I figured that seeing as there\u2019s nothing left for us to really talk about in terms of events, I\u2019d do a year in review sort of thing. Mainly, this is a bunch of shout outs to various people and\/or societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, a huge shout out to our&nbsp;<strong>Rocket League<\/strong>&nbsp;team for their amazing performance in the tournaments that they played. They absolutely smashed the Winter League by straight up winning it and came second overall in the European League. Top tier work from the RL team, hope to keep it up next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve also had a bunch of socials this year, some of which with other societies such as bar crawls with&nbsp;<strong>Senet<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>LUMAS<\/strong>&nbsp;and Smash Bros. tournament that we held with the&nbsp;<strong>Mental Health Society<\/strong>. So, a shout out to all of these societies and everyone that was involved with any of the socials too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also had our&nbsp;<strong>LUGES Annual BBQ<\/strong>&nbsp;this year as well, thanks to everyone that came to that. It was pretty good, there were games during and afterwards and we all only got&nbsp;<em>mild<\/em>&nbsp;food poisoning. Can\u2019t wait to do it all next year though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big&nbsp;<strong>Alton Towers Trip<\/strong>&nbsp;that we were pushing for about two months also happened as well. We decided to open it up to every university member which, in hindsight, was a great idea cause we got to spread some of that good old LUGES spirit to everyone that went. It also&nbsp;helped our ticket sales. Again, a top tier trip and I\u2019m genuinely looking forward to the one next year if we decide&nbsp;to have another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even bigger boi&nbsp;<strong>Bailrigg<\/strong>&nbsp;happened just last week too and a big shout out to everyone that participated and an even bigger shout out to the winners:<br><strong>scr7<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<strong>Smash Ultimate Singles<\/strong><br><strong>scr7<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Zone<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<strong>Smash Ultimate Doubles<\/strong><br>Looking forward to the next Bailrigg and hopefully, by then they\u2019ll have added some of my favourite characters. But until then,&nbsp;<strong>GAME!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And with all that said and done, here\u2019s the last fact of the week and this one\u2019s carrying y\u2019all till October so enjoy:<br>The members of LUGES are what keeps the society going and are by far the best thing about LUGES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See y\u2019all in October,<br>Mo \u2013 LUGES General Secretary and sending a special shout to&nbsp;<strong>{{user_forename}}<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys, It\u2019s the generoli secretoli with the last newsletter of the year.
