Compsoc Anniversary Dinner

Saturday 22nd May, 19:00

This academic year is the 25th anniversary of our founding (as "St John's College Microcomputer Society"), so we'll be celebrating accordingly! Dress code for the dinner is "smart", i.e a suit of some form (many people will be wearing black tie). The event starts at 7, with food served at 8. Unfortunately it is now too late to sign up for this event.

SSL

Tuesday 25th May, 20:00

Saturday 29th May, 09:30
Oxford Tube Shop, High Street

Your very own president will be leading a road trip to the Tottenham Court Road in London for all those interested in visiting some of the largest computer fairs in the UK and picking up some bargains.
