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.
6. Any Other Business:
a) TAFF Dinner & AGM
- 6th Week Hilary looks good (UPDATE: Now looking more likely 7th week)
- Talk to Mark Robers about having in Lincoln.
- Costs investigated and discussed at next meeting c.£20-£25/
b) Meeting frequency
- Can we aim for 4 meetings a term?
c) Thespionage petition
- Do committee members want to sign?
- Agreed that this must be in a personal capacity
- JA will email it round so people can decide what they want to do. (UPDATE: It has now been emailed round the TAFF list – if you wish to sign it follow the instructions in the email from Barney Norris)
d) Website
- Clearup and add to Hire Centre
- Look at Moser and OFS links
- Maybe copy the information from their website with appropriate attribution etc.
- Fix the banner typo.
Meeting closed at 12:15pm.

- Workshop (building)
- The committee were very pleased about the potential for acquiring this
- It was agreed that we should probably be happy to pay up to about £500 per year
- Moser Store
- In light of Matt Neale resigning it was agreed that TAFF should approach Wadham with a view to taking reponsibility for the Moser Store
- Potentially TAFF could organise a paid, fixed time job to keep it tidy and liaise keys with companies using the store.
- CCleary will speak to Wadham Works department about this.
- CJ reminded everyone to come and help clear out the store on Weknesday of 5th week. Contact her for more information.
- Workshops
- CJ suggested a TAFF Workshops day early in Freshers’ week. Generally the committee felt that this wouldn’t be the best way of getting people involved.
- Alternatively, it was suggested that we ran a 2 hour workshop, first hour a general introduction and second hour splitting into separate groups (and then going to pub).
- RH said that she would organise this
- AP said he would do anything. This was probably not meant literally.
- Freshers’ Fair
- We need a banner
- We must ensure Sam will get 3 tables for TAFF – CJ to speak to Sam
- Meeting Times
- It was felt that we weren’t going to be able to agree a single time for this.
- CJ asked everyone to just have a bit of a think about it.
- Saturday Mornings were suggested.
- OFS Feedback Meeting
- RH to forward the committee the minutes of this meeting
- The OFS won’t buy a new ladder
- The committee decided not to look into writing a report about getting a screwable floor.
- On the committee’s suggestion JA agreed to adder Rory to the TAFF associate mailing list.
- Any Other Business
- JA agreed to add Stephen Goodman to the committee mailing list so that he could attend meetings as an observer.
