On Thursday 4th July from 6pm we have been invited to the awards for the ESSA Competition at FIG Village in Shepherd's Bush London. There will be graduate recruiters, live music, DJ's and a free bar! As well as inter-society basketball and table tennis contests. Dress code is smart casual!
Depending on numbers wanting to attend we may be able to organise transport between us (so please RSVP and comment about transport needs) - driving to London and parking at a tube station or hiring a minibus might be an option as trains are expensive.
Also the video goes live on Thursday 20th June to 4th July where the count will be stopped live at this grand final event and the most views wins £5,000 for the society so we will need all your help to get as many...
On 19th June at 2pm, which is the Wednesday we finish University, we are going to Beacon Hill which is 4 miles away. I will be taking the car so we can take everyone's goodies and then the rest can cycle over with Nathan leading. The plan is to meet in the swimming pool car park with the bikes and cars at 2pm to load the cars and then head over to Beacon for around 2:30pm or so.
If there are some wanting to walk or take the bus then this can be done too. The bus is from...
Oli will be doing a Website Dev talk for the society which will also be streamed.
The title of the talk will be: "Building an online multiplayer table hockey game using WebSockets, PHP and JavaScript" and Oli has said "If you have some basic knowledge of PHP and JS you should be able to program it along with me. I'll make the necessary files etc available beforehand." But it will also be fun to watch how it is done and pick up some basic knowledge along the way!
Time: 6-8pm
Room: JJ010 in the Ann Packer Building near Towers (http://maps.lboro.ac.uk/ and type in Ann Packer)
Mainly LAN 40 Feedback and Fresher's Month. Please note Summer LAN might not go ahead since it is out of term.

edit: - I would like to clarify that I mis heard Nathan and changed the minutes as if because this was a typo. If it had changed from what was said in the minutes I'd put it in brackets, as I had in my first horrific set of minutes. (also didn't see what charles said, curse you tappatalk)
The society hasn't had a drinking social for a while, so what better way to prepare for the onslaught of exams than with a leisurely round of pub golf.
Dress code is as expected, golfing attire, so i would like to see as many silly hats and slightly too short trousers as possible.
The Rules:
Strokes:
Shot = 2
Single+Mixer or VS or Bottle of Beer = 3
Double+Mixer or Pint = 4
Pitcher = 5
Penalties (number of strokes added to score):
Spill = 1
Falling Over or Missing a hole = 2
Being refused a drink = 3
Cheating = 5
Throwing Up = 10
What to do:
Buy a drink (or multiple drinks) at each pub, your aim is to drink the same or higher stroke rate that the pub has been designated.
The score is calculated by:
SCORE = PAR - STROKE OF DRINK(S) + STROKE OF PENALTIES
Last Committee meeting of the year, come one and all. I should point out that if there's anything you want to see at fresher's LAN now would be the time to bring it up. We'll have all summer to see if/how we could do it.
