3. Notices
• Please try to make sure doors isn’t a punishment or the worse place to be when stewarding. The President commented that he worries that this may be off-putting to stewards and sets a bad tone. Make sure that you ask stewards if they have a preference between doors and tills and try to make as many people happy as possible. On a quiet show with 4 stewards, consider only opening 2 tills and having 2 stewards on doors. Don’t give the impression that doors is the worse job as this is picked up and mirrored by stewards (Especially when you are stewarding). Make sure that, when doing checks, you are communicating with the door stewards. Swapping people about has also been working well.
• Last week new £20 notes were introduced. Since these need to be checked as before there are some new methods of checking for them. The UV torch will reveal a ‘20’ on the note, and the hologram will change between ‘Twenty’ and ‘Pounds’ as the note is moved. The CDM will print out a Bank of England guide and leave this in the tills if you would like one to show stewards. All stewards should be told about these new checks with the notes. Old £20 notes are still accepted.
4. AOBs
i. There will be a representative from Warwick in Africa fundraising outside both screenings of Bombshell and the late The Lighthouse.
ii. Ideas for end of term party? – Terrace Bar?
iii. Jack will not be able to do week 10 DM meeting at the current time, what alternative time would be best? Jack will try to sort out maybe starting a little late.
iv. Antoinette would like to encourage people to attend tomorrows socials.
v. Antoinette would like to remind everyone to make sure crew status is granted correctly.
vi. Rianna would like to congratulate Sueda on her DMing on Beasts of the Southern Wild.
vii. Antoinette would like to remind everyone that A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is about a vampire who also skateboards and only attacks men who abuse women. It’s a great film.
5. Trainee Discussion
The Trainee Discussion has been shared via the QDM mailing lists.
