7. AOB
i) It was proposed that we might want to consider badges (or possibly caps) for stewards next year, so that it is obvious who's working the show for those not in filmsoc clothing. It was decided in the end that we shall put this on hold and see how things are going next term before possibly reconsidering this proposal.
ii) The touch screen till has now been in action for a couple of weeks. The committee voted on whether or not to propose to exec to purchase more of these for installation on the other tills. A concern was raised about the frame still not fitting properly once the touch element has been incorporated.
Indicative vote: 4 in favour, 1 against.
iii) Ed asked for suggestions on whether or not the EPOS system's confirm button should be moved. Some ideas were given, including making the confirm andvoid buttons larger/squarer.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:53pm
