It is I, the <s>best<\/s> <s>worst<\/s> most mediocre General Secretary, ready to create another newsletter of the same quality. Big shout out to anyone that still getting these newsletters because, seeing as temporary memberships expired sometime last week, it means that everyone here has actually paid for membership, becoming a fully LUGES member. Unless you\u2019ve managed to hack the Students\u2019 Union\u2019s database to add yourself to the LUGES group in which case, I must ask why you chose LUGES over literally any other society. But I digress.<br>(P.S. you also get a surprise for paying the membership fee. No seriously, it\u2019s like two paragraphs down)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now for the moment you\u2019ve all been waiting for and the only part of the newsletter that people actually read (if any), the event line-up:<br><strong>Smash Weeklies <\/strong>\u2013 Monday, 6 pm \u2013 10 pm, BNSR 21. My favourite Smash Bros. character is the guy from the \u2018It\u2019s free real estate\u2019 meme. (Shout out Henry for the meme suggestion this week) Who\u2019s yours?<br><strong>County Social <\/strong>\u2013Tuesday, 8 pm \u2013 11 pm, County Bar. Yes, we\u2019re finally going to do fighting games for this week\u2019s County Social. And yes, we probably would have Smash Bros. But we\u2019ll have other stuff too so come along anyway.<br><strong>Michaelmas LAN 1 <\/strong>\u2013 Saturday, 12 pm \u2013 Sunday, 3 am, BNSR 9-11. Hey, remember when we stuck ourselves in the Bowland North Seminar Rooms and did nothing but play video games and eat pizza during Freshers\u2019 Week for an unholy amount of time? Well, we\u2019re doing it again but this time for a less unholy amount of time and we\u2019ll have a general meeting where you can vote on things for the Constitution. We\u2019ve even got a channel made where you can It\u2019s still most likely going to be cursed though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding future\nevents, we\u2019ll have a Wetherspoons Social next Thursday at 7 pm in, you guessed\nit, Wetherspoons (the one in Lancaster because I know at least one person\nreading this didn\u2019t know one existed, it\u2019s OK). We\u2019re trying something new and\nhaving a social on in Wetherspoons where you can do\u2026 Wetherspoons stuff? I\u2019ve\nnever been to Wetherspoons. But there\u2019s a first time for everything if not so\nI\u2019ll be coming anyway, and you should too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bailrigg 9 is coming up really soon, November 9<sup>th<\/sup> in Welcome Lecture Theatre 1 so make sure you\u2019ve registered for that.
