President's Report:

	* Photocopied posters for the programming competition in bright
	fluoro colors, and then ran around the guild courtyard and stuck them up
	with masking tape.  

[ORU] arrives.

	* Made RAID0 work on the mirror site.

Vice President's Report:

	* Got office bearers form.
	* Getting an ironing board off [MEL] soon, will chase up keys then.
	* Mac monitors - Vince from Winthrop is on Maternity leave. [MST]
	will email some gumby at Apple. 

Treasurer's Report:

	* Sort of paid bills.

Secretary's Report:

	* Photocopied membership forms, network usage information, letter
	heads and membership cards. 

[ORU] goes to measure the membership cards to see if they're the right
size - apparently we had this problem earlier in the year. 
[GMB] moves that James be stricken from the record.

Correspondence Report:

	* Received a video card, and a multi IO card via internal mail.

Machine Report:

	* Beige is working now.
	* Manta is pretty much working - it has a bad tape drive.
	* AbiWord install [fscked] up on mussel.

General Business:

	* SOC Busy Bee - Cleanup was good. SOC was vaguely happy with the
	room. [GMB], [NTU], [MST], [MTL], [ORU] and Anthony Briggs turned
	up. Must rally for clubs who didn't turn up to get kicked out. Solid 
	Gold, Gonad Clan and INC had no delegates. [GMB] told SOC what was
	wrong with the door, and that we want to be able to unlock it from the
	inside. Froggy was running around with a list of things that
	needed to be fixed in Cameron Hall.     

	* Programming Competition - [GMB] says that [BEN] has a really
	cool problem. We need to promote it more. People should get up at the
	beginning of their lectures to promote it, or atleast show the
	transparency. [TAZ] says she'll email the CS lists. Make [BEN] put
	it up on the UWA homepage, and [MTL] to put it on UCS news.  

[GMB] Marcia did Law.
[MST] What? All of them?
[YAK] Did she show them the transparency aswell?

	* We should set up on Friday night, we'll put the DEC server 300 
	and run some LAN stuff into the loft. 

[BRQ] leaves.

	*We don't have a liquor permit, so we can't provide alcohol. We
	said we'd provide free food and drinks, so we need to work out how much
	we're prepared to spend on coke etc. We won't be providing unlimited
	drinks, we'll provide and unlimited subset. Once said subset runs out,
	we'll refill it, and start charging for drinks. O-Day system not 
	suitable for this situation, it's a pain in the ass, and we just want to
	promote a laid back atmosphere. We'll provide pizza after a few hours,
	and the next morning everyone can go and get Maccas or something
	if they want (everyone to provide their own).         

	* Prizes - [GMB] suggests a $200 cash first prize. We'll also have
	random spot prizes, eg $10 coke credits. [BEN] and [GMB] will work out
	what the spot prizes are going to be.

[GMB] moves $100 for free drinks, $100 for pizza and $300 for
prizes. Passed.


	* Quiz Night - [TAZ] to book Tav. [GMB] to chase up free drinks.

[GMB] We should organise a tour of the Observatory. We can get in for
academic rates, and [AJW] will give us a tour.
	
	* Sponsorship - talk to Tibor at Apple.

[TIE] for door. [TIE] receives a grilling on door rules. [GMB] moves [TIE]
for door, [YAK]/[ANT] seconds. Passed.

Meeting closed 6:48pm.
