We have a volunteer social on Saturday 10th December starting at 19:30 UK time. Google meet link - https://meet.google.com/ttd-bdai-yby. Our socials are very relaxed with lots of chatting and some casual party/group games. All volunteers are most welcome :)

We shipped an update to the Kit Software 🎉 Version 2023.1.0 has a number of improvements, including the necessary changes for the reduced marker size in the last rules update. You can read about them in our announcement post

The SR2023 competition will be held on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of April 2023. We're working hard on confirming the venue but hope that you can at least mark the date in your calendars!

Unfortunately due to circumstances outside of our control, we had to pivot the December Tech Day to be virtual. We instead held it on our Discord server with volunteers on hand to help with any issues or problems the competitors had.

The Kit team is planning to release a kit software update after the new year on 2023-01-07. If you have any ideas for software improvements that could be implemented before them, let us know in #kit-software on Slack.
