MINUTES

22/01/01

 

 

Present: Oli, Andy, Jimmer, Baz. The meeting was officially commenced when

we finally became quorate at 2114.

1/ POSTERS

Oli had a bit of a rant about the state of the Marillion posters produced

by Andy. He felt that it should have been on A3 rather than A4 - this had

been the plan but Jimmer had been unable to do this on his lab

photocopying card. He also felt there should have been some colour and

links to the Rocksoc and Marillion web pages. He felt that as this is the

biggest gig Rocksoc has ever organised we should be going all out on the

publicity and a better poster would get a better response. Andy felt that

this was not the case. As Oli appeared to have a clearer idea of what he

wanted than anyone else, he agreed to have a go at another one. It was

agreed that he should have a look round some printing shops and that

Rocksoc should pay for the production of 50 posters and 1000 flyers

(miniature versions of the posters). A maximum cost of £50 was deemed

to

be appropriate. It was also noted at this juncture that we need 300

double-sided info flyers and 300 modified WUS flyers for the forthcoming

mailshot.

2/ NAME FOR THE THURSDAY ROCK NIGHT

Various suggestions had been submitted over the course of the week. Some

of the better (and more serious) ones included Deviant, Korrupted, Hell

Hole and Un-Laced. A vote was taken for the new name of the Thursday Rock

Night at the Q Club, and it was decided to be 'THE HELL HOLE' by a vote of

4-0.

3/ PEACEVILLE TRIP

Andy is going to hire a minibus and block book 17 tickets at a cost of £8

each. It was agreed that we would sell these tickets to Rocksoc members

for £10 and that Rocksoc funds will make up the difference.

4/ AGM

Baz is going to speak to the porters at Christ's again about rooms for the

AGM, although King's possibly looks like the best option as they will

allow us to take our own beer. It will be held in the last week of

February or the first week of March. Somebody is going to forward last

year's e-mail announcement to Baz. The positions which are to be contested

are: President, Secretary, Treasurer, WUS Officer, Webthing, Token Fogey

and Publicity Officer. The Anglia liaison officer is to remain

informal. Nominations will have to be sent to Baz by a week before the

AGM. Manifestos will be published on official through Baz and viewable via

the website. The arrangements will be the same as last year - candidates

must be nominated and seconded by two different Rocksoc members. Voting

will be absolutely members only. Baz is to mail official to announce all

the details. Anyone without cards will have to mail Baz to get a new one

sent out. Any motions are to be submitted to rocksoc-committee. We may

need someone to be on the door.

The meeting was closed at 2218.
