President's Report:
 o Lots of people have been helpful with the room. Thanks to them.

Vice-president's Report:

	cafe together in time!

Secretary's Report:
 o Secretary has a big bum.
 o (Absent without notice.)

Machine Reports:
 o [MTL] installed an extraction fan in the machine room with good results.
 o We have more working terminals. NIS works almost everywhere, Ian did some 
	evilness to the NeXT boxes. The Sun boxes need setting up, [GMB]
	has Loki working.
 o NFS needs fixing. Erwin will have evil stuff done to it.
 o Scarlet still needs an operating system.
 o Morwong will no longer reboot when tapped. Environmental sensor has been 
	'adjusted' - Morwong is our new 300Mhz Alpha Server.
 o We are having Loki running Linux (with Mikolaj's grace), one of the IPXs
	with OpenBSD and the other with Solaris.

General business;
 o We need mice. We also need to terminate the people taking of PS/2
	SGI branded mice. [GMB] moves we buy 10 mice, tax-inc so we can
	sell them on.  Seconded by [MEL]. Passed by apathy.
 o We got $1.95 per member for our O'Day grant. Grant = $211.47.
 o We need spare/original membership cards. We need to find Bers.
	New members should have it noted if they didn't receive a card on their 
	membership forms. They can then come back and get one.
 o AGM reminder - it is this Friday. Nominations will close just before
	the election for the position takes place. The text from the AGM
	was taken from '94 or '95 announcement - if there is a problem
	now there was a problem before!
 o Organise, ratify and archive minutes. We doubt that the minutes will
	appear. The next Secretary should archive the minutes that are
	mailed out on the web page.
 o DEC Licenses - payment form signed.
 o Fresher's Welcome. UCC has been mailed, but the rest of the members can't
   be contacted by postal mail in time.
 o Food/Drinks. FAL and Coke runs will be done on the weekend by [NTU],
	[YAK], [MTL] and [BRQ]. (Saturday morning.)
 o Cameron for door. [YAK] moves Cameron for door group. [MEL] seconded.
	Passed unanimously.
 o Beer for the Fresher's Welcome. We will buy:
	 o Beer (EB - minuter vomits in advance.) - a couple of cartons.
	   $60 approx.
	 o Free pizza for the freshers!
 o [YAK] moves that we declare the position of Secretary vacant due to
	absence. Passed by a majority.
