Stop the Count? | T2W7 Newsletter

Posted on 20th February 2023

Our AGM was on Friday, which I'm sure was very fun for everyone there, and even more fun for those attempting to watch (listen) to our online stream of it. Anyway, elections are open for a little longer: please go vote, we need quite a few votes to hit our vote minimum (quorum).

We have a fairly simple week (for once), with just our regular events!

I would say I enjoyed the AGM, but then again, I was lured away by the promise of a Ferris plushie and a Rust book
