h1. Misc

-Rayhaan and Mcnutty went to societies committee meeting. It was pretty useless, they said we still cant be in two categories, the only possible change is that we can be under leisure but we decided that wasn't really an option.
-Constitution was talked about again, the draft is still being worked on, and we are going to hold an online EGM in week 9. It will be advertised from week 7 onwards.
-Talked about a strategy for 2015/16, or, what we want to achieve. This is what came out: Sorting out good advertising for Freshers fair. Running a series of talks in term 1, working with the department and game design to get good speakers in. Progcomps should have prizes and we should ask lecturers to advertise them. Offer coursework help and exam revision sessions (like other societies do) in XING. A guide on how exactly to use IRC, like from requesting a shell account to joining the channel.
