Minutes of the RockSoc Committee meeting
6th Mar 2003
 
Present: Baz, Emma, Elizabeth, Jester, Ben, Oli on time, Oliver late
 
Meeting opened: 2038
 
The Secretary wrote the words' For the last time' in VERY BIG LETTERS in the minute book. She ate pasta as well.
Oli made notes ion the agenda, which some people found worrying. Emma discovered that she had lost her purse and went to look for it, which meant that her contribution to the meeting ended at this point.
 
1) Minutes for approval
Baz noted that I had misspelled the word 'Nakhrath'. He taught me how to spell it. It was also noted that the committee intended to 'pay in the monay'
 
2) Treasurer's report
The treasurer wasn't here yet.
 
3) AGM
The deposit is paid, the booking is confirmed, Oliver promised to doublecheck the vote counting, Baz said he didn't intend to carry the decks from Cherry Hinton.
 
The committee felt reasonably convinced that there was going to be one tomorrow, in fact.
 
4) Gig on Saturday
Emma will put this on -official
Baz will hand out flyers for it at King's Cellars
This is going to happen too. It will be great. Be there.
 
5) King's Cellars.
Baz had a little rant. Actually it was quite a big rant and he's been practicing it to anyone who will listen all week. Ben had a rant too. The words 'Kings are wankers' was mentioned. Kings have changed their minds about several things, including the idea of RockSoc being the promoters. Now Kings are going to be the promoters. They blame the Ents Committee (Committee?? At Newnham we just had one person. Perhaps that was why things got done)
 
It is now also 'Students only' although in theory each current student will be allowed to bring 2 non-students.
 
This is going to happen. It might be quite good.
 
We couldn't think of much else to say about this, so moved on to:
6) Gigs next term
Emma says she will book the Boat Race on Saturday when she can' hold Stan by the neck and watch him write the dates in.
 
At this point Oli enquired about the Bat race which he has apparently put on the website. Baz said that he wants to make stuffed bats and a pulley. Then he wants to take same into a field.
 
Oliver said that he thought the committee ought to throw rubber bats at each other.
 
ACTION: Oli not to take the Bat Race so seriously
 
7) Record auction
Bids close later tonight, CDS can be collected from the AGM, the gig or next WUS. Oli worried that Elizabeth was going to bid after the auction closed. Elizabeth asked Baz for permission to hit Oli, but Baz refused to give it.
 
8) Webshite
Ben said there should be more spandex.
 
9) An indie promoter
...has mailed us offering us some indie bands for a gig.
 
ACTION: Emma to tell him 'No' and point him at IndieSoc
 
10) Alternative agenda of Mr Wade
Baz said 'Wade you'd better not have one' in a threatening manner, like a man who really wanted to not have to chair any more meetings.
Someone said 'Seating'. He was promptly hit.
 
Oli then said a number of things about the website, but was unable to explain why he had not raised these when the item 'Website' came up. Aparently he wanted an alternative discussion of webshite. He told us all off for not putting minutes and setlists on it.
 
Elizabeth asked him to separate RockSoc and non-rockSoc events in the past events section.
 
Then we all threatened Oli with cutlery.
 
ACTION: Elizabeth to put minutes on the website
Ben to put setlists on the website
Oli to make the past events organized so RockSoc are separate.
 
11) AOB
The treasurer has a mandate.
 
The report of the last gig still hasn't been put before the committee. Why not?
 
Last WUS made L80.50
 
The bank account contains L1133.24
 
12) The committee recommends
Tom McRae
Iggy and the Stooges
The Offspring
Dragonforce
Dinonychus
 
Elizabeth can spell palaeontologist.
 
Everyone said that they'd be at Pitchshifter next week instead of the committee meeting.
 
Baz forgot to close the meeting so presumably its still open.
