[committee] From ITS RE: UCC coke supplies

[Grahame Bowland]

Hey

Yeah, I agree that perhaps people there are going over the top. When
it started there was no facility for drinks in that office, and I came
up with the UCC coke idea as a helpful way to make the club some money
and supply myself with delicious caffeinated beverages.

It does make the club a bunch of money, but it's a lot of labour for
some muggins (Zanchey and Sam, I think) to do.

If it does die, I reckon we should have a bit of a think as to how we
can make some money for the club in other ways to make up the gap? I'm
not sure how much loosing the ITS coke revenue would "hurt" the club's
finances.

Cheers
Grahame (stuck in Dublin overnight due to cluelessness, soon to head
to Thurles and then Cashel!)

PS: Thurles is not pronouced Tearles, although it's close. Worrying.
