  • Finnbar will put a discord announcement out.

2. Exec Handover Doc Info/To Discuss:

  • THANK YOU TO: Nigel, Finnbar, Callum, Jakub
  • NOT CONTRIBUTED YET: Nathan, Ash, James SF, Aleksa, Patrick (gets a pass because he's been away all Christmas), Josh

Actions:

  • Hard deadline on contributions: end of week 3 (as Ares is probably busy until then anyway)
  • Please do it or Ares will be very upset
  • Will put a reminder facebook post up on the exec group (Ares)

3. AGM Info/To Discuss:

  • Week 8 during board games
  • Who is the returning officer?
  • What do we need to discuss at the AGM in addition to the regular election business?
  • Is anyone thinking of proposing any motions?
  • Is everyone thinking about their successors?
  • Ares will create a mini advertisement for the AGM sometime this week, and we can advertise it starting next week when the hoodie orders close and that business is sorted.
  • Need to create a nomination thread on the website? Last year, both facebook and the website were used and there were separate threads on both.

Actions:

  • Returning officer has to be someone who’s NOT running for a role
    • Ares may or may not be running depending on PhD
    • NIGEL will be returning officer
    • Nigel can get the powerpoint from last year off Dan
  • Motions:
    • Tim: officially renaming LARP equipment officer
    • Nigel needs to look into electronic voting.
    • We’ll be motioning in the exec handover document
  • I’ll create a forum thread for nominations on the website, and we will link this thread everywhere else (FB, discord) rather than having separate threads.

4. Borrowing society equipment Info/To Discuss:

  • Someone enquired on the discord about regularly “checking out” RPGs equipment
  • Discord server #RPGs, Benjamin M, Tiny Iron Man (Fri 04/01/2019): Exec, for borrowing items in the future, would it be possible to do a standing order sort of thing? Like, every Friday evening, and it's returned by the next morning (b2.02 locks permitting)?
  • What's our system?
    • Callum has a google spreadsheet for RPG orders - will need to update this for recurring orders.
    • Callum is the only one with editing permissions - so basically, the system is go to Callum and he’ll pencil you in.

Actions:

  • Add a link to the spreadsheet on the website (and an explanation, on the proposed FAQs page?)
  • Add in the details of this to the exec handover document
  • Will continue to keep the sign out book system for board games rather than doing it electronically

Next Meeting To Discuss (Focussing):

  • AGM update probably (Ares)
  • Hoodie update (Ares)
  • Zatu update (Finnbar)
  • Game design update (Finnbar)
  • Locks update (Nigel)
  • Commander tournament idea (Ellie)
