Wed 30 Sep
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":http://www.steamcommunity.com/groups/uwcs 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.

Owing in part to the extended server downtime over the weekend, we'd like to point out that we now have a presence on both "Twitter":http://twitter.com/uwcs and "Identi.ca":http://identi.ca/uwcs where you can keep abreast of society news and information. There is also a "Facebook":http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coventry/University-of-Warwick-Computing-Society/58373841841 page, should you prefer to follow the society in this way.

Wed 04 Mar
Once again we hit that time of term when a weekend can be wholly devoted to the honest, clean and outdoors fun of a good LAN party. For those of you who haven't been before (or in a little while), you might want to read the what to do [0] and bring [1] guides on the website, an indispensable tool for all potential attendees. I would also like to draw your attention to the Pizza Order [2] on the website, which we'll be making from Dominos and should arrive 9 or 10PM on Friday. At 50% off, there surely can't be any drawbacks to having at least two large pizzas to yourself.

Wed 18 Feb
Once again it's the time of year that our Annual General Meeting comes around. We'll be assembling our conclave later this evening at 1830 in rooms R0.03/04 in the Ramphal building, and I'd like to wholeheartedly encourage you to attend if you find yourself even slightly partial to the future direction of the society. There may be snackies, and in true compsoc tradition a trip to a purveyor of beverages seems likely to follow.

Sat 10 Jan
Reasonably quiet week for CompSoc.. except of course for LAN next weekend! Signups are still open, but places are obviously being taken up, so head over to the events page if you don't want to miss out on a weekend of epic procrastination. (You might want to check out the pizza order event also, so that you don't starve while you game.)
