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!

The time has come for the 2020-2021 CompSoc committee to be elected! Any CompSoc member is welcome, and encouraged, to run for any position they like the look of. The committee roles being voted on are:
President: makes sure the society runs smoothly
Vice-President: helps the president with running the society
Secretary: deals with memberships and newsletters
Social Secretary: organises the events
Treasurer: takes care of the bank account
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.
