+I've finally finished all my assignments and interviews (thank god), and after a little day trip to London I am thoroughly exhausted. Why don't we get a reading week? Why must CS students be so hated? Who knows, but I think we're all well overdue a break. Instead, we're running EVEN MORE EVENTS this week, so I guess attending those is as close as we'll be getting to a break. Also, our AGM is in a little over 2 weeks, so remember to get your membership before the end of **Wednesday** to be eligible to vote! More details coming soon. 
+
+Thank you to everyone who attended WASD - whether as a runner, commentator, helping out with tech (who deserve a SPECIAL thank you for their sacrifices), or just to watch - we raised £1,190 over the weekend for SpecialEffect, and we couldn't have done it without everyone on the day and in the months leading up to it <3
+
+As term starts to pick up, a reminder that we have our usual welfare officers always here to help you: Serene (@thiswasdumb) and Raven (@raven0034)

+
+#### 🕘Monday 10th Feb 8pm - Late📍[Ivy House -> Kasbah](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aDgmbryR5Kp9sq11A)
+#### *No Monday Pub???*
+
+Instead of our usual Monday pub meal this week, we have our white shirt circle at Ivy House. Remember to wear a white shirt you don't mind being graffitied, and a sharpie!
+
+You can meet us at Ivy House at 8pm, or join us at TBar around 7:15pm where we'll be taking the bus into Coventry. As this isn't an on campus circle, no tickets are required!

+
+#### 🕘Tuesday 11th Feb 7pm - 9pm📍[Phantom Coach](https://goo.gl/maps/wAptxmC4L7uajZEPA)
+#### *I may not have a valentine, but at least I have alcohol*
+
+Since we're going circling this Monday, our weekly pub meal has been moved to Tuesday (I would not advise drinking at pub if you come to circle). However, if like a certain Gamer™️, you're skipping circle, Phoach has an offer for a £5 bottle of wine if you buy two mains, so come and bring your valentine (or very good friend), or just buy two Mixed Grill platters to wash it all down*.
+
+*Please eat and drink responsibly, even if you're spending valentines alone this year. It'll be okay.

+#### *CS students? A valentine?*
+
+It's valentines day so love is in the air! Unfortunately, we're CS students so ~~almost~~ none of us have valentines - why not spend it with our gaming coordinators instead?
+
+Exec may come dressed for the occasion, feel free to join us 👀
+
+And don't worry, we'll still have our usual games set up for everyone to play. Who knows, maybe you'll find the one at FNG!
