[committee] [unisfa-committee] Quiz Night (fwd)

[Sam Moore]

For those who are interested, here is the continuing Quiz Night 
discussion.

For those who are not interested, do not read this email.

Summary:
- 11/08/11 was suggested (by me) as a date, and no one on ucc committee 
had a problem with it.
- Jeremy Cole spoke to Gary and booked the date.
- However, there may be an issue with the band competition which runs in 
August
- The concern raised by Nick is that the Activities Officer might take our 
booking away because of this
- The concern raised by Violet is that it might be too much hassle to work 
around the band competition anyway
- If we are forced to or choose to avoid the band competition, we can't 
book the tavern until at least September
- Band competition runs from 3:00pm to 7:00pm; we can only have the tavern 
to 11:00pm, so I asked if anyone who had prior experience thought that 
this gave us enough time to set up and run the quiz night.
- [DJA] and I are still working on questions
- I asked if [DJA] and I could do anything else to help

I am aware that lots of other things need to be organised, like sponsors 
and tickets and advertising etc, but I think we need a fixed date first.

Feedback/Comments/Trolling/Flames?

PS: The band competition was not mentioned on any of the 
calendars/schedules that I looked at before suggesting the date.

Hello,

If there is an issue with that date (11/08), I'd imagine that we'd just have to 
do it in September; unless it would be preferable to have the quiz night the 
week before? I wasn't aware of the band competition when I suggested week 2; it 
is not actually on the tavern schedule yet.

According to the guild website, the band competition heats run for 3 weeks, on 
Thursdays and fridays from Week 2 to Week 4, from 3:00pm to 7:00pm.

So, I would imagine that we wouldn't be able to start any earlier than 8:00pm? 
Does anyone know how much time it normally takes for the whole running of the 
quiz night? I think someone said that the latest we can have the tavern is 
11:00pm, so it might be cutting things a bit fine to have the event on the same 
day as the band competition.

Anyway Daniel Axtens (dja) and I have started writing questions; if there is 
anything else we can help with at this stage, let me know.
