No Apologies
1.0 Convenor’s Welcome
Dave lets Alex start off the meeting today with a question. The question is what type of chocolate easter egg would you be? Everyone comes up with different types of eggs- some very posh! Dave says he can’t remember what he has to say this week so he hands over to Sarah to start.
2.0 Exec Committee Updates
2.1 Sarah- Collections Co-ordinator
Sarah thanks everyone who went along to the collection in Glasgow. Although it took a total of five hours on the bus there and back it was a fantastic day raising £653.68! Karen especially did well raising over £150 all on her own. Alex then proceeds to tell a hilarious story about Rory getting attacked by Neds! Hysterical excitement ensues. Sarah finishes by saying that there will be a collection this Wednesday afternoon in Dundee for AfricaNow and she passes around a sheet.
2.2 Clare- Treasurer
Clare announces the totals so far for this year. For 6 Noms we have raised £37,925.23 and in the whole total it is £52,697.70! Will says that this is the most that has ever been raised by the charities campaign since the beginning of time! A big round of applause! Clare also puts her strict hat on and warns that she has a list of names with money to collect from the cash office- basically get it or it goes to charity by the end of this week!
2.3 Karlie- Events Coordinator
Karlie says that she has booked Pizza Express for about 9pm after the AGM on Monday the 21st of April. She says that she will bring the menu on the meeting after the break so that everyone can choose beforehand. Karlie goes on to talk about the balloon race-she has found a great company to provide all of the materials at a good price so it is all going ahead and Karlie is visibly excited! Publicity will begin the first week back after the break. And finally, this Tuesday night is the social! Pre-drinks will be starting at Katie’s house (36 Bell Street) meeting at 9. If not the first port of call will be the Vic at 10.30. Karlie hopes everyone will come and hopefully everyone will dress up!
2.2 Will- Nominee to Exec
Will says that he wants to set up an alumni emailing list so that everyone graduating or going on a year abroad can keep up to date with Charity news. He says if anyone wants to sign up to see him after the meeting.
3.0 Other Committee Members
3.1 Charity Chic jumble sale- Samantha
Samantha says that the sale will be taking place in the Mansefield on Wednesday afternoon from 2.30 pm. She asks about posters rails and hangers and Dave says that he can get hold of those things. Dave says that anything that doesn’t sell should be given to charity or recycled.
3.2 Alex- Fun-Run Coordinator
Alex says that he has set up a meeting to discuss the route with the local Fife constabulary. He would like everyone who is helping to organise it to stick around after the meeting to discuss one or two other things.
4.0 Meeting Closed
Dave says that exec nominations are officially open. He says that if you don’t know the positions by now then you probably shouldn’t be running! But just to remind everyone the positions are: RAG Week Co-ordinator, Treasurer, Collections Co-ordinator, Vice Convenor, Events Co-ordinator and Secretary. The Vice Convenor will be elected at the EGM in October will the RAG Week Co-ordinator position will be interviewed the Wednesday before the AGM. Nominations should be emailed to the charity account before 5pm on Tuesday 15April. Dave adds that a committee photo session is planned for the old exec, new exec and everyone involved in charities. It is planned for Saturday 26th April at the Cathedral ruins at about noon time. Dave asks everyone to spread the word about it. He then says that after the Easter break there is one more Monday meeting and then the AGM will take place the next Monday in Venue 2 at about 6.30 pm-Dave will confirm the time. He asks if there are any other questions, issues or queries to bring up. There isn’t so Dave says he will see everyone tomorrow night for the social.
