The Show

There is a principals' rehearsal schedule for the rest of January. Chorus attendance is better than this time last year. There will be 'catch-up' dancing rehearsals at 6pm on Sundays and Thursdays, which Libby has agreed to take. The set has been altered slightly and is now cheaper. Fraser says we need to buy tools to build the set. We will get 2 drill/screwdrivers for £40 in the Argos sale. This will be a society expense, not from the tech budget. We need to find a charity soon. David has a T-shirt design. Susan will take numbers and deal with the printer. The programme might cost in the region of £200. We will charge £1 each. We will start having mini committee meetings on Sundays again 6.30pm. We need to sell around 1160 tickets to break even. We will meet at 2pm in Western Court to do poster things on Sunday.

    • Sally has offered her flat for the last night.
