MINUTES

23/11/00

 

Gina, Oli, Roz and Jimmer vaguely drifted

together at 9:30ish (9:25:43 according to Jimmer's watch). Baz and Andy

were away seeing Immortal, and Liz was working (still). This meeting was

called as Baz had had to have a meeting by himself last Monday and the

quiz needed organising.

1. Rocksoc Quiz

**************

The quiz is to be the "Exciting Grand Finale

Christmas Quiz" which everyone will want to attend.

It will be held at the next Thursday Rock Night,

permission having been granted by the Alma (with the proviso that we publicise

it lots). Jimmer questioned the point in going mad with advertising, suggesting

"we flogged Brumfest to death and no-one turned up". He withdrew this comment

when Oli pointed out that actually almost as many people as last year came

along.

The quiz is to be publicised on the website, in

a message to Official (by Baz and Jimmer) and by many many posters which

will be produced by Jimmer for Monday. Jimmer then asked (seemingly randomly)

if anyone had got enough fonts. Roz on announcing she had 650 received

a "John Sullivan" look from Gina. Scary (for both Roz and Gina).

Oli and Jimmer then gibbered on in a highly

complex fashion concerning the quiz, all of which has been censored to

prevent naughty people cheating. The Alma had put nice bottles with candles

on every table to distract people from the top-secret discussion, the circulating

pieces of wax being most interesting.

The two conspirators arranged to meet on

Saturday to sort it out prior to Oli turning into a woman. Jimmer also

needed help with anagrams as he had no scrabble board, and could not merely

rearrange letters by hand.

The quiz is to start at 9pm with hundreds of questions

and Roz decided Jimmer should dress up as Muttley from Wacky races.

Jimmer decided this was not a good idea.

 

Oli called a vote to make Jimmer wear a quizmaster's hat:

For:

3

Against:

1

Abstentions:

0

 

There are to be prizes possibly in the form

of drinks, posters and other exciting rocksoc things for the overall winners,

winners of some of the rounds and for the most original team-name.

We then decided Jimmer should be wrapped

in tinsel. Jimmer quote: "eat my shit".

Sweeties will also be provided for everyone, possibly

guitar-shaped Haribo ones if such things exist. Marshmallows were also

discussed, but whilst some committee members seem to like them it was generally

agreed that they are only good to burn.

Jimmer proposed we have fake nude Britney

Spears posters as prizes.

He then decided a nude picture of Julia

Sommerville would be better.

Oli after controlling Jimmer in a manner to be

left undisclosed then proposed a round-the-pub pass-the-parcel for before

the quiz. This sounded fun and Liz, Roz and Gina's wisdom will find things

to put in the parcel(s) and parcel the said things.

Giant Jenga and Twister were also seen as

possibilities. Gina then embarked on a graphic account of a game of strip

twister ("never again") which culminated in the revelation that John wears

TURQUOISE underpants!!!

The Jenga of the Alma is currently at the Brewery but Ryan is going to

get it back for us for Thursday.

A bubble-blowing machine was also briefly

considered but anyone who gets bored can always play pool.

2. Was Brumfest good?

*******************

Yes. Let's go again next year.

At this point, the committee's shocking burst

of energy vanished and the meeting was closed at 9:52:59.
