WILL GIVING PETER BEER SOLVE MY PROBLEM?? | Newsletter T3W2

Sun 03 May Newsletter

Good evening everyone! I've returned from the ashes to still serve you as your wonderful secretary :)) You can't get rid of me that easily, unless Thomas hates me enough (which he doesn't. I think). As of now, I'm in the battlefield of a sea of databases past papers, hoping that I will see no inconspicous, strange, magical wordings in 2 days. Anyways, if that does happen, Peter promised me 100% in the module for fixing his lecture projection in one of the early lectures (I don't think this will happen rip).

ANYWAYS, since it is quite a stressful time right now... never forget that we have our welfare execs to be here for you if you ever need them :)

💜 Welfare Notice

UWCS has three Welfare Officers: Willow (Discord: moshimoo), Kevin (Discord: yummycatfood), and Erica (Discord: heldesar). They can also be reached via their email inbox at welfare@uwcs.co.uk.

You can speak to them at any time via Discord, email, and in person, for advice, signposting, and support. This can be for navigating the uni's support services, disclosing inappropriate or concerning behaviour at one of our events, and much more.

Any discussions you have with them will be treated sensitively. They will not share details more widely without your permission, except where they believe there is a serious risk of harm, a safeguarding concern, or another situation where they are required to escalate.

🎖️ SU Awards PLEASE NOMINATE FOR US

If we've ever impacted you positively - be that through a specific exec member or an event (e.g. ➡️ WASD 😁😁) - please head over to Union Awards and nominate us in the WSU Awards! It would mean a lot to us to have our efforts formally recognised so please guys!!! It only takes a few minutes to nominate but its impact changes us for the long term :)

👾 Friday Night Gaming (7pm to 1am) 🎮

🕖 Fri 8th May 7pm - 1am 📍 CS0.03

UNLIMITED GAMES

Friday Nights. Gaming. FNG. That's all we've known. PCs, consoles, VR, snacks and drinks. The pinnacle. The untoppable and unstoppable force. Sometimes you must choose between the last U1 and continuing Never Gonna Give You Up on Clone Hero. Your home for some beats? Aye, a worthy sacrifice.

Join us in DCS every Friday from 7pm, until we close our doors at 1am due to exam season.

The Gaming Coordinators this year are: Raven, Laina, Luna, Santiago and Maddie - if you need help or just wanna yap, come find us :)

We have our DCS account login - any game (including via Steam!) that you can get running, you can play. We also have several consoles, including Xboxes, PS4, Switch 1 & 2, Wii, along with our PCs which I call Nuke Machine and Microwave, which you can use our Valve Index on, play Clone Hero, and more! We also have board games for anybody wanting a less tech-based way to enjoy games :)

Important: FNG is a sober event, please don't bring alcohol in, or you will be asked to leave.

Also Important: Make sure to tidy up after yourself before leaving, the department does a great kindness in letting us run this event, preferably we stay on their good side!

Hope to see you there :3 (Note: you don't have to be a DCS student to come along!)
