MINUTES

21/02/00

 

The meeting was called to order at 2045; all

were present.

1. AGM motion to reduce Rocksoc funds.

This had been proposed by Dave Tyler, who was

(still) concerned that Rocksoc was not spending enough money on its present

members and also that a large amount of money could be liable to be embezzled.

It was pointed out that we had approximately the same amount of money that

we started with (£900). It was also noted that it would be impractical

to have a set amount and aim never to exceed it - instead the motion should

be along the lines of "Rocksoc should attempt to reduce the float...".

It was decided that Dave's suggestion of £200 was too small an amount,

and £500 would be better. There then followed something about Kit

involving sticks & knives but sadly the words written down no longer

mean anything.

 

2. AGM Treasurer nominations.

It was decided to leave it as a fight between

the two candidates, allowing Roz Marsh to enter late.

 

3. Senior Treasurer.

Oli is to ask Dr. Greaves again. It is not considered

urgent as we already have this year's accounts signed by the old one.

 

4. Violation.

Iain has already requested a demo CD from the

aforementioned band who had emailed us asking about gigs.

 

5. "rocksoc-announce" mailing list.

We were informed that only 90 members were on

announce (and 50 on chat); as new members were now automatically put on

official, the other mailing lists are suffering (total members = 248, approximately

170 with email). It was agreed that announce should be publicised more

(possibly at WUS) so more people would get the committee meeting minutes

and personal announcements.

 

6. Rocksoc microphone.

This has now (finally) been purchased and was

in fact in the WUS Officer's pocket as we discussed it. Jinx made the obvious

joke and there were cries of "Give Oli 5 minutes to write it all down."

and "Oli should learn shorthand.".

 

7. Final AGM issues.

It will be at 8:00pm this Thursday at the Fresher

& Firkin. Voting will be by counting hands. The candidate(s) will go

out while the vote is taking place, and will be informed of the result

when they return.

The new committee will not be required to attend

committee meetings until next term (the changeover term), but can turn

up if they want to (although they will not be able to vote).

Someone then said "[Baz] has lost his cherry...

in the middle of the pub...on the table.", which of course deserved recording.

Kit pleaded: "Can we close the meeting before anything else gets

written down?", followed by: "Oli - the minutes would be a lot easier if

you did not write down all the quotes.".

The meeting was closed at 2110. In contrast to

the previous week, this had used up 6 sides of notepaper. We then remembered

the suggestion that Rocksoc should purchase a laminating machine. It was

decided that we should get one (as they were not too expensive and we had

lots of money) and Oli & Baz were tasked with getting one from Staples

the following day, so that we would be able to use it after the AGM.
