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.

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,
*Edward and the rest of the committee*
