1. Zatu Contract Info/To Discuss:

  • Many questions have been asked to Zatu, answers in a post in the Facebook group.
  • Contract now has to be renewed with each exec
  • We email in the games we buy, get an invoice and then can directly bank transfer from our account
  • Contract now under the role of President, with Finnbar listed as organisation contact
  • Still need to discuss who is fulfilling which parts of contract
  • Any final questions?
  • Might want to confirm that the discount is only for games bought for the society (not personal purchases), and whether Magic products also come under this offer.

Actions:

  • Ares and Finnbar are going on a fun trip to the SU to ask questions after this meeting
  • Probably get the contract signed by the end of the week if nothing goes awry

2. Hoodies (Ares) Info/To Discuss:

  • Got a final price for the hoodies - £19.50 + VAT (20%, to bring it to £23.40) if between 20 and 49 are ordered. This includes:
    • embroidered names (individual personalisation) on the left breast, and this can be up to 3 lines with max 20 characters per line
    • embroidered text on the right breast that reads: "University of Warwick Tabletop Games and Roleplaying Society"
    • 1 colour print on the back
    • Additionally, this price does not change if we order hoodies of various different colours and sizes
  • Am I okay to put this up on the SU website to open orders? Should I round the price up to £25 just in case?

Actions:

  • Put the price as £23.40 on the SU form
  • Double check with Banana/Dan whether shipping costs
  • Advertise the hoodie order at tabletop weekend
  • Can open the order to non members too - do this to save us the fuss

3. Game Design Collab Info/To Discuss:

  • Dan Ilett contacted the society (well, Finnbar) about a possible collab between Game Design and us.
  • They’ve been making a lot of board games recently at their game jams, would be cool to offer that to our members.
  • Playtesting is an option if people don’t want to make games.
  • Usually their events last over a weekend - could have the Saturday and Sunday morning for making games and Sunday afternoon as a playtesting session.

Actions:

  • Nice! Do some advertising for this
  • Write a keynote speech for a game jam potentially (Finnbar?)

4. Quiz Reminder! Info/To Discuss:

  • Varsity booked! (from when?)
  • Final reminder to get quiz rounds to me (Ares) (only waiting on Nathan now)
  • Reminder to advertise this and tabletop weekend (though it’s a bit late now)
  • Please come!

Actions:

  • Varsity is booked from 2030 for 15 people

Next Meeting To Discuss (Focussing)

  • Will be the final meeting of the term
  • I will discuss the exec handover document, as we need to start compiling this over Christmas so that it’s ready for our AGM (Ares)
  • On the topic of RPGs, need to put into writing who to go to if there’s a grievance during a session (i.e Patrick as welfare officer). Maybe need a chain of responsibility (line of precedence) (Callum)
  • Mission report on the CCGs tournament (Ellie)
  • Maybe discuss website updates/rejigs that need to happen (Ash)
  • 3D printing ideas?
