Hello all, A reminder of upcoming competitions, from the previous email. Most have now closed, but the Jamie Macdonald memorial and Kent Open are still open, though the Jamie one closes tomorrow so hurry up if you’re intending to go. Our very own Jed will be going to the London Area Open on the 7th of May, so if you’re in the area consider going to spectate and support! As for regular sessions, we will be starting again on Wednesday 4th May with our regular schedule. So for those who aren’t busy celebrating Star Wars day, hope to see you there!

One of them is quite soon, so sorry about the short notice (I’m not great at my job), and they’re all relatively nearby so transport isn’t too difficult. We don’t currently subsidise non-BUCS competitions so you’ll have to enter and pay for yourself, but if you are entering please do put your names in the sheet for our own record keeping and so we can contact you if needed for whatever reason. https://imperiallondon-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/nfg18_ic_ac_uk/EZx-D...
