Clean up on Saturday at 1pm
1. Hope Here.
8.40pm Tuesday 1st May. 15 tickets have already
been booked with 5 spaces left.
A confirmation email was received from the NTS. Costume has
been organised for the actor. Two
posters have been put up in Offshore and there will be a preview practice
performance in the STaG Room after the board meeting. S.Gregson and C.Felstead
have volunteered to be on the doors for the performance. Tech is apparently not
required as the need has not been expressed by the director. The possibility of
having tech for the benefit of aesthetics was discussed.
2. Bristol
Stage Manager needs to be advertised in the newsletter,
which C.Goldstone will write. Currently awaiting more details from the festival
organisers. The possibility of having a board rep for the production was
discussed. Furthermore the possibility of creating a publicity poster image for
“After Eight” or whether we should find a publicity image from the festival
itself. Enquiries will be made into tech facilities/requirements.
3. What’s He Building In There?
A grant was received from the SRC for £500. The Old
Hairdressers have confirmed that they are free on the 15th May for a
potential fundraising event to be held there. Discussions are being held with a
potential DJ and enquiries will be made about DJ equipment. Fundraising has
been booked at the GUU selling toasties at the HIVE. Poor turnout from some of
the crew members at rehearsals and socials was discussed and concern was raised
about the logistics of getting such things as costume ready in time. The press pack and trailers are
progressing well and the relationship with ZOO Venues is strong so far. A
teaser advertisement for the Old Hairdressers fundraiser will be put in the
newsletter.
4. Elections
D.Keenan needs help with supplying refreshments for the
event, and a backup plan for adverse weather cancelling the BBQ and having the
event in the STaG Room was established. The necessity of one being a member in
order to vote was stressed and will be reiterated in the newsletter. D.Keenan
and H.Bolwell will be hosting the event and will need to write a speech. The
Board have to arrange giving their own mini speeches about their positions
before the votes for those specific positions take place. Flyering for the Ball
will also take place at the event and we will be selling hoodies. This will
also be advertised in the newsletter.
5. STaG Ball
D.Keenan is awaiting confirmation from the ceilidh band
within the £250 budget. A friend of L.Monkman has confirmed the possibility of
a DJ set at the event and Emily Burckhardt has a friend who will take
photographs. I.McArthur is making posters and flyers for the event. The booking
sheet for online ticket booking will be put up on the website following the
same format as booking tickets for STaG shows. The cost for a ticket will be
£15. The booking system will be advertised in the newsletter and on the
facebook event. Awards – E.Igelstrom will start working on an online voting
system to go out by the 8th May. He will check through the past
production details to find all the nominations.
6. Improv Tea-time Performance.
Date has been confirmed for the 8th in the STaG
Room. Refreshments may have to be replenished after the elections. The issue of
a rehearsal scheduled during the elections in the STaG Room was discussed in
the eventuality that the elections must be held in the STaG Room all day. Other
rehearsal venues will be researched.
7. Board members must meet up with their successor once the successor has been elected and
must print off a board pack to give to them.
8. The possibility of a post ball get together for old board
members was discussed.
