Since the TV was so far after my day, I had no feels about it. And
in any case, it could hardly be less social than obsessive bridge
playing.
Anyway, I second Sophie's comments about you guys doing as you want. I
will say that Unisfa booked a room for the con Terry Pratchett was at.
That was the first Swancon I went to and it was a lot more fun with
everyone sleeping there.
Cheers
Emma

Subject:Re: [Unisfa] Committee Meeting Minutes
a thing that happened which was really good. We should push it more
next year but there is the expense for students. 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.

2. EVENTS
* _Swancon_
* a thing that happened which was really good. We should push it more
next year but there is the expense for students. 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

with a lot of people put in contact with. Annique will grab a whole
thing of connections to give to next committee.
* 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
* Annique met a whole bunch of authors and got books signed. Simon
will find a spot to display them in.
* _Sponsor Crawl_
* Harry has money for that and will put in fanny pack on the day. All
is looking good.
* _Easter Picnic_
* There is not anything to report as it’s all planned and good but
what day should the fridge run be? It will happen this saturday as
easter eggs have been bought 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.
* Jack has made a post on carpooling.
* Simon is bringing fairy lights and stuff.
* CCC or committee meeting or have a car in general, please offer up
carpooling
* bring torches, fairy lights and lights in general.
* _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
* We’ll probably so to events innaloo because close to stirling
station and buses.
* Edward can start emp and get in touch with Kai, we’re going to
have to go with that day.
* _Unisfa goes to Panto_
* 12th of May,
* _Cameron Hall First Aid_
* still confirming date for that. Low-key handed over to Alex from
UCC because makes sense for person doing first aid to be doing the
event.
* _Cameron Hall Quiz Night_
* Jack and Cam have done posters that are getting reviewed and we
will have dark guizmittee meeting, sell tickets,
* _Welfare Week_
* will not need to do emp for other stuff than pyjama party, unisfa
goes’s during this week, Finley will do slime factory event.
* Unisfa goes to the zoo on the weekend of welfare week, group
booking deals screen zootopia afterwards. This will be on the 27th of
May and Edward has had a quick chat to casey.
* There will be alcohol at the Zoo restaurant but our event is
alcohol free
* _Camp_
* Booking is confirmed so we can start doing itinerary once we have a
site map so we know what we’ll be doing. Edward has emailed them
asking for that and is now waiting for them to get back to us.
* People need to do food training
* need more feedback
3. SCREENINGS
Book Club
* next book club is Thursday. The next one is May 4th which is the
day we’re going to pantomime. We need to contact leah about what she
wants to do. Simon will do so.
We need to start screenings more at 5 because better for people just
finishing classes. problems for public transport, issue for freshers
and other people. 5 will be a benchmark.
* Monday - Lucifer w/Simon
* Tuesday - Labyrinth and Dark Crystal w/Tim - Anzac Day,
* Wednesday - Holy Musical Batman
* Thursday - Dreamworks biggest mistakes w/ Finley shitposting,
* Friday - Twilight zone or mystery science theatre,
4. BOOK REMOVAL
Book Appeals
One appeal for Dianetics due to us not having a lot of Hubbard
books. Th appeal says that the book is not completely religious and
they do not want Unisfa to purge religion in total. We won’t need to
address this this week. We will vote on this next week.
Books for Removal List
_Invisible Monsters_ by Chuck Palahniuk
* Book about a teenage girl is physically disfigured and experiences
the social isolation that comes from it, explores identity issues,
* It is a product of its time
* Motion to add to book removal list library - motion passes
unanimously
Books to be Removed from Library
_Nose picking for Pleasure: A Handy Guide _by Roland Flickett

_Black Sunday _by Thomas Harris
* no appeals,
* Motion to remove from library - motion passes unanimously
_Hannibal _by Thomas Harris
* is technically impossible for Hannibal to exist based on
psychological reasons, is implied to be more magical realism. is a
staple in horror genre. lends itself greatly to sci-fi/fantasy books,
highly referenced in popular culture. on the edge,
* Motion to remove from library - motion passes with 6 votes for, 2
votes against and 1 abstain.
5. FACEBOOK GROUPS
* There are too many people to invite to events
* separate unisfa persona that friends everyone.
* Edward thinks that we should have waited until the committee
meeting to make the persona.
* people can opt out of events by not friending it.
* everyone can access it on committee to add people and invite people
to events. don’t want it to be a faceless committee thing. long term
solution
* Andre has been spoken to in regards to pantomime one and it seems
to be working well for them.
* we’ll see how it works, and then see about screening pages.
* will only invite people who want to go to events.
* currently called Unisfa Deepthought, linked to deep thought email
and should be good for committee handover, will need changes to
handover booklet
* Annique will add all of committee so we can have a look and monitor
it beforehand.
* Kurt has made a quick bio. It is good.
6. TENANCY
We have new cupboards and we like them as it looks good for us. They
are very deep and big and clean. We will need to re-evaluate what we
put outside. 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.
7. GENERAL BUSINESS
SOC Meeting
* casey has broken her arm which has slowed down submissions. But a
new guy started yesterday so hopefully it is speeding up.
* We can now sell merchandise through second hand bookshop
* There is student engagement program so we need to get dates so we
know about high schoolers infiltrating our uni ground. We can opt in
to have our club promoted to young people. We are keen for this to
relate to the youth.
* social justice week is on week 2 semester 2
* SOC is trying to fix the mailing list
SOC Mailing List
* said they’ll compile a list and send emails to us about fixing
our emails.
* Yet this defeats the purpose so they’ll get back to us
_Finley’s Positive Thought of the Week_: Fin loves us all and we
love Finley. They also recommend a documentary.
FINISH: 5:56pm
ACTION ITEMS
ANNIQUE: contact SOC about student engagement, kick chris
