Hey everyone,
As we're nearing the start of the academic year, there are plenty of
things to get involved with:
*Database conference - discounted tickets for student society members*
Hi there
I am organising a database conference in Oxford on 17th October - All Your
Base <http://allyourbaseconf.com/> - and thought that some of your society
members studying computer science might be interested in the student
discount code (£100 down from £264).
If you could post some information on the event and the discount code to
your group, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks!
