  • Happy birthday [TEC].
  • Attended Charity Vigil, but avoided other meetings :D
  • Helped with a few things, see later in the minutes.

Secretary's Report

  • [MPT] cut down the disco ball [BRD] and I put up. How could he?

  • [MPT] still needs to send me the AGM minutes.
  • Sent an email reminding people to send in their door re-applications.

Treasurer's Report

  • Paid [APA] back for his snack run.
  • Attended Charity Vigil, helped a little with VR set up. Turns out I'm real bad at BeatSaber.
  • Had a look at the Adobe packages. We need a UCC account for the website to get quotes though.

Fresher Rep's Report

  • Bought a nice $4 bowl from target that is now filled with old mints on the table. Now I'll stop tripping over the bag.

  • Compulsively ordered starbursts by colour and berated [BLU] and [MPT] for instantly taking all the pink ones.

  • Cleaned up under the tables, moved a few boxes around and put banner on top of machine room. Perhaps I'll stop bashing my knees on boxes now.

  • Ran an expired coke scull competition, muckguppy is inhuman with 12.15s. [BRD] tried and spilled it on himself.

  • Created an inventory of the snack/drink cupboard. Almost got crushed by some coke cans.

  • Fixed a command error on the door manual.

  • Bought my first drink, realised I have already spent $12 buying [BLU] drinks for various reasons. Help.

  • Purchased prizes for charity vigil.

  • Discovered where the mysterious door leads, and the fact that I am spatially challenged.

  • Discord

    • Posted a reminder for Fresher VR. [BRD] ignored it entirely, but he has birthday boy privileges, so I'll forgive him :)
    • Deleted fresher discord channel :(
    • Added a league channel which is actually active! We seem to be turning into the LOL Club.

OCM Reports

[APA]

  • Refunded 9 failed dispenses from spamming the broken Smiths slot at the vending machine.

  • Made poster for Build & Break a PC and submitted it to Guild.
  • Played so much league. So much league...

  • Secret SOC meeting.

    • From the 1st April 2021 all clubs must have 4 executives (minimum) with completed SLT qualifications before any club events can be organised.
    • Your club may continue to submit EMP’s and organise events without 4 executives who have completed SLT providing:
        1.    You are working towards having 4 executives (or 3 Execs if your club constitution states this) complete the training as soon as possible/ within the year.
          
        1.    Your event/s are study or academic in focus.
          
        1.    The event is not deemed high risk.
          
    • High risk events including major events, events with alcohol, camps & pub crawls will require additional approval from the Guild.
    • As advance warning, if you are holding any high-risk events of this nature in conjunction with other clubs, namely co-advertising or jointly staging – ALL club Execs from each club mus$
    • Please note SLT is valid for 3 years.
    • Foreshore events won’t be approved at the moment even if you don’t have alcohol.
  • [TEC] The guild master-plan rolls on.

    • The lift feasibility study results are back, short version: can be done, quite expensive.
    • UWA isn't willing to fund this, so currently estimating a 5-10 year timeframe.
    • Over the next 2-3 years guild intends to consult with long-term tenants to help guide their plan.
    • A few small changes may happen in the short-term future, e.g. better fire exits and a CH deep-clean.
    • Minutes were made, will share when received.

Tenancy

    • ACTION: [BLU] to sign the form. Make sure [TEC] isn't here so WestPac stays open.

Events

Fresher VR

  • [BLU] can still run the event even though she hasn't completed her SLT yet.
  • Need to figure out what pizzas will be available and make a form.
  • Need to ask [MPT] if he can pick up the pizza, cause [BLU] and [EGG] are still kiddies who don't have their drivers licence.
    • Otherwise [BLU] and [EGG] will need to beg people in Cameron Hall to pick up the pizza for them.
    • Surely [BLU]'s puppy dog eyes will work 😭

Charity Vigil

  • Still waiting on $10 buy in from PCS to add to the funds.
    • UCC has the cash box with most all the other clubs' donations in it.

  • Start using Instagram to take PC internals photos?
  • Still have no parts for our PCs lined up so far 😒
    • There are a few parts shortages going on ATM, looks like we'll probably just do some partial upgrades and hopefully the situation will improve by next semester so we can run a follow-up event.
    • If you have any ideas, please reply to the tech@ email.

Tech Talk - LaTeX

  • [TEC]: I'm going to do it.
  • Feels unusually qualified given I've been contracted in the past for LaTeX work.
  • Maybe a FB event will be made decently in advance for once.

Moar Tech Talks?

  • This is the end of the pre-scheduled line up. It would be good to work out more events over the next few weeks.
  • Ask for expressions of interest, we've had that BHP guy reach out too.
