*Action*: MrWilson to organise the digitising of the logo.
h3. LAN:
-Fyorl needs to speak to Roger about the trolley.
-As Fyorl can't be bothered to revise, it is likely the new music server will be finished for the week 5 LAN.

h3. Academic Talks:
-Would consist of members of the society doing talks.
-We can e-mail the DCS reception to have the talks advertised in the DCS lobby.
