3. Community Schools Project
4. Board Trip
5. Studio
6. AOB

1. Peribanez

R. Jones wished to report back on the state of the posters and flyers for Peribanez and that they are ready to be sent to the printers. The posters and flyers are high resolution, using the new uniform poster format, which was approved by the board.

2. STaG Nights

The festival is gathering steam. The plays have been chosen, and the directors will all meet at a meeting on Tuesday 13^th October to go through the full running of different shows. The auditions for STaG Nights will be advertised to Level 1 and Level 2 Theatre Studies students, in the hope of recruiting/involving new members. We are on the hunt for bands, as Washington Irving has pulled out. R. Jones is urging the board to find other interested bands.

3. Community Schools Project

The project will be entering schools next week. There are at least three people interested, but L. Fenwick hopes that more people will become involved. A. Blundell is still acting as an assistant. L. Fenwick now has a tutor to oversee the project. It is going well.

4. Board Trip

The Board discussed team building games that we could play in Inverary – capture the flag, spider trap, drinking games, worm game. A. Blundell has emerged as the head of games. Everyone is encourage to bring CDs, iPods, Frisbees, Balls, Pack of cards etc. to make the trip a place where we can bond.

5. Studio

The Studio will cost £150 for the week. The studio proposal date is next week. A. Blundell is going to speak to Tony at the G12 to make sure we have a solid relationship with the G12 before we use their space.

6. AOB

P. Mannion – The Fringe and Bedlam Box Office Takings has arrived for ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’. The play made £2,223.12 in ticket sales, which means that the play will have made a smaller loss than we thought, possibly only a couple of hundred pounds.

A. Blundell – has concerns that the G12 cheque that was written to ‘ STaG Nights’ and not ‘STaG’ may have expired. She will speak to S. Gregson about the situation.
