Hi everyone!
One notice this week: there will be a small social on Saturday for anyone

I hope everyone has enjoyed the absolutely riveting newsletters I’ve had

Over and out!

Hi everyone!
It’s time for the social event of the year: the *CompSoc Annual General
Meeting*. On Wednesday we’ll be voting on three exciting motions, and
electing the 2020-21 committee. You can see the attached agenda for the
full rundown.
If you’d like to run for a committee position (and why wouldn’t you?) then
all you need to do is announce your intention on Wednesday, and be prepared
to answer some tough questions such as: “how many Meateor pizzas will you
order?” and “does P=NP?”.
On Saturday we have our termly LAN party! New this term is the addition of
CompSoc's very own VR kit, so come on down if you'd like to check that out!
For those of you attending *Learn to Code*, please remember that the last
session is *Tuesday* at 7pm, not Thursday!
If you’re looking for something to do over the summer, the Careers Service
have information on their Summer Internship Programme, which you can read
about below.
See you on Wednesday!

If you want to run for any of the above, all you have to do is be present
at the meeting ready to express your motivation for the role.
We’ll also be voting on approving the minutes of meetings from the previous
TGM, and any other things people propose. If there’s anything you’d like to
see on the agenda, send it our way.
