[committee] Involving Freshers in the Club

[Bob Adamson]

Hi all,

It appears to me that the number of freshers that we have managed to 
retain in the club this year is pretty poor. Even if this is just in my 
imagination, you can't deny that the number of fresher focussed events we 
have run this semester is lacking. I have been tasked with sending some 
ramblings to the list with some ideas of what we can do.

Anyway, here goes:
-send an email to all freshers (NOT to their ucc address) reminding them 
to come to the club, activate their accounts, sign up to the lists, and 
come to our events (anyone know how we might technically do this?). Also 
when did we last do a bulk signup of freshers from the memberdb to the 
announce list?
-hold a second Learn 2 Linux night, where we cover some of the more fun 
stuff like setting up a server and making it accessible to the world. I'm 
happy to do this on Wednesday May 25.
-more lans. This is purely limited by enthusiasm and the number of people 
willing to organise them.
-I have more ideas, but I feel that we're limited by the number of people 
willing to take the initiative to run events at the moment.
