A CompSoc Pub Crawl!

Week 3, Wednesday (18th Jan), 7 pm City Arms or 6.30 pm Campus Bus Stop

I have not yet planned a specific route, however we will be pub crawling from the city arms on wednesday night and it will be lots of fun! There's no need to worry that it will all just be drin...

We're off to see Hursley, one of IBM's biggest software development laboratories on the 16th of November (Wednesday)!

We've got a coach booked to leave from campus at 12.00pm and depart from Hursley at 5.30pm (trip time is around two hours). The trip costs £4 to cover the coach hire.

IBM tell us they've arranged a good spread of speakers and demos, so it should be a great trip!

You don't need to be a member to come along, non-members should email their names and university numbers to exec@uwcs.co.uk.

At the end of week 8, The Computing Society will be hosting the second LAN of this academic year, in Lib2. Further details are here. If you've missed the signups, please still sign up as a reserve - it's likely we'll be able to extend the signups once again, and if we do, the people signed up as reserves will be given priority.

Finally, if you realise closer to the time that you can't turn up, please cancel your signup to give someone else a chance.

See you all there!

Hello and welcome to Compsoc!

For everyone who's joined the society (and even those who haven't yet) there's a welcome social on Wednesday at 7.30 in Meeting Room 3, Union North.

The social should give you an opportunity to get to meet all the regular members and to know some of the cool things we've got planned in the upcoming year.

If you've got any questions, drop the exec an email or hop into IRC (irc.uwcs.co.uk, #compsoc).
