Minutes
Compsoc constitution
- The legendary Compsoc constitution has been found and it was passed around in all its photocopied glory for all to witness.
Sci-fi society room request
- Permission has been granted for sci-fi society to use Lib1 on Wednesday of BFL from approximately 2-7pm.
- Popular suggestions included “stamping biscuits in the floor” and “removing all tables and chairs” before giving them the room. However, these were ultimately rejected.
- The state of the room will be checked afterwards to ensure we are not blame for any possible misconduct.
Progcomps
- Prizes and suggestions for the competitions were discussed.
Bletchley Park
- The paperwork has been completed and it has been decided the currently planned date will be used despite the timing during summer term.
- One minibus and possibly one people carrier will transport people there and back.
- The trip will be visiting the gift shop and packed lunches will be brought. Mr Wilson would love a packed lunch, unfortunately it seems like he will have to make his own.
Recycling at LANs
- The issue of grease stopping the pizza boxes from being recycled was brought up.
- More bins will be bought so recycling can be organized. Moltenfire will be in charge of this.
- ”Are you in charge of buying bins?” “Yes, I have a collection.”
