Reports

Keir

  • now closed the sign ups for parenting scheme, matching up kids now and will send out emails for families


Five Random Freshers

  • Ash and Keir were discussing whether to do a separate social for that, but not sure what form it would take as there was no room booking for that, maybe something on zoom

  • Alicia has two room bookings confirmed, meeting room 1 for 23rd oct (6pm - 9pm), we can possible make into a five randone freshers social or alternatively we can do a university room booking
