[CompSoc-News] Fwd: C&S Callout for Walkout Wednesday

[Daniel Heffernan]

Skynet members,

Next Wednesday is Walkout Wednesday – a protest organised to convince  
the university to fulfil their promises to Clubs and Societies  
outlined in the Alcohol Policy. Details are in the email forwarded  
below.

Skynet is not running an event on Wednesday but there are lots of  
things to see and do on Wednesday afternoon and if the university is  
convinced to fulfil their obligations to C&S, it will give us a nice  
time slot to run our events.

Daniel
President, UL Computer Society
