h2. Publicity Officer

The previous exec decided that a publicity officer was needed. After a brief discussion, Trip was nominated to the position, due to her experience and the exec being impressed with her work on the one world week advertising...

Once again it's the time of year that our Annual General Meeting comes around. We'll be assembling our conclave later this evening at 1830 in rooms R0.03/04 in the Ramphal building, and I'd like to wholeheartedly encourage you to attend if you find yourself even slightly partial to the future direction of the society. There may be snackies, and in true compsoc tradition a trip to a purveyor of beverages seems likely to follow.

If you've reached term two whilst still unsure of the location of the Ramphal Bu...

Reasonably quiet week for CompSoc.. except of course for LAN next weekend! Signups are still open, but places are obviously being taken up, so head over to the events page if you don't want to miss out on a weekend of epic procrastination. (You might want to check out the pizza order event also, so that you don't starve while you game.)

Apart from that, we hope you guys all had a good holiday, and hope to see you at all our events!

As Knicos was leaving university for an extended period of time, it was decided that the society needed a new Tech Officer. It was also decided that Brad must be the new Tech officer (mainly because he is already in contact with ITS to deal with their upcoming investigatio...

h5. Speed Programming Competition Sponsors

Hammad had been in contact with SunGuard to see if they were interested in sponsoring us. Apparently they had expressed such an interest, Hammad has followed this up with another email, but as it stands there was no reply - so nothing confirmed yet.
Hammad also mentioned that Morgan Stanley had expressed an interest in showin...

There are only a very small number of spaces left for our LAN at the end of week 6. If you're interested in going, sign up now to avoid disappointment! There is also a pizza order currently on the website for delivery on the Friday night. This time we'll be ordering from Dominos, and we'll be getting half price on the whole order.

h5. Exec Meeting Time

Clearly there have been problems with picking an appropriate time for the exec meeting. Based on the spreadsheet that monk set up, it seems like Thursday afternoon would be best. Currently Adi and Hammad haven't replied saying when isn't good for them.

Welcome to Warwick and to what is the first compsoc newsletter, going out
in week 3, easily demonstrating the ruthless effienciency of your beloved
exec.

We'd like to welcome in particular the new freshers who have joined our
ranks and encourage you guys to take part in as many of our activities as
possible be they gaming, academic or just plain socials.

Probably the most important event for this week is the fresher's social
which is going to be happening from 3:30-6:00 this Saturday in SO.28. Just
drop i...

So it's that time of year again where we attempt to brainwash freshers into giving up their souls and joining our ranks of nerdery and awesome.

Unfortunately, whilst brainwashing is good in theory we need people to carry out said brainwashing on our behalf.

As such we need volunteers to man the stalls for the fresher's fair, signups have already been posted on the Events page so if you've got a free hour or two on Monday or Tuesday of week two between 9 and 4:30 then the rest of the exec and I would be re...

Hope you've all had a great summer and for those of you who are coming back and that you're looking forward to the new year.

Multiplay have just contacted us and asked if any members would appreciate free (yes, free! Normal price is £45, I believe) tickets to the PC Gamer Showdown at Stoneleigh park *this weekend*. If you aren't aware, Stoneleigh Park is very conveniently located, being only about 10 minutes travel away from campus. This is a BYOC LAN event for 800 people with some big cash prize tourname...
