Hi!

LAN seating plan is at "http://www.uwcs.co.uk/society/events/seating/717":http://www.uwcs.co.uk/society/events/seating/717, for what it's worth. I'm afraid it's the same system as last time, and thus totally unsuited for what we'll be up to: I'm afraid I really don't know what the table layout will be.

For now, however, can you update yourselves on it into approximately 6 columns of 5 ish, or 5 columns of 6, or some similar re-arrangement, and we'll see how we go when we do the setup. The bit labelled...

Proxy Voting is now open. The candidates are:
*President*: Richard Warburton (Mulletron), Andrew Wheat (Candle)
*Treasurer*: Bruce Tinton (Bruce)
*Secretary*: Simon Hammond (Hamster)
*Tech Officer*: Fred Emmott (Fred), Timothy Retout (Tim)
*Academic Officer*: Arun Prasannan (Polar)
*Gaming Officer*: Chris West (Faux), Andrew Lee (Fluff_eei)
*Wuglug Liaison Officer*: Daniel Watkins (Odd_Bloke)

*Socials Officer* has not received any nominations.

Nominations will be accepted until Tuesday evening inclusive ...

Thousands of apologies etc., but the previous LAN-related email was in fact incorrect.

It had apparently slipped my mind that due to a room booking issue, the LAN is at the end of week 7, that is, Fri 23rd Feb. The event has been corrected on the website.

Signups will still open at noon this Saturday.

Again, apologies for both the change in date, and the late notice for this LAN.

Our second LAN of term is now up on the events page. Note that as we are in a smaller room and we're not sure of power requirements, signups for this event will be limited to 30 at first. Once we know what the room can take, we may bring them up to 40, but it seems unlikely that we will be able to fit many more.

Signups will open at noon this Saturday, and I strongly suggest you signup ASAP after then - it's not unknown for 30 places to go in 5 minutes!

If it's full, don't worry - you can still sign up as...

MySQL should now be fully functioning again if you've only been using MyISAM tables (the default). If you've been using InnoDB tables, your database should still exist, however you may have to restore data/table layouts from backups. If you don't have a recent backup or don't have access to your database, please contact techteam@uwcs.co.uk.

Apologies.

The compsoc AGM will be held on 21st February.

Nominations are now open.
Please email nominations to "bruce" "at" followed by "uwcs.co.uk"

Proxy voting will open on 14th February, once the WUGLUG have nominated their representative. I will send another email to all members on that day.

There is now a "drag and drop LAN seating plan":http://www.uwcs.co.uk/society/events/seating/688 - just drag people around and hit "save new arrangement" if you don't like your existing seat.

Also, there is an "experimental pizza order signup":http://www.uwcs.co.uk/society/events/details/713 - please signup and specify your desired pizza in the comments, and the pizza will be ordered sometime before the LAN, thus neatly guaranteeing a sensible arrival time (11pm Friday). Medium pizzas should be a fiver eac...

CompSoc is planning a karting trip on the Wednesday of Week 7 (21st Feb). It will start at 3pm at Mr. Karting, in Leamington, and cost will likely be about £30 (I've not had confirmation of that yet). Transport is likely to be provided by members, so if you have a car, please say so in your signup comments.

CompSoc have a preliminary reservation on the time, but as we need to place a deposit, we need 10 people guaranteed to come before we can justify fully making our booking. There's an "event on the web...

There will be another Console Gaming session this Saturday, at 7pm in B2.07. Please indicate if you're able to come and if you're able to bring a TV on the signups page!

If you need a lift from Earlsdon, please indicate as such in your signup, so that bucko can sort out picking you up/dropping you off.

We have been invited along to the VGDSoc's Console Social this Friday (19th) at 7pm in B2.07/B2.08. Feel free to come along! If you can bring a TV too, that'd be great!

Also, LAN signups for week 4 open for CompSoc members this Saturday at Noon. Guest signups open the following Monday at noon.
