SUMS Meeting -- Soccer

Hello SUMS members,

I apologise once again for the lateness of this message. I have had several 
requests and offers for talks (with some quite interesting subject matter 
too I must add), so it took me and the executives quite a while to decide 
which one to hold this week. In the end (and after discussions with a few 
SUMS members) we thought bugger it, stuff the talks, we’ll play soccer 
instead. Anyway, 3 talks in a row is something we’re trying to avoid (we 
don’t want you guys to think we’re that tedious).
 
So come all to Victoria Park (it’s the big green area near Carslaw. The 
green stuff is called grass). Don’t worry if your coordination skills are 
lacking, I guarantee that all skill levels will be present (except really, 
really good). There might even be some Nerds FC players, and we all know it 
doesn’t get much worse than that in terms of ability......
 
Plus, we’ll be playing Pure vs Applied (stats can pick a side), so each area 
has the opportunity to show the others how REAL MATHEMATICIANS play soccer. 
Or something along those lines. Bragging rights are not something that 
should be taken lightly.
 
Event: SUMS Soccer
Location: Victoria Park
Date/Time: Wednesday, March 25, 1-2pm
 
If it’s raining, we’ll stay in Carslaw 452 and play games/solve cubes/play 
cards. Yes, I know real mathematicians play soccer in all weather 
conditions, but nobody turns up when it rains. In any case, I hope to see 
you on Wednesday.
 
SUMS President
