[committee] Snack run and current security

[Jeremy Cole]

Hey all,

Hope exams went well for those of you who had them. After promising I would,
there has been a snack run done, I got huge amounts of peanut M&M's as that
was a popular request that never seemed to be at Cash and Carry. I also
stocked the machine and will take another look at the coke machine shortly
to see is any slots there can be filled.

As for the issue with the clubroom being broken into again, I think
something along the lines of getting a more permanent solution in the way of
keeping security within the clubroom needs to be seriously looked into. I
hate to bring this up as it is a controversial issue but we really need to
do something about getting the cameras on camwhore operational on a longer
timeline. I think the argument that we are impinging on peoples privacy is
falling away rather fast, as we have a choice here:

1. Put up with people losing their stuff and the clubroom slowly being
stripped bare by thieves to protect members right to privacy
2. Accept that because this is a public place that there needs to be greater
security placed upon the room, and thus  keep a few decent frame rate
cameras pointed around the place as well as perhaps investing in some IR
lights

I don't have any problem with making these public to club members like some
people point out, if they are being filmed, they should have the right to
view the images they are in. Just remember that it could well be a member of
the club breaking into the clubroom. Members should feel safe to keep their
things in the clubroom if they donate them, but it is very clear they don't.
I have added an item to the agenda to get this looked into and voted upon
and i hope we can discuss what members think about this so we can please all
parties possible while still attracting members to donate items to the club
free of worry that they will be stolen.

Whilst securing things is a good idea, I think investing in a solution that
is better then the kensington style locks (which by the way can be cut with
a good pair of garden pruners) will be more prudent or at the very least a
further deterrent.

Thoughts and Suggestions?
