1. What's Been Happening At UCC

UCC has started the year strong, we have a large number of first years 
actively involved with the club, certainly more first years than we have 
had in previous years! This year's initiative of Monday at the Movies is 
going strong, with our next showing being on May 11 where Sneakers will be 
shown. Further events can be seen at:

As most members will be aware, the Wii that was in the clubroom has been 
stolen on the night of 26th April at approximately midnight. We have only 
one image of the thief from the webcams:

If anyone recognizes the man in the photos, they are encouraged to send an 
email to either president@ or committee-only@

2. Annual Quiz Night

The Annual UCC-Unisfa Quiz Night is being held this Friday in the UWA Tav 
starting at 8am. The last of the pre-sale tickets are available in the 
snack machine and a limited number of tickets will be available on the 
night. Door prizes are available and members should be reminded that 
bribes may be accepted by the judges.

3. Security Announcements

There have been a number of practices recently that may have caused a 
security risks to UCC and Cameron Hall in general. Firstly, members are 
reminded to close both the top and bottom doors when leaving at night to 
ensure the maximum security for the club. In addition, if any door does 
not open or appears to be jammed, do not use force to open the door.  If 
you find that a door cannot be opened, please contact the Guild and they 
will be able to assist you.  Finally, all members are encouraged to be 
aware of who is around the club and be aware of anyone who is not apart of 
the club.
