The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ratified.
RedBrick Room
- Nikki was unable to contact Richie Kelly.
- Cillian had mailed James Healy and will arrange a meeting but he
is unsure how useful it will be. Also he tells us that Colm will give us a printed copy of the DCU strategic plan.
Kevin Warwick Talk
- Elaine has been unable to get a copy of the Powerpoint presentation.
- Colin has been looking for 80 euro. We have been allocated 60 euro
and this may be increased because of the webcast part of the event.
- Eoin and Shane will tell Joe Morris about the talk.
- We must book a room in the Clubs and Socs area for the interview.
Rag Week Ball
- Isaac Butt can be booked for E400, they will throw in a DJ for E450.
- Jilted are booked. Des Bishop (comedian) is almost booked. In case he
cannot do it, he can recommend a number of other comedians.
- Eoin suggested that some acts might perform for free because Rag Week
events are for charity.
- It was agreed to start advertising the event immediately, then properly
when the lineup is confirmed.
- Nikki suggested using the electronic ticker-tape sign in the hub.
- A vote was passed to call this event the alt.rag.ball.
- A scanner can be used to identify RedBrick members
when tickets are being booked.
- Elaine requested a committee meeting on the Friday prior to the event.
Table Quiz
- Arrangements all made and questions being compiled.
- Trevor will assist with the typing up of the questions.
- Eoin will supply a laptop for the projector on the night, Trevor will
supply Eoin with the necessary video leads.
- Tables will be E16.
- T-shirts and baseball cap quotes are being obtained. Shane suggested
asking the comedian to wear these at the alt.rag.ball.
- We will run a t-shirt design competition.
Admin Issues
- Dermot informed the committee that, within the space of two days, HEAnet
offered us an Alpha 1000 and CSD another Alpha (formerly tolka.dcu.ie).
- We are going to take both. These must be transported somehow.
- Grainne informed us that we have been allocated money for 10 DLT tapes.
- We may look for a special deal from HP for this (Eoin to enquire).
Any Other Business
- SU Board
- We will not run a second board for student union matters.
- Moderation, while possible, would be unacceptably slow and would not be worth it in any case.
- Voting Script
- The script used for the online poll for the alt.rag.ball can be used for further polls and even booking tickets and what not.
- 121 people had voted in the alt.rag.ball poll.
- Dermot was congratulated on the software.
This concluded the business of the meeting.
