Hi everyone! We've got a slightly less jam-packed week for you this week, read on to find out what's coming up (and also to see an important reminder regarding the upcoming AGM)!

🍔 Join us at the Pub!

[Week 4] Monday 31st, 6:30pm @ DCS, then 7:00 @ The Dirty Duck

It's Monday, so you know what that means - we're off to the pub for a meal and some chat - but instead of going to The Phantom Coach, we'll be heading over to Dirty Duck (which is on campus) this week! We'll be meeting outside DCS around 6:30 tonight - hope to see ya there!

🎮 Friday Night Gaming

[Week 4] Friday 4th, 7pm-12am, Department of Computer Science

Come join us in the ground floor of DCS, as we kick our feet up and relax by playing some games. We'll be putting out our range of consoles, and Steam is up and running for you to use your library, but we also have our very own GamingGet software where you can download and play a bunch of DRM-Free games, no login required. We now have a second switch available, and to top it all off, we'll have VR available too!

( As this event is in-person, we ask that you follow the safety precautions outlined at https://uwcs.co.uk/covid-19/ )
