Barcraft

• We are planning a barcraft for the first term, but the specific event is still undecided.
• Event will probably take place on a Sunday, as the finals of all European events take place then despite problems with the Duck shutting earlier.
• Action: decide on an event next exec meeting so zed0 can book the Duck asap.

Future programming competitions:

• The idea of a one day programming competition was the most popular, with a set time limit for the tasks.
• The idea of a golf course was popular, but also problematic. Suggested that it was added as an extra to the other (3?) problems.

Christmas meal

• Wing-Wah’s will be booked for week 10. Monday night was a popular suggestion so it is after the end of term LAN.

Friday night gaming sessions in DCS

• Consoles will be brought in by members to help with possible demand.
• Idea to set up special Minecraft maps was popular (hunger games, deathmatch).
