1. Welcome
A warm welcome to all new members to the UCC. Sign ups were again numerous
this year and there are many new faces around the club room. I encourage
any members who have joined but not yet come into our club room (located
in Cameron Hall above the Guild Tavern) to do so.
On O-Day we have 61 new members join our ranks and 30 new accounts were
made soon after with 55 returning members also joining the ranks. A big
thank you to all that helped out on O-Day.
2. Events
We've already had two successful events run this semester which many more
to come! Firstly, thanks to all that helped run the Fresher Welcome held
on 6th of March. It was fantastic to see the turn out of freshers, many
of whom have stuck around. Monday Night at the Movies is also underway
with our first screening of Wargames occuring on the 16th. Thanks to David
Adam for organising this event.
All members are encouraged to attend our next Monday Night at the Movies
where we will be showing the classic TRON on the 30th. Pizza at 1800 with
shorts at 1900 and the main feature kicking off at 1930.
All events are listed in UCC's calendar, which you can subscribe to at:

3. Getting Started
Firstly all new members should have received a fresher guide on O-Day. If
you have not received one, or you've managed to lose it among the pile of
useless papers you've received since then, there should be some floating
around the club room or you can grab one at:

If you have not yet activated your UCC account, come into the club room
and ask for either a door, committee or wheel member. They will be able to
create an account for you and show you arround our systems.
4. Communication
Members with weblogs are welcome to join our Planet.
http://planet.ucc.asn.au/
All that is required is a sensible RSS or Atom feed and to contact the
Planet Master via planet at ucc.asn.au.
New members haven't learnt to say no have been subscribed to ucc-announce,
the Announcements mailing list, but you may also want to subscribe to the
general chatter UCC lists. A lot of the running of the club is conducted
on these lists and we encourage input from all members.

We also encourage members to hang around in our irc channel, run on
mussel. You can connect to it inside the clubroom by directing your irc
client to mussel or if you are outside the club room direct your client to
irc.ucc.asn.au You'll find most regular members in #ucc.
5. Renewing Accounts

encouraged to do so. Payment methods can be found at:
