Mainstage Play for next term
Meeting to decide upon main stage proposals proposed for Dec 6th. Play will be decided before Xmas.

Ramshorn can offer stage for the week of the 7th March and has been provisionally booked. £2,100 for the whole week.

La Ronde

Need to start publicising immediately, time running out. Posters should be ready to print by Friday and distribution should begin on Monday.

Fundraising ideas: Pub quiz? Cake Sale? Games? Twister? Acoustic music to raise profile and make it more of an event?

Fundraising event proposed for next Friday, 26th November.

Capacity of 100 decided for the QMU. Can remove seats if attendance is significantly lower.

Christmas Social

Stag t-shirts should be made in time for Xmas Social.
Ideas for the social: xmas music, pass the parcel, revelry.

New Works Festival

Because venue is free we’ve decided to invest in some new tech both for the New Works and for future use. More research is required first however.

Will be advertised as taking place at Buff Club because everyone us familiar with name and location.

Will take place Tuesday to Friday 15th – 18th February.

Judges still to be decided.

Studio Slot for Next Semester

Because we’re lacking a studio, perhaps the event can be themed as Crazy Spaces or such, and people can suggest new and interesting spaces in which theatre can take place.

Should it take place after the mainstage play during exams, like Cleansed last year?
An email will be sent out next week to ask for proposals for this slot, and will continue to be sent out well into the new year.

Executive Board Meeting

Move it to later in second semester so as to become a post-mortem of the year. Drawing on board members’ experiences, thus making any changes to the constitution more informed.

Stag Night

Post-mortem and discussion next week.

Charles Kennedy

Will make an enquiry over G12 closure. Will also see about increasing the £800 Stag Production Fund.
