Slots were filled for qualified DMs for the reminder of the academic year.
There will be qualified DMs around on Wednesday at Laura's show, if they are needed.
Trainee DM slots remain for five of the shows in week 5 - please sign-up!
3. Qualifications
Veronika's qualification is scheduled to take place Friday Week 4 (21st May 2010) at the 6:30pm screening of 'The Lovely Bones'. Qualified DMs will arrive at about 5:15pm, with Veronika permitted to enter from 5:45pm.
Ed, George, Fergus and James will all be available and since Rob is unable to attend, George will head the qualification - likely to be the last that he will attend :-(
4. Looking forwards to next term/year
Stewarding guide: Rob showed all those present a copy of the stewarding guide on our website. (http://www.filmsoc.warwick.ac.uk/index.php?page=help%2Fmain&id=30).
This is thoroughly out of date and will need a complete re-write due to changes since 2002/3. Rob would also like the committee to update the Front of House Wiki Page, with entries to include copies of:
* the new stewarding guide
* the DM Guide
* the Trainee DM Booklet
* An EPOS Guide for Stewards
* An EPOS Guide for DMs.
Threads will go on the DM Forums to discuss these further later in turn, with indication of their presence made to the mailing list at some point in week 7 or 8.
5. AOB
i) Ed (IT Officer) asked the committee what it wanted to see on the new screens outside L3 during ticket selling. It was agreed that the left screen continuing with its regular presentation. The general mood was that the right hand screen should feature show information, such as "This way please", "No hot food", "No recording equipment", etc.
ii) Card tickets: there was an indicative vote taken on whether or not we should move to printing on card tickets. This was tentatively in favour - though cost-dependent. Rob & Fergus will look into it further.
iii) Ed announced that there was to be an IT meeting on Wednesday 19th May, at 7:30pm in B2.03 - all were welcome.
iv) The exec office clear-out will take place prior to the screening of Exam (Sat Wk 5) and the following day - more details to follow from Fergus, all welcome to attend.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:42pm
