Hi everyone!

Thanks to everyone who came to last week’s events. I hope everyone’s getting good use out of those socks - I certainly am.

Unfortunately, Wednesday’s event has been cancelled. If you’re still in the mood for networking, games or pizza (or all of the above) then you might want to check out the Problem Solving event Bronze sponsor *Jane Street* are hosting this Tuesday evening!

We’ll be back with a bang on Saturday with the *Mini Hackathon*! We’re really looking forward to seeing what everyone can come up with after the theme is revealed.

Have a great week!
