MINUTES

17/05/99

 

The meeting was called to order at 2043 BST with:

"Be ordered and look this way…".

Once again, all of the committee were present

except Jinx.

1. PWF website.

We are now listed at <http://www.cam.ac.uk/CambUniv/Societies/>

but don’t yet have a link to a webpage. The web warlock informed us that

it is being dealt with.

 

2. Ozzfest II.

It had been suggested earlier that RockSoc purchase

tickets for this (and possibly other major events). Prior to the meeting

there had been much email discussion about this and the possibility of

arranging transport as well/instead.

Potential advantages of bulk buying are that it

would save money on postage, and also make it easier for members to get

tickets. However, RockSoc funds should be used for the benefit of all members

and care must be taken to avoid squandering money.

It was agreed by all that RockSoc should not purchase

any tickets before consulting members. La presidenta is to post to announce

to ascertain:

a) Whether anyone (who has not already got them)

would like to purchase tickets for Ozzfest II through RockSoc.

b) Whether anyone would be interested in transport

from Cambridge on the Sunday (15/8/99).

c) What other major gigs people may be interested

in tickets and/or transport for.

It was decided not to ask non-email members since

there would be too large a delay in getting replies. The secretary is to

order two tickets (for him and the WUS officer) in order to test out the

proposed ticket vendor.

 

3. Posters and flyers for June’s FTOTM.

Alex promised that he would: "do them tonight".

Iain did the wording there and then.

 

4. May Brawl (confirmation of venue & publicity).

The Portland Arms has let us down. Their "probably"

for 12/6/99 has become "no", and 13/6/99 is also off. Baz told us that

they could only offer us 20/6/99. Other venues such as the Boat Race and

various colleges have also been ruled out. APU bar, The Rock and the Rattle

& Hum were mentioned as possible alternatives and Kit is to investigate.

Bands are not a problem, we just need a venue.

It was (re)suggested that if we fail to get a

venue, a trip to (probably) London be arranged instead. The Electric

Ballroom was mentioned, and a coach seemed to be the preferred form of

transport. It was noted that this could probably be arranged in a couple

of weeks and so (for the moment) a local venue will continue to be sought.

Publicity for the event cannot be started until

it is known where/what it will be.

 

5. Progress with the mailing lists.

DD was yet again blamed for ‘rocksoc-official’

and ‘rocksoc-committee’ not being fully operational.

 

6. AOB.

Committee photographs for the website:

Kit gave Alex a photograph (of her sitting in

a corner wearing a cape) to put on the website. The committee photographs

taken at the start of term are to be located (Deano?).

FTOTM flyers:

Alex agreed to go to the printer’s with Iain

tomorrow. Some will be given to the secretary to post out to non ‘rocksoc-announce’

members (non ‘rocksoc-official’ if it is working by then).

Property labels:

The secretary showed the rest of the committee

some "PROPERTY OF CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ROCK SOCIETY" labels that he had

produced. They were admired by all and stuck on files, receipt books, pens

and committee members. Some were given to the WUS officer to put on the

DJ equipment. The secretary was then told that he had far too much spare

time.

 

The meeting was closed at 2109 BST.
