Annual LUGES BBQ

James will be bringing food to the BBQ

Plan on playing Two Rooms and a Boom

Pendle Games Night

Plan to talk to Senet to ask them to join the Society at the next Pendle Games Night social

Committee feedback states that the Pendle Games Night socials are not very fun and are leaning on the anti-social side

Considering having Beat Saber at the Pendle Game Night socials, however, this would be limited to only one person at a time

Esports for Summer

No NUEL summer dates are available as of yet

County Socials

Need more events for the County Social

• Ultimate Chicken Horse
