New Members
===========

Welcome to all our new members!

If you haven't been up to the clubroom yet, come and check it out. We're
located on the second floor of Cameron Hall, above the UWA Tavern.
You'll find the entrance to Cameron Hall in the courtyard between the
Tavern and Shenton House (indigenous studies).

Better directions:

Many of you have already created your accounts, but if you haven't, come
on up to the clubroom and ask for a Wheel or Committee member. A UCC
account is the only way to access most of our systems and networks, so
your UCC membership is useless without it.

More on accounts:

Events
======

There are some important events coming up that everyone - especially
freshers! - should know about:

Lrn2Linux: Friday 4 March 2011 from ~5:30PM (subject to change) in the
clubroom - if you want to know a little more about the Linux command line
and some of the weird, wonderful and useful things you can do, come down
before the fresher welcome for some hands on tutelage.

Fresher Welcome: Friday 4 March 2011 from 7:00PM in the clubroom - come
along and get to know UCC members old and new, tour the machine room, and
eat some pizza. Pizza is FREE for first-time members!

UCC AGM: Tuesday 8 March 2011 from 1:00 PM in the Guild Meeting Room - the
most important committee meeting of the year, where we decide who will run
the club for the next twelve months. See previous email from Conrad for
more details on what is going to be covered.

O'Day
=====

O'Day went off with a bang again this year, with beautiful weather and a
good number of sign-ups. The best part being the number of freshers we've
already seen in the clubroom creating accounts and hanging out.
