MINUTES

1/11/99

 

The meeting was called to order at 2049 BST when

it was decided (by the Token Fogey) not to wait any longer for the WUS

Officer.

1. Price of the gig (X-Fest).

It was agreed that the price should be as small

as possible (and lower for members), although in order to cover (part of)

the cost of the Portland Arms, the bands and the events insurance, some

charge should be made. In the absence of the WUS Officer, £2 (£1

members) was provisionally agreed upon.

 

2. Webs(h)ite.

La Presidenta assured us that it would continue

to be improved and that there was no need for us to get a separate webthing

to do it. DD is apparently still working on removing the popup banner.

Also, it was suggested that (MP3) samples of the X-Fest bands be put up

for people to listen to. A few locations were suggested, but in the end

it was agreed that it was better to link directly to samples on the bands’

websites (and also the websites themselves).

 

3. Events insurance for the X-Fest.

It was agreed that Baz should sort this out, and

do so immediately. Iain needs to be asked how much we should insure it

for. Kit pointed out that "Endsleigh are arses" and advised us not to use

them.

 

4. Brumfest numbers/flyers.

We were informed that 25 "tickets" had been sold

so far. It was agreed that more would probably be sold, although we may

not quite fill the coach, although this was not a problem. It was noted

that at the last WUS, Jinx (an old person who many new members did not

know) going round asking people if they wanted to buy a small piece of

paper was a bit dodgy. The Secretary is to sort out obtaining the proper

tickets ASAP.

At 2101, Andy gave the Secretary a very big and

very nice Sainsbury’s cookie.

Shortly afterwards, Horrocks came out with: "it’s

the first time that I’ve seen Oli in trousers since June".

This was followed by Kit saying something about

the committee not being arsed.

 

5. Publicity for November.

Jinx was then laughed at for talking to people

who weren’t there ("Hello Iain…"), as it was wondered whether the WUS Officer

had done the X-Fest flyers yet (so that they could be posted to non-email

members).

It was agreed that the Secretary should send details

of the FTOTM to email members, and also email the Freshers Fair list about

WUS, FTOTM, Brumfest & X-Fest.

 

 

The meeting was closed at 2106.

 

 

ADDENDUM:

Iain arrived at 2110, and informed us that he

had got the X-Fest in the local paper, with the price advertised at £3.

Therefore it will be £3 for non-members and £1 for members.

He said that flyers would be done the next day and it was decide to include

Brumfest flyers in the mailing.
