Present: Oli, Roz, Gina, Jimmer, Andy, Baz. The meeting was commenced at
2111.
1/ SECRETARY'S BOOK
Baz demonstrated the nice new Secretary's Book - it is orange. It received
a warm reception, with Roz commenting 'Nice action'.
2/ THURSDAY REQUEST NIGHT
Max and Ryan at the Alma want to pull the Thursday request night. It has
something of a publicity failure, and so the new format will involve Max
and Ryan paying us a token fee for the use of the decks and they will play
what music they want. It will still be a rock night of some description,
but there will no longer all requests and it seems inevitable that the
music will take a more commercial bent. This seems particularly ironic
seeing as we've just moved our committee meetings to Thursday nights as
well. Baz in particular was very concerned that we seem to have three
fairly commercial rock nights and now no outlet for more obscure and
esoteric branches of rock. Andy stated that hopefully WUS will be able to
allow more 'alternative' forms of rock now that we have the Hell Hole. The
committee are going to look into other suggestions. There will not be one
this week anyway, due to the Marillion gig, and from next week Ryan and
Max will take over.
3/ HELL HOLE PUBLICITY
Andy is organising a publicity campaign, and wants ideas and
volunteers. Oli is making flyers and posters and Baz is to contact Varsity
and The Cambridge Student (about WUS as well). The next Hell Hole night
will take place on March 8th 2001.
4/ AGM
Trinity Hall bar may be able to get (48?) Hobgoblin for us, although we
will not be able to take any of our own alcohol into the Hall.
At this point (2135), Liz arrived meaning that we had a full
committee. Gasp.
The committee will be proposing the motion that we change clause 4a of the
constitution from:
"The Society shall be run by a committee of no more than eight
members. This committee shall include a President, a Secretary and a
junior treasurer, plus other members deemed necessary by the electing
AGM."
to:
"The Society shall be run by a committee of no more than eight
members. This committee shall include a President, a Secretary and a
junior treasurer, plus other members deemed necessary by the outgoing
committee and confirmed by the electing AGM."
Related to this, if this went through, it will be necessary to change
clause 5 from:
"The committee shall be elected at the AGM"
to:
"The committee shall be elected at a general meeting."
A further motion which the Committee will be proposing at the AGM will be
to introduce a new clause 13a to read:
"The senior treasurer shall be required to verify the accounts before
they
are handed over from one member of the committee to another."
5/ MARILLION
The Boat Race are sorting everything for us, and Andy is no longer taking
reservations. We have arranged a discount on Blaze tickets for Rocksoc
members (a quid off advance tickets, maybe on the night as well). This
should be e-mailed to official and put on the website as soon as Andy has
finalised it. It is duly noted at this point that the website is looking
really good at the moment (although the minutes are still not
up?). Bedouin is being sorted by Andy as we speak and is expected to
arrive at the end of April.
6/ JOBS FOR BAZ
Baz is to contact CUSU about changing the Societies Directory entry and is
to speak to Varsity and TCS about getting our Rock Nights in there every
time they're on.
The meeting was closed at 2155.
