Hello All, This week we might have two events! Firstly there is is the Termly General Meeting. Come along on Wednesday for some free pizza and to have a say in what sort of things the society should do in the future. Secondly, we might be having a BBQ. I am currently finding out if it's ok, but with any luck there will be a Comp Soc BBQ on Thursday at St Cat. Hopefully the dean and the weather will be agreeable. I will send out another email to confirm whether or not the BBQ is happening. Regards, Pete. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Termly General Meeting <http://compsoc.net/termcards/2012/trinity/Termly_General_Meeting/> Wednesday 30th May, 18:00 St Catz PDR <http://compsoc.net/venues/St_Catz_PDR/> Come along to the St Catz PDR for free pizza and a say in what sort of things the society should be doing - what events are interesting, where events should be held and so on.

Hi Everybody! This week there will be a games night! I suggest TF2, Starcraft, DotA, Unreal Tournament or Age of Empires but as usual we are open to suggestions, so please bring along any games you want to play. There will, as always, be pizza and refreshments. Pete, CompSoc President ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Games Night 2 <http://compsoc.net/termcards/2012/trinity/Games_Night_2/> Wednesday 23rd May, 19:00 St Catz PDR <http://compsoc.net/venues/St_Catz_PDR/> Come play some video games at St Catz PDR - TF2, Super Monday Night Combat, DotA, Starcraft, Age of Empires, or any other games you care to suggest. Pizza and Drinks will be there. Here are some photos from our last games night:Photos <https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.217737448329650.30218.11317846211…> If you plan on attending you will need to bring a laptop with any games you want to play installed and updated - Catz internet will be too slow to download stuff. You will also need a LAN cable and probably a power supply for your laptop. Team Fortess 2 and Super Monday Night Combat are both free to install and play fromhttp://store.steampowered.com/(you have to install Steam first, though). It is also possible to install TF2 from another computer with it already installed on, we will probably be able to facilitate this but should stress that it is a much better idea to make sure it is installed and up to date beforehand. If there are any other games you'd like to play (and think others will have) bring them along and we might play them too!

Hello all, Sorry for the delay in getting the news letter out to you! This week we have a film night lined up at St Catz JCR lecture theatre. Come along on Wednesday to get free pizza, drinks and enjoy a (hopefully good) film. Whether or not the film is good is in your hands, as there will be a poll up where you can vote for which film to watch. As always there will be interesting discussion to be had regarding computers afterwards. A member who came along to the talk from CoreFiling on Wednesday told me about Oxford Geek Night, which may be of interest to you guys and is happening this Thursday, so I thought I'd mention it here. It is a gathering of web developers etc. where there are relatively short talks about tech related topics. More info here <http://oxford.geeknights.net/2012/may-17th/>. Cheers, Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Compsoc DVD Night <http://compsoc.net/termcards/2012/trinity/Compsoc_DVD_Night/> Wednesday 16th May, 19:00 St Catz JCR Lecture Theatre <http://compsoc.net/venues/St_Catz_JCR_Lecture_Theatre/> This week we have a film night lined up at St Catz JCR lecture theatre.
