Minutes of the RockSoc Committee Meeting

3rd October 2002

 

Present: Baz the God Emperor of RockSoc, Oliver the Forger in Chief, Elizabeth who doesn't have a title cos no one will give her one, Emma

 

Meeting opened: 2028

 

1) Minutes for approval

The following corrections were noted:

The remaining termcards will be taken to the Freshers' Fair, and not the Fresher's Fir

Money has been given to Emma by Fitzwilliam College, and not by fits

The gigs in point 8 will occur in the Lent Term, rather than the Lent Arm as recorded last week.

 

The Secretary thanks those members who sent her e-mails about freshers with trees and financially advantageous medical conditions for their constructive comments. :-)

 

The minutes were approved.

 

2) Treasurer's report

The treasurer reported that the balance at present was (here he made prolonged searching motions) L389.65. After a pause he clarified 'credit' (except that we owe Baz L900)

 

L36.50 was paid in today from WUS.

 

Cheques were written: L27.50 to Emma for Freshers' Flyers

L19 to Elizabeth for stamps to send the termcards.

 

The new balance when these have been paid is L343.50

 

3) Freshers' Fair

We have received confirmation of our stall from CUSU this week. CUSU never leave anything till the last minute of course.

 

Baz will go to Kelsey Kerridge about 1pm and cover the table with a cloth and put flyers on it. This shouldn't be too strenuous. He stated that having done this, he intends to get pissed.

 

Oliver offered to make a banner to be erected on sticks above the stall.

 

Emma has made excellent flyers on red paper (very rock n roll) advertising the October gig on one side and affectively having a copy of the termcard on the other (but without the typos as Emma is considerably better at this sort of thing than the professional printers). Elizabeth has made a hand out explaining who we are in more detail for those who are interested.

 

Elizabeth suggested decorating the stall with Baz's collection of beer bottles. He declined. Another suggestion involved Baz in a thong. He declined this too for some reason. Unfortunately Oliver will be working, as otherwise the committee felt that dressing him up as Rob Halford would be a good idea.

 

The committee request that females who volunteer to man the stall wear small clothes in order to impress the freshers with the good things available if they join the Society (err........). Men are requested to look spiky or otherwise seriously metal.

 

ACTION: Oliver to make a banner

Everyone else to go to Kelsey Kerridge in outrageous clothes

 

4) WUS

All under control. The webpage has been updated.

 

5) Societies Syndicate

Dr Greaves has written the required piece of paper. Hurrah! It has been sent to the Societies' Syndicate. Now it's up to them.

 

6) October gig

The posters arrived. We have 40 of them. The committee remarked that they were very large. Siobhan took some, to give to Stan.

 

7) November gig

This item appeared to consist of members telling jokes about masturbation. The matter is assumed to be under control.

 

8) Lent gigs

No dates have been arranged yet.

 

Oliver said that he was worried that we wouldn't be able to afford it. The committee noted his comment.

 

ACTION: Siobhan to see about dates at the Boat Race

 

9) Termcards

Those members who a) have no e-mail and b) have non-college addresses have been sent termcards by second class post. Those who have no e-mail and have college addresses will be sent this week as if they are sent before the owners are in residence they might be bounced by the porters. An e-mail version will be placed on official later in the week when the undergrads are back and have resubscribed to their mailing lists.

 

ACTION: Elizabeth to do the rest of this

 

10) Webshite

No Oli present. It was notices that Baz's and Oliver's titles had not been changed on the webpage.

 

11) Adoring and abhorring

We abhor:

Stagecoach Cambus. Again.

The general public.

Oliver abhors everyone in the Alma at 2046 on 3rd October.

He also abhors Baz. 3 times.

We also abhor a person called Nunnsy for being a penis, saying the same thing 27 times, and getting chucked out of the Kambar. I have no idea what this is about.

Someone with an interest in current affairs abhors someone who is the leader of a trade union for tube drivers

 

 

Various members expressed their adoration of:

Yes Minister

Joy Division

Sex drugs and rock 'n' Roll

 

Especially the last of those.

 

12) AOB

None
