S. Gregson said so far the rehearsals are on schedule but there is no publicity or set so far. Set will be being built on Wednesday and posters will be finished and printed soon. 20 colour posters will be done. The get in for the room is TBC and a doodle will be sent out to find availability.

2) Much Ado
Josh has emailed his cast stressing the importance of punctuality at rehearsals. The deadline for music is coming up soon. The poster will be completed this week. Publicity in newspapers etc has been sent out and some confirmations have been received. Online booking needs to be set up as soon as possible. Memberising is in progress and Josh will be encouraged to socialise more with the cast. There are no fundraiser ideas yet.

3) Other Uni Posters
100 will be printed by Monday.

4) November Social
The board agreed going to The Stand for the comedy on a Tuesday would be good. The date was decided as being the 22nd November. Another theatre trip should also be organised soon.

5) Board Trip
C. Felstead stressed that everyone must fill out the doodle. Most of the board don’t mind where the trip is so it was suggested that we could go ice skating or for a meal or both?

6) New Works
There are no judges yet but L. taylor has had various ideas and is in the process of contacting people. She will start writing a press pack and a proposal form. It will be advertised in the newsletter after STaG Nights and a committee will be formed before Christmas. The deadline for proposals is the 5th Jan and they will be decided upon on the 8th Jan.

7) STaG Nights
The posters will be collected on Wednesday. L. Monkman is going to the Old Hairdressers on Wednesday to look at the space before the launch party. Subcity Djs have been confirmed. It is on from 19:30-00:00 due to licensing laws. There will be rehearsals in the Flying Duck next week. Help is needed to poster and to set up at the launch party. There is no news regarding grants yet. T. Pennock will meet with the SRC to talk about funding.

8) STaG Room Policy
The board decided that if a booking is made without a contact number then the booking is automatically void. Furthermore, if the project is non-STaG then the people making the booking must contact S. Gregson directly to arrange it.

9) AOB
The website meeting is on Wednesday at 5:30pm in the Jura Room in the library.
The 2nd mainstage will be discussed and a location needs to be found. S. Gregson will look into possible venues.
