1. Welcome and Apologies
Apologies were received from Alex Pointon (Technical Officer), Phil Beckett (Events and Socials Coordinator) and Dominic Lam (Chief Editor).
2. Sponsorship Pack
A spreadsheet made last year will be used to apply for sponsorship, many companies are listed on there. Jonatan has approached someone from HSBC. The exec acknowledged that figures listed on the previous pack may not apply, since this academic year is still in progress, e.g. number of members. Reece and Jonatan will be working together on the Sponsorship Pack.
3. FilmSoc Film-Talk
For the past term and a half Lorraine, Reece and Jonatan have had a RAW show to discuss films. Lorraine will be leaving at the end of this year, and Reece will be doing a year abroad. We need more members to participate as Jonatan does not want to talk to himself.
4. FilmSoc Tour
We are one of the only big societies on campus that doesn’t go on a tour. Those present at the meeting seemed interested in this. Phil should look into options for this. It may be a bit late to arrange something for the summer, but options will be discussed in due course.
5. Publicity for Term 3
The schedule for term 3 has been sent off to the Troy’s. There is not too much left to do for publicity. An email has been sent to the Publicity Team to write reviews. Quantity of A2s, A4s, and loyalty cards were discussed. Reece researched figures from last year, and suggested ordering the same amount again. It was proposed that we order 2500 A4s, 1000 A2s and 5000 loyalty cards. The exec unanimously agreed to this. Hannah will send an email to the Marketing Team next week, to start making slides.
6. Big Screening
Jonatan read out a list of all the films mentioned in Discourse and previous discussions. Shrek was unanimously voted as the chosen film, and other films such as Mary Poppins and Frozen were discussed as a backup. Options for theming the event was discussed. Jonatan will be contacting the SU to find out if there are any events planned for Week 10. The piazza needs to be booked for that day.
7. TADONM
This will be decided on an exec email thread.

iii) Star Wars Society has approached us about a joint social for next term.
