1. Website:

- Jake suggests we look at using group spaces rather than our current mailing list: Jake to look into this
2. Drill: we no longer have a charger for the drill that TAFF don’t own or lend to people. We could either buy a new drill or a new charger. The meeting simultaneously agreed on both, confusingly. But TAFF don’t own a drill or lend it to people…
3. Moser Manager: we need to find someone to run the Moser next year as Catherine Cleary is going to be in Princeton
- Juliette to make a list of all those in Wadham, Hertford and New to contact
4. Next meeting: this term is busy and this will be difficult to schedule. We are going to ‘doodle’ it. Apparently.
5. Cuppers: Drama Cuppers will be in 7th week of Michalmas, as West Side Story is in 6th week
6. Workshops:
- We decided that we don’t want to have any more workshops this term as people have exams.
- We discussed workshops for next term, and having a freshers event to be widely promoted as an introduction to Oxford theatre and an opportunity to meet other technicians. We want to find the ‘secret techies’ at Oxford.
- We also want a ‘What to do if my LD gets hit by a bus’ or ‘Technical Theatre for Dummies’ workshop at the start of Michalmas.
- Josh will run a cardboard furniture workshop in Michalmas.
- What should you do if your LD gets hit by a bus? No firm answer was agreed on
