MINUTES

01/05/00

 

Present: Oli, Baz, Andy,

Jimmer, Gina, Kit, Iain. The Meeting kicked off

around 2045 and was accompanied by beer and 'Paranoid' and 'Ace of Spades'

from the jukebox. On repeat.

1. GINA SORTING OUT A MAP OF CAMBRIDGE TO SHOW

PEOPLE WHERE THINGS ARE

Unfortunately still not happened, but Gina promised

that this will be sorted out this week, and that it will be up to Dave

Tyler's criteria.

2. THE WUS OFFICER'S IMPENDING EXPIRATION

Andy's met membership is due to run out very soon,

but he promised to give me some money before the next WUS. On other

membership related business, I'll be sending out an e-mail to any new members

who haven't received a membership card yet - if you could e-mail me back

I'll get one to you this week.

3. MAY BRAWL

At the moment there appear to be problems.

we can't hold it at the APU because of their summer ball, so our original

plan for a 'mini-festival' is out the window. However a smaller event

was decided upon - Oli promised to get in touch with the Portland Arms

to see if they'll have us sometime between 15th and 22nd June (and if not

maybe try some other pubs). I promised to e-mail some bands and see

if any are interested. At this point Kit complained about having

to sit through Slayer in order to see Iron Maiden - the appropriate abuse

should be directed to ces31@cam.ac.uk. The rest of the committee

would like to distance themselves from such extremist nonsense.

4. TRANSPORT TO MAIDEN

As so many members of Rocksoc are going to the

Maiden gig in June, the possibility of a minibus was discussed. Andy

said he'd e-mail rocksoc-official to see how many people are going. It

was agreed that if enough people to fill a minibus were going, Rocksoc

could contribute to the cost.

5. MAIDEN PLAY-BACK NIGHT

Kit suggested that we have some sort of album

play-back night on the day the new Iron Maiden album comes out (29th May?),

where we'll play the album, then follow it with a couple of hours of classic

Maiden and the obligatory gumbying. Kit is going to get in touch

with the Fresher and Firkin and try and sort out some flyers. There

then followed a discussion concerning ways to improve turn-out at FTOTM

and the Monday pub meets. Suggestions included the return of things

like the Rocksoc pub quizzes, pub crawls and pool nights. All of

these ideas would really be important for the beginning of next term and

attracting new members.

6. CUSU STUFF FROM LAST WEEK

The forms concerning stalls at the Freshers' Fair

and the societies' directory were filled in and left with either Oli or

Iain (I can't remember, I was quite drunk by this stage), who said they'd

sort out the cheques and hand the forms in to CUSU. I said I'd get

in touch with CUSU about selling membership and T-shirts at the Fair, and

find out whether we can play music.

7. T-SHIRTS

We still don't have any decent suggestions - Oli

is going to spam the mailing lists to see if anyone has any better ideas.

Be warned, if no-one comes up with anything, our best suggestion so far

is printing a naked photo of Dave Tyler on the front.

8. ANGLIA LIASON OFFICER

Tom didn't turn up to the meeting again.

Kit has promised to 'kick his arse'.

The meeting ended at about 2145. Me and

Jimmer went and asked the bar staff if there was any possibility of getting

any decent music on the jukebox, and have handed in a list of requests.
