Ahoy Gang, <br>

MY MOTHER SAID I NEVER SHOULD:<br>
<br>
This fascinating all-female show will be on in the Venue next week at
8pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Admittance is 5 euro for non-members
and a paltry 4 euro for members!<br>
<br>
It promises to be an excellent production, not to be missed :)<br>
<br>
<br>
DCU DRAMA AGM:<br>
<br>
Wanna be a part of DCU Drama's committee next year?<br>
<br>
Wanna have a say in what productions take place, and how they are done?<br>
<br>
Wanna bask in glory?<br>
<br>
Then come to the DCU Drama AGM on Tuesday 11th at 6pm, CG86 (the pit).<br>
<br>
We'll be electing a new committee, so it is vital that we get quorum at our AGM (currently about 35 members).<br>
<br>
You cannot afford to miss this opportunity!<br>
<br>
One of our members has proposed a constitutional change to DCU Drama,
and I am including her proposal here as it needs to be advertised at
least 3 working days before the AGM.<br>
<br>
I am also including a copy of DCU Drama's Constitution as an attachment!<br>
<br>
There are a few other constitutional changes proposed, including the
creation of the position of Set Designer, which, depending on our
membership, may need to be voted upon at the AGM.<br>
<br>
Here's a word from Elaine, who is proposing at least one change - see what you think!<br>
<br>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><div>Hi Folks</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>As you will see here from this constitution any proposed
amendments being made to the constitution should be announced to the
members at least three days before the meeting. That means tomorrow at
the latest.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I have a proposed amendment to section 4.4 </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I would like to add the position of Training officer to the committee.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The role of the training officer would be defined in section 5 with the addition of section 5.6 </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The role of the training officer is to ensure that training is
provided on all aspects of theatrical production throughout the year.
They are also responsible for ensuring that there is a
drama&nbsp;representative&nbsp;at any formal training provided to
societies.
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I would like to give my reasons for the addition of this position
from my own personal experiences on drama committee. I was treasurer
for a year and I chaired the society for a year so I feel that I have a
really good idea what drama needs to help it progress and grow.
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This year drama has put on many high profile events and it has
made a lot of affiliations with other societies and groups both within
and outside of DCU. I think this is fantastic for the growth of the
society but I feel that the general week to week activities have been
neglected and the achievements made this year are also the reasons that
it has had some failings. There is nothing currently on offer for
members to participate in on a week to week basis, no forum for people
to make new friends, nothing for new members that join outside of clubs
and socs days. </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Don't get me wrong, I understand that the committee has put in an
awful lot of hard work this year. I know that every year the committee
gets saturated with work and projects and productions and somethings
are left undone and I feel that for drama to develop and progress
another committee member is sorely needed. </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>There are some positions are currently undefined. This could be
made to the constitution next year perhaps but I feel that even if this
were to happen in order for Drama to grow even further sub committees
will have to be established and next years committee has an exciting
time ahead of them. There are always more people looking to get on
committee than there are positions. I feel that they should be on
committee if they are willing to give the time and dedication it
requires. </div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Thank you for your time, see you all next Tuesday.</div></div>
