Sun 24 Nov Newsletter

Evening everyone, it's your favourite President Secretary trying to 100% the exec roles (only frep and gaming left now), so I'll be writing the newsletter this week.

We've not got a lot planned, but rest assured we're going to go out with a bang next week (more details released soonTM)!

Also: we're running a by-election for a new Gender Inclusivity officer - if you're interested in running some events targeted towards our gender minority group (Wildcards) send your name, student ID and a short description to president@uwcs.co.uk before the election this Friday.

If you need any support, you can reach out to our welfare officers on Discord: Serene (@thiswasdumb) and Raven (@raven0034) - they will direct you to the support that you need.

🍔 Pub Meal 🍔

Monday 25th Nov 7-9pm 📍 Phantom Coach

The Gang Takes Over a Local Pub (again)

We're back at Phantom coach for the last time this term!

Those of us still in the running (not me, apparently being in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY doesn't count as a mitigating circumstance), the winner will be announced at the end of term meal next week so don't quit now because who needs a positive bank balance.

No, I have no clue what the prize is. Yes, I'm terrified.

🖥️ Debugging Cafe 🖥️

Tuesday 26th Nov 5-7pm 📍 CS0.06

Oh to be a little robot stuck in a maze

Our final Compcafe of the term is on debugging! We'll be providing some tips for how to debug well (and not end up with a 1:1 ratio of print statements to lines of code) ahead of the last few deadlines of term. Also, plenty of snacks and free drinks from the coffee machine.
