    • Alex is not free.
    • Does anyone else want to volunteer to do it? Probably not.
    • Alex will message.
  • Mystery end of term RPG????????? Oh my god (Oli is Planning)

🕐 1. Equalitea Board Games
  • https://www.stonewall.org.uk/get-involved/get-involved-fundraise-us/hold-equali-tea-and-raise-vital-funds-lgbt-equality
    • Has a fundraising pack with useful materials
    • Can print stuff off in my office for free so that won’t be too much of an issue
  • We’ve done one of these in the past - a cake and tea/coffee stall (donate like £1.50 to get cake + drink) outside B2.02, then people eating and playing board games inside
  • Week 8, from when board games starts (2pm)
    • Set up the stall a little earlier, at like 1
  • We already have 2 rooms, B2.01 and B2.04/5, so we can use 1 of these for fooding and 1 for non-fooding?
  • Need to advertise widely - Pride and Tabletop, also WISA 🏃‍♂️ Ares
  • Who would be up for making cake? I will be, of course

🕑 2. Tabletop Radio Home Stretch
  • 2 things left to do: RingFit stream and TTR Board Game demo
  • Finnbar (+ Sol) - demo??? Maybe 11th/12th (ask Sol)
  • RingFit:
    • Sat Week 7, got B2.02 booked from 11am-3pm
    • Did a demo a few weeks ago and it worked surprisingly well
    • Finnbar will be on tech support, Ares will lead the work out
    • Need 3-4 other people to join in
      • Scarlett has volunteered
      • Hannah
      • Anakin????
      • ?
      • You will need to get a pilates ring at minimum (you also might want to bring a yoga mat or similar for your butt, the floor is not kind)
      • 🏃‍♂️ Ares: put another call out in the TTR server for participants

🕒 3. The Future (spooky noises)

I know it’s early, but you need to start thinking about whether you’ll be rerunning next year, and if not, who your successor will be So, a rundown:

  • President - Anakin - likely not rerunning, not found successor yet (Alex might run!!)
  • VP - Ares - not re-running at all (thesis)
  • Treasurer - Ike - rerunning
  • Web Admin - Finnbar - not re-running at all, have no fucking clue (theoretically Scarlett could do it if there’s no one else)
    • Need to be more precise on what the web admin role entails
    • Nominate an assistant?
    • Appoint a head moderator? (and don’t have moderation be a feature of web admin, just have them as server owner)
    • Not a responsibility to make new features, just maintain what’s there (make the documentation really obvious as to how to do the simple things)
    • 🏃‍♂️ Finnbar: sort the web admin role before next term when we start advertising the roles
  • Co-Op - Hannah - will be rerunning, but not necessarily for co-op (maybe VP) so will need to find if someone’s interested in co-op
  • Wargames - Jon - not rerunning (graduating), doesn’t expect there will be any problems finding someone
  • Draft - Henry - not rerunning (graduating), will start looking for someone
  • Board Games - Alex - rerunning but not for BGs, is it worth having an assistant (as backup)? Haven’t heard from anyone who’s interested yet.
    • Make it clear in the advert that other exec will be helping out with the 8 hours thing.
  • CCGs - Scarlett - will run for something else (maybe web admin or VP), couple of people who might be interested
  • RPGs - Oli - not rerunning (graduating and going elsewhere rip), Lap will be running
  • LARP - James - doesn’t know about rerunning but there are some consistent players who could be pressganged
  • Quartermaster - Nathan - isn’t here but Alex is pretty sure that Nathan will rerun

🕓 4. X-Wing Tournament!
  • Tabletop weekend??? :O James Ellis is coming up
  • B2.02 and 4/5 are booked
    • Considering getting 01 as well, Jon wants 4/5 for the tourney though because 01 might be too smol 🏃‍♂️
  • It is happening one of the days - 🏃‍♂️ Jon will put out a poll for day preference
  • Start at 9.30 in the morning (sad face)
  • Just remember not to clash with the auction if it ends up being on Saturday
    • Would be better to run it on Sunday but It Depends
    • Does James E want to LARP??????
  • 🏃‍♂️ Jon: when it’s organised, pass on details to Hannah to advertise in the newsletter
