be ratified

Holiday pub

Sadiq suggested that we do a loliday pub, and has offered to look into

after friday night, and bin bags to be taken out to bins

Roger would also like to know about the exec a bit more.

IEEE Update

The IEEE student chapter is not happening any more, the department are
not too interested and it is not something we can do on our own.

Publicity team

A publicity team is not needed til we have something to publicise, so
at the moment is not necessary.

Animesoc projector purchase

Action: Monk to talk to Pam about money for projector

Xbox usage

The Xbox360 is not being used enough at the moment to justify buying
new games. If interest picks up then maybe we can look to buy more.
Action: Xbox360 to pull it’s finger out and come to gaming. Failing
that, the gaming officer should bring it along to gaming and LANs

LAN

LAN setup will occur at 7, and the entire exec should be there to help set up.

RTSsoc

RTSsoc seemed to have dissappeared, and so the Ghosts need to be
deployed against them.

Biosoc

Action: Sinjo needs to email biosoc about the website that raeped codd
and ITS to ask about backus ports being opened.

Equal ops

The exec needed a member of it to be trained in equal opportunities.
Estel volunteered for this.

And then there were cookies. :D
