Commitee Meeting Minutes

Minutes of Cecilian Society Committee Meeting 01/08/02

Present:

Summer seven

Apologies:

Everyone else

Meeting opened - 6.10pm

With the secretaries disgraceful conduct of not keeping up to date with the minutes - there were none to second or even propose. The secretary apologised profusely for her general bad secretariashment - her excuse is a lack of access to a computer. Some people will believe anything - only joking it is actually true. Anyway...

Correspondence:

Ali - Weinberger don't do a smaller orchestration for WSS. There is one by a different company but not very reduced eg. 25 instead of 30. Gregor will approach his friend in the Pantheon production and see if we can find out what they are doing.
Gregor - The music stands that we were considering buying are on sale at £20 each. Would need to buy lights as well. Would probably get 18 (they come in bundles of 6 - if bundles is the correct term for a group of music stands - maybe it's a gaggle of music stands). Gregor will check the price of lights.
Nicola - Someone from Napier Uni wants to do a joint production with us!!. We will politely decline, but plug WSS as much as possible.
Tony - On Tuesday JP, Ali, Nicola and Tony sorted out props, wood, makeup etc. They also removed Liam's belongings. Adele apologised for missing it - she was called into work. On Wednesday they spoke to Curlers - will increase our sponsorship by the same proportion that their budget increses by. But also...no-one outside the uni is allowed to got to Freshers Week. Therfore, they have said that for every form with our stamp on it which turns into a yellow card, they will give us £15. No one had any objections.

Tech Director:

Mark Ridyard withdrew his interest in this post. Ewan Maclean is still very keen. He came to the meeting and was duly chosen as the tech director. There is the possibility that he will get a job away from Glasgow, but will have an assistant that is capable of taking over if that happens.

E-mails:

Ewan is going to teach Libby to use the U**F account to try and solve the multiple/no email situation.

BLW Publicity:

Nicola has done a poster - similar to last years - everyone liked it. Adele will proof read it, then take it to the printers.

Freshers Fayre & shows:

Cate will be organising the stall. We should promote WSS at the same time as it's better known. Will get the same quantities of posters as last year. If we need more flyers, we can photocopy them. Nicola will do a black and white version of the flyer. Audition date for WSS is the weekend of 2&3 of November. Can advertise that too.

Theatre Guild are doing Wizard of OZ in November. They bought an advert from us. We need to buy one from them, - can put in audition dates there too.

Tony set the budget meeting for the first Thursday that Nadia is back in town. Producton team will be invited.

Piano needs tuning. Will use Dave Wilson this time as he will put the wheels on too.

Will need to do a new contact list soon with production team and committees new address's.

AOCB:

Ewan has done a photo archive on CD Rom. He gave it to the committee to try and keep it up to date with each new show. Advised us to add peoples names as we may forget in a few years time who everyone is. Tony took it.
We need to write 200 words for the QM booklet - Adele will do it.
QM asked if we wanted to do things during Freshers Week. Could do whorehouse songs, or concert party stuff. Will ask if we can sing in the Food Factory at lunchtime on Tuesday and friday.
Next Meeting - 2 weeks time.
