MINUTES

01/03/01

 

 

Present: Gina, Jimmer, Baz, Andy, Oli. Oli wanted it noted that this was

the inaugural Thursday night Rocksoc committee meeting. The meeting was

commenced at 2009.

1/ WORDING OF MOTIONS

It was agreed that some better wording was required for the motions to be

submitted by the Committee. Firstly, it was agreed that Simon Tatham's

suggestion concerning our proposed addition of a clause 13a was more

appropriate than the previous idea, and the proposed motion will now read:

"No committee member may pass the accounts on to another committee member

unless they have been verified by the Senior Treasurer."

Similarly, it was agreed that our proposed change to clause 5 would be

less confusing if it read:

"The committee shall be elected annually at a general meeting."

2/ CHANGES TO CLAUSE 4a

Two different amendments have been suggested to clause 4a, one from David

Damerell and one from the committee. To deal with this potential problem

at the AGM, two solutions were proposed. Baz suggested a initial vote

requiring a 2/3 majority on whether the AGM thinks the clause needs

changing in the first place, followed by a second vote between David's

suggestion, the committee's and 'something else'. Oli suggested an initial

vote between David's suggestion, the committee's, 'something else' and 'no

change', followed by a second vote (requiring the 2/3 majority) to pass

the agreed change. After some bickering everyone submitted to Oli's

suggestion through boredom.

3/ BEDOUIN

Jon Jarrett is making contact with the band in order to get this

finalised. It was agreed to give a similar level of support to the Killing

Miranda gig in June should it be asked for. It was agreed that a May Brawl

would also be held this year - Andy and Baz are looking into it.

4/ NO-ONE STANDING FOR SECRETARY / TREASURER / TOKEN

FOGEY

There is currently no-one standing for the above-mentioned posts, and the

first two are constitutionally obligatory. It was agreed to ask the AGM

whether anyone present would like to stand for the posts in order to sort

out the problem on the night, or whether the new committee should be

mandated to sort the problem next term.

5/ MORE CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES

The Committee are proposing another change to the constitution. We are

proposing that we change the line in clause 6 from reading:

"Ballot papers will be made available by the Secretary on the presentation

of a valid membership card."

to read:

"The Secretary will arrange the voting procedure."

This is because for the last few years (at least) voting at the AGM has

been done by show of hands and it is agreed that this is a quick and

reasonable way of doing this.

6/ AGM ARRANGEMENTS

Jimmer would like it to be known that Tom Tarney is not just a cunt, but a

cunt with herpes, mould and every other venereal disease under the

sun. How Jimmer is privy to this information is unknown, but the

bitterness of his tone prevented people probing too deeply. Oli would like

it to be known that he thinks he's nice because he's letting us use his

lecture theatre. Jimmer is to bring the Rocksoc T-shirts to the AGM in

case anyone wants to buy one. Baz is to turn up at 6.30pm to help set

up. 48 Hobgoblin have been bought by Rocksoc to be purchased at the

AGM. Oli is to buy a society cash box.

7/ CD LIBRARY

Andy is to count the CDs and work out roughly how much it is worth. He

estimated about 100 CDs. We are to mandate the next Committee to catalogue

the library and make better use of it.

8/ HELL HOLE DJs

It was briefly commented by various Committee members that Hell Hole DJs

should probably be Rocksoc members, though no real agreement was ever

reached on this issue and the meeting dissolved around about 2115.
