Intro Meeting RESCHEDULED!

Due to some unforseen circumstances, including illness and beginning
of term room booking craziness, we had to cancel the intro meeting
this Monday (boo). BUT we have now rearranged the room booking, and
I’m pleased to announce the time and location of the NEW intro
meeting!

KLSR4, from 1800 on Monday 5th October
Location
Directions:

If you go into Keynes through the glass doors at the front, go right.
Go past the reception (in a glass box) and then turn left. Just
before you reach the stairs, turn left and you should be standing in
front of the door to KLSR4.

In this meeting we’re going to cover:

  • Introduction to TinkerSoc
  • Who we are
  • What we do
  • How to join

Since we’re a little behind, we’ll give you a quick runthough of
Processing and how we managed to build spiroID in terms of the
software. Nothing too hardcore (since it’s an intro meeting), and for
about 15-20 minutes.

Once we’ve done that, we’ll probably head to K-bar for a drink and chat!

Hope to see you there!

Fresher’s Mayhem

Everyone had a great time Friday evening, and there were many LEDs and glow sticks to be found. Hopefully everyone who wants to be is now signed up to the mailing list.  If not, you can always email subscribe @ tinkersoc.org and we’ll add you to the mailing list straight away!

Freshers’ Mayhem!

Dear Fellow Tinkerers,

We will have loads (LOADS!) of balloons and glowsticks to hand out this Friday(25th) and we invite you all to an evening of fun and mayhem!

Like we did last year, we will be putting LEDs inside balloons and letting them loose all over the place, if you thought the trees around library looked a bit dull this is your chance to spice it up a little bit :)

We are also planning on doing other stuff too and we will end the night in one of the fine establishments in campus to drink some adult beverages…

So, feel free to join us and drag that Fresher corridor mate of yours as well, you know, for fun and giggles :)

We will be meeting outside the Library (next to Senate) at 18:00 and will probably hang around little bit then make move…

Yours,
TinkerSoc Committee
