[committee] Quiz night

[David Adam]

Hi UCC and UniSFA committees, and others,

So, the quiz night is now three and a half weeks away, and I thought I'd
ask around and get a status report. As a joint committee effort, it's
bloody difficult to avoid treading on -someone's- toes, but I've read the
available committee minutes for both clubs, and asked around a few people,
so please bear with me. The official Quiz Night Subcommittee is Ewan and
Frenchie, so you can assume all of this is hearsay unless they say
otherwise.

Venue: the Tavern has been booked, but has not yet been paid for.

Questions: currently not written. I volunteer to produce one round of
(audio-based) questions, but Ewan (I think) is currently Question Master.

Tickets: $5/person prepaid, $10/person on the door, and tables of 8.
Any direct negatives? It would be cool to start selling tickets ASAP.
Does anyone know who did the ticket design last year? I think Davyd had
some designs but I'm not sure what got used in the end - Katie, you did
the printing, right?

Davyd has done a preliminary poster -

Once ticket prices are confirmed, I'll organise for this to go in the
Silver Guilder, in G-NEWS and around the Guild.

We also really, really need some decent prizes this year. If you're going
to approach someone for prizes, please let everyone on the UCC and UniSFA
committees know so that no-one asks twice.

>From my experience with WAMSS publications, I've discovered that writing
letters and even phone calls nets a low response rate, but if you pull on
some reasonably neat clothes and go to places in-person with a letter in
hand, you'll get much better results.

Last year, we managed to scam an overnight stay for two out of the Hilton,
which was raffled off to great success, so if we can get something like
this again that would be excellent.

To assist in communication, I'd like to remind you all that
unisfa-ucc at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au goes to both committees, but messages will be
semi-publically archived for all time on the UCC committee mailing list
pages. Please use Reply To All where appropriate.
