We have an exec meeting tomorrow at 5-6. Please come along and raise any
points you wish to raise, or come along just see see your friendly exec
members in action! After that we will be heading down to the pub as usual.

I hope that the first half of term 1 was ok, and that any freshers flu
you caught
has now cleared up. With any luck you’ve been enjoying the socials we’ve been
putting on for you. If you haven’t been to any yet, then this is week
your chance!

This week is also the week we will be going to Alton Towers. Depature is at
8am from outside the arts centre. We will email those going to confirm this
later in the week.Please remember to pay monk if you haven’t already, and don’t
stay up too late at gaming :D.

Hello Compsoc!

After a lengthy discussion at Friday’s exec meeting, we have decided
that we will no longer be advertising food as part of the pre-gaming
social. You can order food if you want, but please be aware that even
if the dirty duck is full, we won’t be moving over to Rootes Social
building or the like. If you liked food at the social and think this was the
wrong decision to make, or if you have any other ways you think that
the society could be improved, you should come along to the exec
meeting next Monday and have your say on how the society is run!
Note that there is no Exec meeting this week.

There are also a lot of Warwick Game Design events running this week,
including a workshop followed by a console social on Wednesday. Please
check the events page of our website for up to date information about
what’s going on this week.

There is also a talk on Wednesday about how to get the most from your
shell account. Every member is entitled to a free shell account, which
can be used for IRC, website hosting and lots of other interesting tricks.
If you want to come along to the first academic talk of the year (which I
really recommend you do) you should ask for a shell account at

Hello CompSoc!

First of all, a big welcome to all the new freshers! I hope that
you’ve had an action packed first week, without too many hangovers!
Hopefully you turned up to gaming yesterday, but if not then have no
fear, as it runs every Friday.

There will be a freshers social this Monday, which you should come
along to and meet the exec, after which those that are interested will
be able to walk to the pub with us to have a bite to eat, chat to
current members, and possibly have a pint.

We will be heading over to Alton Towers to celebrate Halloween, and
there are still a few spaces left. We will be providing transport to
and from campus via coach. Including the tickets to get in we have got
a price estimate of £20-£30. Once we have confirmed the numbers we can
confirm the pricing, so please sign up as soon as possible. Signups
close Sunday 18th October. Considering Alton Towers is £37 for a
ticket on the day, you will not be getting a better deal! Head over to
http://uwcs.co.uk/events/details/1093 for more information.
