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.
