Welcome back to Oxford!
We hope you all had a relaxing vacation, and are looking forward to the
coming term. As the regulations have loosened, it is finally possible to go
back to hosting in the CS department. Hope to see you there tomorrow on
Board Game Night :)
Have a good start to the term,
*Kinga and the rest of the committee*

you.
