News items from Sep 2009


Welcome to the new year!

We’d like to extend a warm welcome both to previous, and prospective new members, to the new academic year.
Over the summer, we’ve been working to extend the range of services that we offer to our members. We now have a range of gaming servers operating from on campus, and also have plans laid for some great activities over the course of the next year. These include forthcoming trips to IBM, interesting talks from people in the technology industry and of course a number of our fantastic LAN parties.

If you want to keep abreast of what we’re offering, it’s strongly recommended you keep an eye on the Events section of this site, which also has a handy RSS feed.
To become involved in the society, the best way is to pop into our IRC chat room and get to know us!

Finally, if you’ve just joined the University this year, come and see us at the society’s fair, where we’ll be on both Wednesday and Thursday! We’ll have cookies, or… something.

Game servers

We’re happy to say that today we opened a number of game servers for a number of source based games. These are:
Counter-Strike: Source – 137.205.210.236:27015
Team Fortress 2 – 137.205.210.236:27011
Left 4 Dead – 137.205.210.236:27010

These are in addition to existing Warsow and DoTA servers which are also being hosted on campus. Furthermore, we have a Mumble (free voice communication software) server running at mumble.uwcs.co.uk:19000.

If you’re interested in playing any games with us, but particularly Valve Source based games, please feel free to join our Steam group.
