<p>Hi everyone!</p>
<p>For those of you who don't know, I'm James, the outgoing UCC
president for 2020.</p>
<p>I'm sending out this email to everyone who our records indicate
signed up fresh in 2020 or 2021, or has expressed interest in
joining the club this year. For those of you new to the club,
welcome, and for those of you thinking of signing up, we hope to
see you around.</p>
<p><b>Fresher Welcome</b><br>
</p>
<p>UCC's Fresher Welcome 2021 is on this evening, starting from 4pm
in the clubroom. It's a great chance to get to know your fellow
members, create your club account (if you haven't already), and
learn more about what we have to offer. There will be games, and
pizza (free for new and returning 2020 members, $5 otherwise). See
our Facebook event for more: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>If you haven't yet signed up or paid your membership, this will
be a great opportunity to do so.</p>
<p><b>Annual General Meeting</b><br>
</p>
<p>Our Annual General Meeting is also coming up on this Thursday at
5pm. That's where members like you get to have a say on how the
club is run. We'll be electing our new 2021 committee, whose job
it is to oversee the day-to-day running of the club. If you're a
first-year student, there's even a position dedicated to you: the
Fresher Rep, who makes sure new members have a voice on the
committee. We'd love to see as many nominations as possible, but
even if you don't plan on running, your vote is important!

<p><b>Getting Started with Linux</b></p>
<p>The first club Tech Talk of the year is "Getting Started with
Linux", presented by me. It's on 9 March at 5:30pm, and we'll be
going over how to get Linux up and running, and the most important
tips and tools to start making use of it. This will come in handy
if you're studying Computer Science!</p>
<p>We've got many more interesting events in the works for the year,
so stay tuned. The best way for you to keep advised of important
UCC announcements is to create your account with us (if you
haven't already). That'll automatically put you onto the mailing
list. You can also join us on Discord via the following invite: <a
