Also present: Kieran Hall

1. Welcome & Apologies
Apologies from Naz and Marta

2. Updates from Different Teams
Front of House – A few close to qualifications, will be looking for more DM’s soon. Lots of stewards which is great

Projection – Tprojs are great now, all enthusiastic. P2 is dead, we know why which is great, leaking lots of oil. Masking is back thanks to AP.

Publicity – Will be buying some new loyalty cards, with the new schedule on for next term, which is amazing. Lots more people are asking about how to come to films etc, which is a function of how great marketing and publicity are. Staff First Films Free quite a few have come recently which is nice, lots of interest which is awesome. Booklets for next term still undecided. 70mm print of The Aeronauts which could be awesome

IT – Some IT trainees have dropped out, but other than that, it’s all good. Unlikely to have a meeting before the end of term due to the amount of coursework CS people have. Can we change on the WSC website how to buy tickets etc.

Marketing- Marketing meeting tomorrow, being set up on projects for next term i.e. Darkknighter and Evening of Ghibli

3. So Long, My Son Preview
Allowed to publicize it, have a trailer, all tickets are free. We have 75 free tickets for Warwick students. The rest of the people will be external, need to make sure these don’t end up at the arts centre.

5. Collaborations
BioSoc want a film about climate change with a speaker, might apply for funding. Will we wait for them and swap it for 2040? The plan is to show beasts of the southern wild instead of 2040 as will probably do as well, also if BioSoc get funding that would be great.
AstroSoc collaborating on Rocketman as spoke to AC behind tills.
Streetcar Named Desire in 35mm not possible as likely that we want 70mm The Aeronauts the day before meaning that we won’t be able to rebuild. Also DCP of Streetcar named desire is super expensive, so maybe replace with Uncut Gems, the A24 flick, as it now has a release date in January.
We will not be charged for the random DCP we got sent of Avengers Endgame



6. Elections and Handovers
Prepare your handover packs as you won’t have much time next term

7. End of Term Deadlines
Can’t remember
Marketing and Publicity to be finished within reasonable time
Most of the schedule is now confirmed, somethings subject to change. We will have to wait on Parasite and a few smaller/indie films towards the end of term.

8. Events and Socials
7pm social to canopy this evening, then followed by drinks in the duck along with karaoke
Secret santa is happening, please send me your email address if you want to be involved.
Last Christmas Social Week 8 Saturday 12:50pm TBC
Christmas Meal will be Wednesday Week 10, with a Fleabag LIVE social and a trip to the Birmingham Christmas to fit in before the end of term.

9. TADONM
Next Term, all come to the DM Christmas Meeting on Tuesday Week 10

10. AOB’s

Kieran to hold the role of Publicity Officer until the Elections For – 10, Against – 0, Abstain – 0
