<p>
|
|
Again our lovely <a href="constitution">constitution</a> (it
|
|
really <i>is</i> quite a read, see for yourself!) answers this
|
|
question. In short, we exist to promote knowledge of and interest
|
|
in computer science as well as allowing those interested in
|
|
computer science to talk to each other. We have an <a
|
|
href="../office/">office</a> where members get together, a
|
|
library of computer
|
|
science books available to our members, computer accounts on our various
|
|
machines and much more. Frequently we host <a
|
|
href="../events/">events</a> related to computing, including talks,
|
|
tutorials and demonstrations.
