Hi! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Alexandra and I'm the social events rep for CASSA. <br>(Those who <i>do </i>know me might know me as Eskilla.)<br><br>Yesterday in IRC, discussion with spartan and tpg of UCC resulted in the idea of a party hosted by both of our clubs sometime next month. We'd probably hold it at UCC's clubroom as theirs is actually big enough to call it a room - CASSA's is more like a clubcloset*. We could order some catering - pizza, subway platters, and nando's platters were discussed, but pretty much every fast food place does catering at this point - and pre-pay it out of our club funds. Attendees could pay a set fee (about $8 should cover it) to reimburse the clubs. I figure as long as we have good, solid RSVP numbers, we should be able to do this.<br>
<br>UCC has plenty of computers, so you guys could provide the PC games - perhaps even set up a Artemis ship for walk-up/drop out play. CASSA has a PS3 to offer, and I'm sure between our memberships we could hustle up a couple more consoles. Not sure what COMSSA has.<br>
<br>Food+Games+a music system=awesome fun times.<br><br>We'll want to make sure that we have the right amount of food and games for attendees (and in this, my main concern would be buying too <i>much</i> food and bringing <i>more</i> consoles then we need, resulting in extra work). I think the first order of business on the Mixer would be each club determining who's likely to show up to a party <b>with a small entry fee</b> (as that can change likely numbers). Ask around, do a poll, request emails - whatever you think will work best with your individual club, but please impress upon members that we need reliable attendance numbers to plan this for maximum awesomeness.<br>
<br><u><b>First Order of Business: </b></u><b>Is your club interested? Will your club be able to front some money for catering? How many of your members do you think will show? What funtimes-related resources will your club be able to provide (consoles, PC's if we don't have this at UCC, sound system, lights maybe)?</b><br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Alexandra<br>Events Rep, CASSA<br>Edith Cowan University<br><br><br>*although, I keep hearing something about UCC moving rooms, or doing renovation, or something?? Not sure what the sitch is, but if that's not do-able we can book our usual MegaLAN space at ECU ML. That's got 3 projectors and capacity of about 100 people; it should be fine.**<br>
<br>**Actually, before we pick a place, maybe we should try to figure out a likely attendance number - UCC's got a good amount of space, but I get the impression from COMSSA's FB page that they might be DTP*** and if there's enough people, ECU ML might be more suitable. I don't know. Let's get those numbers.<br>
