There has been significant changes in the production team and T. MacKay highlighted the need for a stage hand. It was agreed that E. Burckhardt will assist in the production.

There will be a Peribanez podcast to be added to the subcity Radio website, to be arranged by M. J. O’Neill and Ruth Wells

The Board is encouraged to come and see the production.

2. Financial Situation

The mystery £700 has been given to STaG, thanks to S. Gregson. There was a discussion about claiming back money off STaG. A policy has been agreed that receipts must be submitted at Board meetings within a month of the end of production. Emzy Wisker is still claiming money off STaG, but S. Gregson will sort this out with her.

3. STaG Nights

There has been a technical meeting and the lighting will be agreed this week. T. MacKay and R. Jones have spoken to Tony at the G12 to arrange all these technical matters. The drinks have been ordered. A mock-up of the posters and flyers has been made and they are going to print on Wed 28^th October. R. Jones has booked the 13^th Note in town for the STaG Nights Launch Party, twinned with Initial Itch Scratch Night.

4. Community

The community project has started. And is still going well.

5. Improvised Teatime
