosoc can do for you.

"I'm-a-coming! Pizza Hut is going out of business!"

Friday 26th November saw the commencement of the 2nd annual Pizza Hut Buffet Challenge in High St. Kensington. At 12pm around twenty-five plucky challengers met outside the Roderick Hill Building to take on the reigning champion, 3rd year Mustafa Abdel-Gadir, and his 32-slice record.

Having phoned ahead Pizza Hut were very accommodating, seating us all together in one section of the restaurant. Placing orders all round of a Pizza Hut Buffet, accompanied mainly by, "a glass of tap water, please", all that was left was to start feasting.

Several students signalled that they…
