1. Call to order

 

2. Show 1 recap

            High school student attendance may have doubled

            60ish people in attendance

Emergency lights were on for the entire show, problem must be resolved in the future

                        -Bug Randy sooner

                        -Have a specific plan for dealing with the lights

            Too much talking while anime was playing

            Lots of new memberships

                        -Some delay in taking money

            Carding people will begin at Show Two

 

3. Weekday Shows Recap

            Policy Discussion: Should carding be done at the smaller shows?

                        -The shows are CTRL-A events, and should require CTRL-A membership

                        -Club loses money by not enforcing membership rule

-Some anime companies specify that series should only be screened to club members

 

-Might lead to interruptions as new people wander in mid-show

-Requires additional equipment: cashbox, membership list

            -Requires an Executive for these

-Vice President would like additional Exec volunteers besides himself

 

                        Must-Haves for the shows:

                                                Office access

                                                Membership cards

                                                Membership list

                                                Equipment

                                                Cashbox*

                                                An Exec to be responsible for the last four items

            Official conclusion seems to be to card people at the door for small shows

 

*A cashbag to just hold some float for the small shows might be handy instead of leaving the cashbox at the new office and taking it to every show

 

Old projector is running down, causing some viewing problems

Small show volunteers need access to the new office

            Discussion: Move new equipment to new office or get AL 116 access

                        -AL 116 getting tougher to book

-New office has the potential for lots of traffic but probably about as secure as AL 116

            -Is our stuff insured? Can we get insurance from FEDS?

                        -ERO will find out

-Moving equipment kind of tough, Karl is building a wheeled AV cart

Motion to vote on storing the new equipment in the office (preferably by Tues.)

            -Passed with several abstentions

            -Vice President has volunteered to help with the moving of the equipment

 

Show Volunteers (preferably Exec):

Tuesday: E-Comm Officer (Amanda)

Thursday: Matt is trusted

Saturday: ?

Key access needed

 

Motion to move on: Approved

 

Weekly Show recap:

Activities

Suggestion to have an activity outside the show, specifically Laser tag, possibly against another club such as WatSFiC or KonJa.

 

5. Old Business

 

Old Equipment

            -Kind of flickery, takes about half an hour to warm up

            -Reset the timer so it won’t shut down for good automatically

            -Best case scenario while using the old projector may be an entertaining explosion

            -Try to use new equipment and keep old in reserve

 

Office

            -Accessing it kind of sucks

            -Supposedly everything should be fixed by January, but that looks doubtful

-Office hours? No one seems to have held any yet, probably won’t need to this term

 

Keys

            -Getting them kind of sucks

            -For key access, contact exec list, any of the exec

 

Other Old Business

Anime North Trip: send information to ctrl-a@ctrl-a.org, a notice should soon be made by e-mail

 

No Karl means no cheques

            -Other suggestion maybe for another time: the new sushi place at Northfield

                        -requires several bus transfers or other transportation
