# Scottish Technology Club Bulletin — Week 3, 2026

It's been a busy few days - CGI unfortunately cancelled hosting our Personal
Websites Jam on Tuesday, and the Data Science and Technology Meetup on
Wednesday, so I've been scrambling to find a replacement venue and sponsor. We
should have a place secured, and I will announce the details later today. Thanks
to the folks who have offered support, and everyone else that replied to my
[LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jamiemchale_help-weve-had-a-last-minute-cancellation-activity-7415328778245316608-CrUr)
to spread the word. I really appreciate when the community steps up! Hopefully
the Data Science and Technology Meetup can find a place too.

Events are now starting to pick up now that we are a few weeks into the new
year. I've added specific city pages to
[the website](https://www.scottishtechnology.club/cities) so you can browse
events, coworking and jobs in your location. If you want to contribute a
coworking listing then open a PR or issue on our
[Github Repository](https://github.com/scottishtechnologyclub/spaces).
