Week 15? Not even halfway through term. Thank you to everyone who came LAN yesterday! And thank you to everyone who played speed-running bingo, was a blast. (Congratulations Mo!!!) Also big big thank you to Ben who ran it; you could see the stress in his eyes :*.
I also would like to personally welcome Katie to exec as our co-opted Vice President. It’s only until the AGM but she will do a fantastic job!
Nominations are open!
Yesterday we held an general meeting and voted on what Exec roles will be available for the upcoming elections at our AGM. We’re kicking out the existing exec so all roles will be available.
You can apply for as many roles as you want but can only be elected to one position.
You can nominate yourself here

Week 15 Events
- LEGO SPECIAL COUNTY BAR SOCIAL on Tuesday at 8pm as usual. We’re joining up with the LEGO society for this Tuesday to get together and play all the LEGO video games. We’ll try have as much variety as we can!!!
- SMASH WEEKLIES on Monday this week in Bowland North Seminar Room 7 from 6pm – 10pm.
Also note that next week will be the second Rockband event of the term on Wednesday so start getting your requests in and we’ll try our best to sort it before then.
Friday next week will be the first bar crawl of this term. Nothing special so far, just some nerds having drinks across campus.
Changes to SMASH WEEKLIES bracket
The Smash weeklies bracket will be moved forward from 7pm to 6:30pm just to start the tournament a little earlier. Room will still be open from 6pm though so don’t worry about that.

Easter Egg of the Week
In The Binding of Isaac, you can use ‘seeds’ to predetermine how a map is ‘randomly’ generated. But the devs put in some special seeds that do special things. For example, “CHRISTMAS” will make everything christmasy, “BL00 00DY” will make everything extra bloody and gory. That is just 2 and there are dozens. The escapist magazine did an article with a list of all the seeds that you can find here.
The easiest way to contact us is on Facebook and Discord.
