Purchases

Si asked if all future Society purchases can go through the Exec.
Generally purchases are supposed to be discussed by the Exec prior to
the orders being placed, this helps with accountability and budget
management.

Exec agreed this would be 70 GBP.

LAN Planning

talk had been OK but needed to be improved for future talks.

George put this down to late room booking on the part of Si.

Communication in Minutes

Si replied that he was working on it, major focus had been on covering
the academic talks, posters and other Exec related trivia.
