SUMMARY OF MINUTES FROM MEETING ON 31/10/06

1. Society Officers
   §  We have appointed Rachel Powell Secretary.
   §  We appointed Soheila Sokhavari to the new position of Graphics Designer. This will be a full committee position.
   §  We agreed to appoint Salih Sheikh from Homerton to be Technical Officer. He has said that he is happy to store the equipment out at Homerton and bring it in to people who ask to borrow it.
   §  There has been no word from Chris or Meg. Brian is going to send a final ultimatum email to Chris, asking whether he wishes to resign as Treasurer.
   §  We appointed some more College Reps and will shortly publish all the Reps on the website. The College Reps will be regarded as part of the Extended Committee but will not be expected to attend weekly committee meetings.
    
2. Freshers' 48-hour Competition
   §  Kirsty, Jenny, Rachel and Lydia will judge.
   §  We will show Michael Axelgaard's half hour film 'The Inheritance of Mark Gavin' in the interval whilst we judge.
    
3. Newspaper Articles
   §  Varsity  Varsity accepted a response article, for the Arts Column, written by Lydia and Rob. Bella will contact the Varsity online editor, who had shown some interest in doing something on Cinecam.
    
4. Funding
   Bella will look into CUSU funding.
    
5. Social Screenings
   We agreed to show 'Intacto' on 6th November and 'Ghost World' on 27th November, both in Brian's room in King's. We are rescheduling the screening of 'Requiem' to 13th November but await confirmation from Vertigo.
    
6. Editing Facilities
   Lydia reported that there are 3 computers in the PWF which have Final Cut Express installed. Users would need to bring their own external hard-drives, as the PWF only allocates 500MB of space. There is also one licence for Final Cut Studio, which is owned by CARET and could be withdrawn at any time.
    
7. Equipment
   §  We agreed that, if another society wishes to borrow our equipment, rather than an individual Cinecam member, we would let them do so for £6/day. Cinecam members would always be given preference, however.
   §  Members are allowed to borrow a camera for as long as they want, if no-one else wants it. However, if someone has been borrowing a camera for more than 5 days and someone else asks for it, then that person must return it as soon as possible.
    
8. Meeting with SOC DOC SOC
   Subsequent to Brian's and Rob's meeting with SOC DOC SOC, we agreed that we would allow SOC DOC SOC members to become Cinecam full members for a reduced price of £12. (The price of half membership would still be £5.) We are also considering having a 48-hour or other joint competition with them next term.
