1. Reflection
H. Sloan congratulated everyone on a great first term, but wished to reflect on improvements that could be worked on this term. Each board member outlined their achievements and improvements. These are outlined at the end of this document.
2. New Writing Festival
A. Blundell noted that the New Writing Festival is progressing well. The ticket prices have been agreed as £6/£5 a night, or £18 for a festival pass. The plays will be performed on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There has been no word from any of the judges, but there is still time for them to respond, and A. Blundell is going to call or email them for a response. She will also keep an eye on the Bedlam website to apply for a slot for the Fringe. The SRC Top Up Grant form has been submitted. It is unlikely that we will receive the Arts Faculty Grant, from emails. A. Blundell and her New Writing Festival Committee will be choosing this plays this week and will be starting to consider fundraising options.
3. Workshop Fridays
The first instalment of PlayGroup went well, and there is hope that there will be a showcase soon. Improvised Teatime will resume in February. A blurb will be in the newsletter this week to remind members.
4. Community Reflection
L. Fenwick thought that community schools project went well and thought that her group did well in conducting the workshops. Connections have been made and schools will be keen to have us back. L. Fenwick is going to liaise with E. Burckhardt in the hope that L. Fenwick might run a workshop in the coming term.
5. Registering as a Charity
P. Mannion and F. Andrew have been reading up on this and there are points of contention. Next week, the board will be discussing the pros and cons of registering after the board has had a chance to peruse all the information.
6. Social
F. Andrew is going to place a blank rota on the STaG noticeboard and would now like 3 board members at every Social, so please sign up this. There will be a buffet every week, and STaG will cover the £10 cost of this. There will be a STaG Theatre Trip to see No Wasted Education in Edinburgh, and another performance at 1pm. This is to be arranged.
7. AOB
S. Gregson – Present Laughter borrow props and costume from Vintage Guru. Two items are still to be returned – a scarf and a white, fluffy hat. The hat has been 'stolen/taken' by a girl from Flatrate's The Zeros Keep Going. S. Gregson will attempt to contact her, but is going to speak to Vintage Guru about the situation
P. Mannion – the snack rota has been arranged and will be sent out in an email.
A. Blundell – wants the Board to consider better signage, and J. Dyer and her will look into the situation.
F. Andrew – when R. Jones is present, there is a need to discuss the methods of casting in No Wasted Education.
SNACK ROTA – next week – M. J. O'Neill & T. Eaton.
