Hello everybody, the 5-aside society is in its second year of running this year. We host weekly 5 aside games open to all in the college in a fun and engaging environment. It is the perfect place for a kick about with your mates and a brilliant opportunity to make new mates as you go too. In addition to our weekly games we will also host various tournaments throughout the college year with great prizes available! We will try to host as many games and tournaments during this difficult year as we can to provide everybody with a great 5-aside experience .

Hi guys, my name is King In Wong or you can call me Kimmy. I’m the President of NCI Badminton Club & Society. My role is to organize the badminton sessions, competitions and social gatherings if nature permits. For this years badminton sessions, we are scheduled for once a week (day and time yet to be decided) 
Beginners and intermediate badminton players are all welcome to join in to our big family, so don’t be shy to hop in! We would love to give everyone an opportunity to learn and play badminton on the court. 
From my past experience as a member of this badminton club, everyone was so friendly, kind and welcoming, just like being treated as a family member. So don’t worry about joining in as a new member and meeting new faces, we will treat you right. <3

The Equality soc is just there to be a fun and inclusive environment for everyone to express themselves however they want . Last year we took trips , did day outings , attended pink training ( largest lgbt+ training event in Europe) ,we had open debates around various topics that students felt they needed to talk about , we held weekly meetings , ran the “meet your equality soc” campaign ( this included a photo shoot with a professional photographer) , we held NCIs first drag show and ran many  quizzes and talks throughout equality week and shag week . We did all this while being fueled by pizza ,chicken wings and lots and lots of coffee !

Hello and failté! As president of the Irish culture society, I am writing this piece to tell you about what the Irish society means to me and what’s it about. The Irish culture society is our way of connecting all life forms to the Irish culture  that is present today. We want to welcome our students to their own culture and the culture that they are living in. To me, the Irish culture society is a way of connecting with other students with a common interest of learning and seeing more of the culture today. This year is very different for what we had planned but don’t let that worry you. We have online quizzes, walks and hikes and visiting some historic sites. We will also be running competitions throughout the year so keep and eye on the Instagram page. We are looking forward to meeting some new faces and welcoming back some old ones too.

Go raibh míle agus failté!

National College of Ireland Islamic Society was founded in 2017. Our aim is to create a
positive & welcoming community which helps bring all of our Muslim students of various
backgrounds together. Our society acknowledges the importance of social, cultural,
educational and religious activities & makes an effort to incorporate these through lectures,
leisure events & charity fundraising.
We hold various group discussions where knowledge is passed, questions are asked &
answered. This allows members to strengthen their knowledge which helps clear any
misconceptions about Islam by engaging in dialogue with Non-Muslim students on campus
& developing unity by collaborating with various Islamic Societies around Ireland.
We don’t just put an enormous accentuation on learning but also on making your time at NCI
more memorable. We organise a range of exciting activities such as ice-skating, culture
week, bowling and a lot more.
Joining the Islamic Society allows you to not only take part in all of this but to also allows
you to meet new people, make lifelong friends & experience various life-time opportunities.

“We are the NCI Men’s gaa team in the college. The team competes in the third level competition and we’ve reached the semi finals of the league for the last 3 years and we’ve also reached the all Ireland finals twice, just missing out on the silverware. The team is a great way to get involved and play Gaelic football for the college. 

So we hope to see yous all out for trails in the coming weeks.”

At the NCI Mental Health Society, we have three main aims. We want to educate people on Mental Health, inform them of the services available and promote good mental health and wellbeing throughout the college. We have done this through hosting numerous events and campaigns throughout the college and working with charities such as Pieta. We look forward to having you join us in the forthcoming year!

Hey guys! Karl here, your vice president, along with your president Fawaz, we want to welcome you to the NCI Pool club where everyone is welcome. Whether you play casually or if you’re looking to join the team to play competitively, we want to encourage everyone with an interest in pool to get involved and follow us on our Instagram and Facebook page where all information for our events throughout the year will be posted.
 We are a well-established club within the college, and we hold many events throughout the year.

We hope that you will enjoy your time with the club and have a great experience despite the pandemic.
From my experience, being a member of the pool club over the past two years has always been great fun fuelled by the amazing people within our community who have always been generous and amiable. I have no doubts that you will make great friends and memories with us!
