Every show in Week 4 is covered.
3. Death Proof
It was decided to meet at 8.30 pm in L3 on Saturday for curry before the midnight show.
4. New laptops
Two are now on the desk in the Exec Office but they are proving problematic to configure.
There will be another update next week.
5. DM training
The Exec have approved the policy, "The Front of House Committee can vote to propose revocation of a member's trainee DM status to the Exec."
One World Week interrupted the meeting by promoting some event involving drums, of all things.
It was agreed that the Roles and Responsibilities document for DMs was to be completed before tackling the training booklet and check lists for qualifications. The document will be used to produce check lists for the booklet and for each area of qualifications - inside L3, the tills, health and safety, etc.
Qualified DMs are welcome to comment on the document on the DM listings.
Trainees' progress was discussed and James will give feedback to the trainees.
6. AOB
(i) To avoid Internet connection problems, DMs are reminded to plug all network cables in before switching the laptops on.
(ii) Robert suggested having a bell system for stewards to attract the customers at the front of the queue to the tills. Donations of bells and buzzers to trial such a system are welcome.
