No apologies had been received.
1. Cuppers
Cuppers was good! Profit of ~£1300 of which ~£650 to TAFF.
AP will send round notes on how to run it for next year.
Thanks expressed to all involved.
A thanks and details email will follow from AP to those involved.
TAFF Sound Effects CD3 Missing, presumed lost in BT? Keep a look out.
2. Moser Store
Currently new system is kind of working.
Still ultimately controlled by WADS but suggest we submit formal letter to DB of Wadham about looking after in future.
CatC to write and Committee to approve next term.
Need to find better system of securing Moser Store and better liaison with Moser Theatre Manager.
Shall we pay Moser Store Manager? (CatC made herself scarce at this point) Consensus of yes (including this term). How much? Based on roughly £10-15 per week of full term committee agreed figure of £100 per term.
We must be aware if we take responsibility we need to keep in mind replacements in the future.
JA to set up email account forwarders for this position.
3. OUDS Meeting Updates
CJ and AP have been having great fun attending OUDS meetings.
Japan Tour is going to Georgia (next to Russia) or possibly NW America.
Rethinking the OUDS Summer Tour – cut down on venues?
NWF coming next term, which TAFF might help with.
They were happy with Cuppers but for a few small issues.
They will produce accounts for Cuppers for us by next term.
4. Confirmation of Replacement of Workshops Rep
RH unwell and hence resigned position.
Stephen Goodman happy to take this position until end of Hilary when new committee chosen.
Committee happy with this.
5. Senior Member(s)
OUDS have two, and seeking a 3rd, Senior Memebers.
Could this be useful for TAFF?
Maybe make Mark Robers an additional Senior Member.
JA to contact James Methven for his thoughts on this.
