i) Jonathan asked members of the exec how busy they were going to be over the next two weeks, to see who can help with sponsorship.
ii) The idea of FilmSoc awards was proposed, where we could book a room off campus and have our own awards to highlight the contributions and achievements of the society and its members.
iii) There is an Alton Towers trip on Thursday – transport and tickets were discussed.
iv) Ideas to help present ourselves more as a society rather than just a business were suggested, such as backstage passes and classes in using Photoshop and so on.
v) A second ‘Getting Involved’ meeting for the next academic year was suggested – early in Term 2, to encourage more participation.
vi) Reece suggested we try to do another live performance during the next academic year, collaborating with another society.
vii) It was suggested that we have a small group of exec members working on different projects, perhaps also including other crew and members, to help make us more efficient and productive. It can also help increase participation and involvement from our members by getting them involved too.
viii) Big video project – we will need more time to plan this and record the footage and put it together. The plan is to get it ready in Autumn term.
ix) The booklet was discussed. Dom will begin looking into it.
