       Justin                                          John Looney
       Jonathan                                        John Bolger

1. Admins

       John Looney gave a warning on news groups about off topic postings
       There should be no disuserment.

       New policy decided upon
       "Off topic postings will be deleted, persistent posters will be
        disusered".

       John Bolger is apparently not happy with having David Murphy on
       the admins mailing list.

       New policy decided upon
       "an ex-sys-admin is welcome to help the society in anyway they can by
       performing systems administration tasks, provided that :
       a) They have not previously been removed from office
       b) The current administrators approve, on a case by case basis".

       Admin training will be happening soon.

       Internet Relay Chat server is now up, all committee members should
       be made operators.

2. Finances

       Sarvesh owed DCUNS 20 pounds, 4 pounds is the balance.
       Justin owes DCUNS 24 pounds.

       There is 300 pounds in the bank.
       
       Ents-wise - an Intersocs event is a good idea

       Trip away - Wales(?) - SPC will give £7.50 per person per night
       2nd week in april?

       RAG WEEK ==== SU will pay for all events etc we organise.
       Cecily couldn't get in contact with Dave Flynn (even tried on the
       phone during the meeting :) ).
       Benefactors will probably be Crumlin Childrens Hospital.

       Welcome back party ->  Isolde's Tower
                              Bacchus
                              The Fleet

       Jonathan wants to borrow some of the 486's until a use can be found
       for them, there were no objections.

3. AOB

       Colin Whittaker made his committee and admin mail publically readable,
       this led to people being able to grab passwords from the mail and 
       use other people's accounts.
       A posting should be made about it, rather than disusering Colin.

       AGM - 1st week in April
       EGM - Week after Rag Week.
             Admins should organise the exam.
