MUGS AGM	Thursday, 1pm-2pm, 4th September (Week 6)	Now when people hear the words Annual General Meeting you generally see them rush to the door, but not this one! The MUGS AGM offers FREE PIZZA, BEER and SOFT DRINKS and all you have to do is come along and vote for who you want to represent you! You can nominate either yourself or a mate for a position as; PRESIDENT, SECRETARY, TREASURER, EDUCATION OFFICER, POSTGRADUATE REP or YEAR LEVEL REP, or simply vote for someone you want to see in.

Annual Geomatics Industry Dinner (aka Geo Ball)	Thursday, 7pm onwards, 11th September (Week 7)	The Geomatics Ball is one of style and glamour, with all the Geos out to impress in their finest attire. This event has something for everyone; you have the chance to network with industry members, recognise the academic achievements of your fellow Geos as well as have a dance later on in the night. A ticket to the night includes a 3 COURSE MEAL, BEER, WINE, SPIRITS and SOFT DRINKS as well as entry and transport to the AFTER PARTY. All this costs only $70 for MUGS members and $75 for non-members. This year we will be farewelling Gary Hunter, who has been an amazing contributor to MUGS since his time as a MUGS Secretary in 1981!

Geo Ball After Party	Thursday, 7pm onwards, 11th September (Week 7)	Some argue it's bigger than the event itself. This year the After Party will be one to remember - and for the right reasons (not because it's reggae night!)	Coming soon!
MUGS vs. GSSA Rivalry Match	Week 8	The rivalry between MUGS and their RMIT counterparts GSSA dates back to 1979. The rivalry looks to be renewed over a soccer match, with a BBQ afterwards and possibly a few drinks at the pub after that! The GSSA Prez has called it a 'Grudge' match, but we have nothing to hold a grudge against them considering how much better we are!	Coming soon!
Trivia Night	Week 10	The MUGS Trivia Night… Typically held at INUBAR, this event really lets you see who the competitive ones are within the club. It makes for an interesting night, with questions related to Geomatics, Geography and just plain random stuff.

This year we are looking to do battle against APPLe, the Architecture club. As usual we'll show the architects how things are done!	Coming soon!
Poster Presentation	Wednesday, 29th October (Week 12	Final Year Geomatics students present a poster of their year long research project, showing off all their hard work to their peers, Geomatics staff and industry alike.

This event also gives the younger MUGS members a chance to investigate topics they could potentially study in their final year.	Coming soon!
End of Year Spit Roast	Friday, 31st October (Week 12)	MUGS is becoming renowned for its end of year celebrations.

This event is held on the last teaching day of the year and gives MUGS members the chance to catch up right before exams hit, but after all the final assignments are handed in. It not only offers a grand selection of food but a HUGE RAFFLE with prizes like the latest Melways, Lonely Planet books and Distos (and plenty of random prizes as well!) Held at the Systems Garden.
