1. Committee Reports

President

Left cd cases for the loose disks, went to different events and screenings, went to a bunch of different subcommittee meetings and set up unisfa deep thought Facebook page but will go into more detail later.

Vice President

The Easter picnic went well and then went to the camp subcommittee, myguild is down which is bad so we can’t update emps but there are no problems because Casey is aware of this. He can complete them quickly when the site is back up. Also made the next book theme poster.

Secretary

Got my food I’m Alert thing done and sent that to Ed and Jack, did the emp and just waiting for that. Also went to a bunch of events this weekend which were all really good and the camp subcommittee meeting.

Treasurer

Completed leadership training plus camp training, accidentally got a book donated on the sponsor crawl. He  couldn’t do the Twilight Zone screening but may do another one soon. Also went to stargazing and saw a gold star ( Annique says he is a gold star), attended starmittee meeting and regained money and deposited it to account.

Librarian

Did a bunch of things, did sponsor crawl and all the sponsors are down for prizes. Also first aided for events and no one was injured. Have spoken with creative writing and poetry club who are cool and interested in competitions. Also did leadership training and screened lucifer.

Fresher Rep

Have completed leadership training and went to many events and the camp subcommittee meeting. Then made a fresher page post about suggestions for camp but no one responded because freshers are too cool for us

OCM Report - Finley

Finley has achieved action items, we’re proud.

OCM Report - Jack

The stargazing is complete and we made $5.

OCM Report - Kurt

*Screaming* Gahhhhh. He had two midsems and is caught up to nothing. Also went to leadership training and have thought about the camp poster


2. Events

  *   Sponsor Crawl

  *   Simon spent $598.20 which was $1.80 less than we were going to. Stefan donated a lot of free books There is one book on order and will be picked up by next week and Simon will be going back for quiz night prizes.
  *   bought the required books for half of membership sign up and bought all of the books required due to the book removals.

  *   Stargazing

  *   They had the meeting earlier. The weather could have been better but still good and only criticism was that we needed bbq sauce. There were 6 non-members from the 20 people that showed up. There was too much food so now we have extra snacks and things which are in the cupboard and available for sale so will probably need a sign made up. The chips are $3, the marshmallows are $5 and the lollies are $2.50. We needed more lights but due to the generator we could not have any more. We can re-use the book club questions because we didn’t get around to them. Each club made around  $5 wit each club spending $75 roughly and making back around $80 each. Space will reimburse us for expenses. each club.
  *   probably will not do again next semester as it ended up not that relevant to our club interests as there was not enough book club discussion

  *   Easter Picnic

  *   It went well although we didn’t do the egg hunt due to laziness and more people wanted to hide the eggs than to hunt them. Still a good time had by all but we should pick a spot next time with more consistent shade.
  *   Maybe more in clubroom advertising but don’t want it to be awkward for people though. We don’t want to pressure people into going to events. Could be different for free events?
  *   At least more frequent event posting and in clubroom discussion
  *   Katherine suggests not on the day before classes come back so people aren’t too stressed. So maybe the saturday not sunday
  *   Patrick suggests a scavenger hunt for easter eggs. maybe in next semester’s picnic?

  *   Cameron Hall First Aid

  *   Have dates, Annique has emailed casey

  *   Cameron Hall Quiz Night

  *   Annique has started writing quiz night questions. The poster is done and is disgusting. Jack will put it up into the clubroom soon. The ultimate shitpost of a poster. They still haven’t had another meeting but have organised a lot of stuff in chats.

  *   Unisfa Goes Panto

  *   Talked to Leah and we are reorganising book club for that day, Leah is moving to wednesday for that week.

  *   Unisfa Goes Alien

  *   Kai is free for all alien movies beforehand but we will need to confirm precise timing. Emp not approved due to myguild but there shouldn’t be any issues. Marathon during the day and then go at night to the movies. Can just meet at Innaloo cinema if people do not want to marathon all the aliens movies.

  *   Welfare Week

  *   Emp is in but my guild is not working so we’ll have to deal with it.

  *   Unisfa Goes Zoo

  *   Emp confirmed, booking with zoo confirmed, all a go and we’ll make a Facebook event soon. And we have several options for payment.
  *   We could pay on the day and get people to bring money on the day. It would be better if the Zoo will send us an email. We will only have to pay based on who comes which is good.

  *   Camp

  *   The sub committee meeting happened. The emails to DARE have happened and things are going.


3. Screenings

  *   Monday - Lucifer w/Annique - Simon can’t make it so Annique will run it
  *   Tuesday - Final Fantasy w/Tom, he will bring playstation
  *   Wednesday - Book Club w/Leah - AI in sci-fi
  *   Thursday - Unisfa goes Pantomime
  *   Friday - Danger 5 w/Theo


4. Facebook Groups

  *   We have an issue, Facebook has realised that unisfa is not a person. could just call it unisfa smith? the name is the issue
  *   Panto’s one is working, but ours is similar to a UN group which could be why it was flagged
  *   need to be subtle, and clear about who we are
  *   Science Union is SU which is like a person’s name which could be why their one is still fine
  *   We will do a trial and error to see what we can do. We need to make it work as it could be permanent.
  *   We need to do events and zoo thing so will sort it out today or tomorrow. We still got under 500 members right now with 499 members so need to invite people quickly
  *   Edward makes a quick zoo event before it goes up again


5. Book Removal

6. Tenancy

  *   Annique has talked to Taylor about compact bookshelves in corridor and we will probably be able to do it if we give up some of our tenancy given space.
  *   We don’t know yet how many cupboards we will be getting so we need to know that first to have a bargaining tool
  *   Have lost books to mould so anthologies and a lot of books could fit in the compact bookshelves
  *   The cupboards have been used to store books already so we wouldn’t lose space really.
  *   Annique will propose for us to have one cupboard near the clubroom and the compact bookshelves
  *   We also need to reorganise the clubroom
  *   We can always ask for more cupboards if we need them.
