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.* http://www.customclubclothing.co.uk/shop/index.php?c=259 Your order should arrive around 6th or 7th week.
Have a great week,
