For the edification of curious old guard, here is a complete list of things that have changed in UniSFA during this century:
– They moved the bins out into the hall, and it doesn't smell now
– They got a nice rug, and it looks nice now
– It all got incredibly queer and progressive
– Freezer contains Zooper Doopers (30c)
– Couches are about 4 times more comfortable, on average
– People attend their classes far more frequently
– They've abolished the chip tax
ummmm, I think that's it.
Thanks,
Ada

Annique got put in contact with programmer for next year and they’re keen for younger audience targets. They asked whether we could promote some of their screenings which we can probably do. There have also been talks of unisfa run panels and on panels. This might mean we could get cheaper tickets. The old guard talked about things and there was a lot of support for Unisfa. There was also lot of talk about 40th anniversary with a lot of people put in contact with. Annique will grab a whole thing of connections to give to next committee.

> As one of these old guard: yes! We love you guys! It's always great seeing unisfans at Swancon, I know it's expensive but it's always great when any of you can make it, you're the Future of Fandom and all that :)

> Also, something I think I've said before but the current committee were all probably in highschool at the time so I'll say it again: I, and I would say most ex-members, feel like Unisfa belongs to the current active members, especially current UWA students. The club meant a lot to me in my day, and I still have a lot of affection for it. I am very happy when I can help out unisfans or offer advice, especially when it comes to welcoming young people into the older-people-dominated parts of fandom. But as long as the committee are still holding to the general principles of the club (which you and every committee have done during my 20 years as a member) I don't feel like it's my place to interfere or poke at your decisions. I still remember how annoying it was when a bunch of the old guard of the day railed against those of us in the 1999 committee about the Evils Of Getting A TV, and would never want to be that guy. It's your club now.

> I also don't want to fill the list with my rambling so don't tend to post much, but like lurking to keep an affectionate eye on what the club is up to. And you seem to be doing great! I hope to meet some of you at the 40th, health permitting.

> Gengiscon was there launching their 2018 convention. It was made as a reaction to swan con as it’s more affordable and aimed at students with it only $25 for students for the whole week. This is not until next january and we will need to deal with. Annique has a ticket already

Everyone on committee except maybe Finley and Kurt are coming. Harry will be bringing eggs and will use committee chat to organise carpool. It starts at 11 and committee people should arrive 15 minutes beforehand and start liveblogging their location
> Stargazing
> Jack is organising what people are doing on the day. Space is doing everything but the food so we need to bring sausages, buns, (gluten free). This is a paid event so pulling all the stops with actual buns.We have water in cupboards and need to get soft drinks. We already have tea and coffee supplies and will do check of that. Fridge Run will happen on Saturday as well.

> Alien Screening
> The movie comes out Thursday 11th May and quiz night is night after so we don’t want to do them in a row. But also don’t want to do it too late so maybe 20th May. Saturday, Kai would run all-day screening of all alien screenings and then collectively go to new alien movie. we need to lock in that for EMP

Like the wheeled trolley that used to be donation trolley but doesn’t fit anymore so we may need to repurpose it. We also need to change return box as well. We do not have bench space anymore so need to change things.
