Hello StaffsLUG and FSFE Potteries people! Hack:Keele <https://keelesu.com/activities/society/hackkeele/> are having their 1st social of the new academic year TONIGHT from 6pm onwards. I'd normally get better notice of this sooner they only sent a Discord announcement 9pm last night and it seems I'm not on the newsletter any more! The event is open to non-students and there is no need to join either... a few of us are already going too (so you'll see some friendly faces). Anyone familiar with our old meetings in Keele at IC1 will be familiar with the area... but in this case park on the main campus car park and walk over to Colin Reeves which is on this map <https://www.keele.ac.uk/about/howtofindus/maps/keele-campus-map.pdf> listed as building 24 (which is north-west of where the sports centre is).  Anyone struggling to find it (or get in) just ring 01782 444525 which will go through to my mobile and I can help. *I've put the original event information below.* Also... If you *did* want to join (no obligation to) then it's done via the keelesu.com <https://keelesu.com> website (but it's having issues doing this currently) where you'd pay £10 for the year to be an "Affiliate" of the Societies of Keele... and then you can join any society allowing "Associate" (i.e. non-student) memberships... like Hack:Keele for free for the year. ----------- *Location:* Colin Reeves, CR0.10 OR CR0.12 *When:* TODAY (Wednesday 30th September) 6pm to 6pm Greetings all, welcome and welcome back to Keele. Hack's first social will be in *Colin Reeves, CR0.10* from 6pm 'til 9pm on Wednesday 30th September. There's no particular aim here, just mess around with tech, talk about nerdy stuff, and we should have some practice locks and tools out if you're interested in picking them at all. We'll also have the society's computer running along with a couple other bits and bobs. This is also a good session to talk to us committee members about any potential things you'd like to see later in the year. As with all of our socials, you don't necessarily need to be a society member on https://keelesu.com/ to join us, although it does help our numbers if you do join for the low cost of £0.00 and your time. As with all societies, this also signs you up to our mailing list. n.b. if you were unable to join prior to the Freshers Fair this issue has now been solved *If you're locked out of the building, please @ any online Committee member and we'll let you in. Feel free to turn up and go whenever you want.* ----------- -- Steven Maddox Lantizia
