Week 9 Term 3 Newsletter

Posted on 25th June 2010

Greetings CompSoc!

Just a quick message about the BFL, our week long LAN in week 10, starting on Monday morning.

There is one place remaining, so if you haven't signed up already, be quick!
(If signups fill up, and you REALLY want to go, try e-mailing the exec, although I can't promise anything.)

For those of you already signed up, standard pre-LAN procedure is advised, updating games etc.
The steam summer sale is on, so you might want to look at picking up some stuff from there.

IMPORTANT: Please note...
