MINUTES

22/05/00

 

Present: Baz, Andy, Iain, Kit, Oli, Jimmer. With

very little to do this week, the meeting was never 'called to order' as

such, but the first committee-related comment was uttered at 2047 (by Oli

in case you were interested). The rest of this account is necessarily somewhat

anecdotal.

1/ BEER

Oli would just like it to be known that 'Beer

is good - don't miss out!'. Oliver-Michael, who is not drinking on grounds

of being a 'light-weight pussy bastard' and who has given up beer for his

exams, broke down in tears.

2/ BANK MANDATE

Iain had remembered to bring this in this week,

and thus various members of the incoming committee (namely Iain, Oli, Baz

and Andy) signed it. Two signatures are required for a cheque. Allegedly,

it is required that part of the wording of the form be recorded in the

minutes and it appears thusly:

(i) That a bank account or accounts be continued

with Midland Bank plc (the 'Bank') and the Bank is authorised to:

a) pay all cheques and other instructions

for payment signed on behalf of the Society by any two of those listed

overleaf (the 'signatory') whether

any account of the Society is in debit or credit;

b) deliver any item held on behalf of the Society

by the Bank in safe custody against the written receipt of the signatory;

and c) accept the signatory as fully empowered

to act on behalf of the Society in any other transactions with the Bank.

(ii) That any debt incurred to the Bank under this

mandate shall, in the absence of written agreement by the Bank to the contrary,

be repayable on demand.

(iii) That the Secretary is authorised to supply

the Bank as and when necessary with lists of persons to sign, give receipts

and act on behalf of the Society, and that the Bank may rely upon such

lists.

(iv) That these resolutions remain in force until

cancelled by notice in writing to the Bank signed by the Chairman or Secretary

acting or claiming to act on behalf of the Society, and the Bank shall

be entitled to act on such notice whether the resolutions have been validly

carried out of not.

On a separate note, several members of the committee

insisted that it be recorded in the minutes that Jimmer recently got ID'd

for buying Tippex. And there was much hilarity. Kit also wanted it known

that 'Andy has sticky fingers' although what prompted this comment is unknown.

At this point (2101) Tom turned up (almost) in

time to attend his first committee meeting.

3/ MAY BRAWL

The mail shot for this should go out tomorrow,

if the Secretary gets round to buying a rubber stamp saying 'If not delivered,

please return to'. The use of a potato was suggested, but dismissed as

facetious. Andy provided Baz with the flyers, and has promised to try to

get the tickets ready for tomorrow's WUS. There was some muttering about

people not being able to go as this was the night after the Maiden gig,

though Iain dismissed these people as 'lightweight pussy bastards'.

3/ T-SHIRTS

Oliver-Michael (who had stopped crying and was

sipping a pineapple juice) supplied Oli with the T-shirt design. It has

been decided to have the Rocksoc logo and the slogan 'Are you going to

Wake Up Screaming?' on the back with the screaming face on the front. Oli

is to get a cheque from Iain and take the design to the printers this week.

4/ THE WUS OFFICER

It is widely suspected that Andy has still not

paid his membership fee, despite claiming otherwise. He looked very guilty

and was admonished by Oli 'The Demon Headmaster' Wade.

5/ FLYERS

Tom was given a stack of new flyers to hand out

at APU, and Baz and Oli have kept the rest.

The meeting was finally closed at 2110, although

various people attempted to prolong matters by suggesting motions such

as 'Who thinks Pitchshifter are crap?' and 'Bollocks'. Kit commented that

Baz's minutes were likely to be even more irritating than Oli's. Hurt and

offended, the Secretary left to go home, having been warned that if he

got the minutes out before the pub shut, he was a 'lightweight pussy bastard'.
