Hi again,
A correction to the term card I sent out (and unfortunately sent to the printers): the Emerging Technology Party is this Friday, not Week 5. Get tickets here.
Sorry,
Edward

Hi everyone,Welcome back!
This term will be as quiet as the last term was busy. In Week 2, we'll have a cybersecurity tech talk with KPMG, who are also generously sponsoring us for this term. In Week 5, we'll be taking part in the emerging technology party at the Oxford Foundry. The TGM will be in Week 6. We're currently approaching potential speakers for the last Learn to Code session on machine learning, but we've yet to confirm anything. That's all we've planned so far, but the committee will try to organise more things to satisfy your mid-week pizza cravings. The print termcard is attached.
At the AGM, you asked for cheap stash and that's what you're getting. Until Sunday 3rd Week, CompSoc t-shirts are £5 and CompSoc hoodies are £10. Get them here. Your order should arrive around 6th or 7th week.
Have a great week,
Edward and the rest of the committee
