Grant Application \___________________________________________________

A preliminary discussion on the grant application revealed that redbrick would be principally requesting funding for events but that some hardware was also needed:

Events - Mark will supply a full list to Charlene, who will assist him with costings. Descriptions will be required for these events, as well as financial projections. 8 tutorials are expected per semester, after which refreshments will be served. The first tutorial will take place on 11 October 2004.

Hardware - A fibre converter, rack rails and a cable tidy are required. The need for the fibre converter was debated by Dave, but ultimately not removed.

 last year to justify them again.

 Mark will look for quotes.

____________

TV & DVD \_____________________________________________________________

Posters \______________________________________________________________

- Donal feels that the current poster designs lack the cohesiveness of

 previous, more branded campaigns. Tina says that this is a deliberate move 
 away from what some people commented on as a boring look. Donal requested a
 compromise to include branded posters again.

- The high cost of printing was discussed and it was agreed that more would not

 be spent on C&S Day booklets. Tina, Charlene and Una will photocopy and put
 them together instead.
