[Drama-Committee] Friday Meeting Cancelled + Monday Meeting Reminder!
by Eoin O' Callaghan 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hi all, Once again, apologies for the short notice. Today's proposed committee meeting, scheduled for 5 o' clock, has been cancelled. Due to the short notice and general lack of information from my good self, many of our members were unable to make it and so it has been decided that it would be best to let it slide. Apologies for any confusion and/or disruption. BUT, you lot don't get away that easily! REMEMBER:*VERY IMPORTANT* Old and New Drama Committee Meeting/Training Day (reminds me of that Office episode) on Monday. 4pm. Weldons Public House, Ballymun Road. And wear something sexy... Talk to ya soon. [eoc] "I'm a friend first, boss second...probably entertainer third." (David Brent) "Yeah. I think the Irish are going through a major image change. I mean, the old image of Leprechauns, shamrock, Guinness, horses running through council estates, toothless simpletons, people with eyebrows on their cheeks, badly tarmacced drives ? in this country, men in platform shoes being arrested for bombings, lots of rocks, and Beamish. I think people are saying ?yes, there?s more to Ireland than this?. A good slogan for the tourist board ? [adopts bad Irish accent] ?Dere?s more to Oireland dan dis.?

[Drama-Committee] Friday meeting?
by Eoin O' Callaghan 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hey gang, Sorry to be giving you such short notice but thanks to some lovely Apple Macs, I wasn't able to get an e-mail out to you lot more quickly. Anyway, the reason for the mail is to enquire about your availability regarding a proposed meeting tomorrow with Breifne who wants to put forward his ideas for the musical next year. There will also be a Committee vote on whether or not we want Breifne to be the producer of the musical next year. The time for this meeting is still to be decided but should probably be around 3/4-ish. An e-mail will be sent tomorrow clarifying the time and venue. But for the moment, just get back to me if you're available. Talk soon. [eoc] "I'm a friend first, boss second...probably entertainer third." (David Brent) "Yeah.

[Drama-Committee] VERY IMPORTANT MEETING!!
by Eoin O' Callaghan 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Hi folks, Since I've got all your attention with that fancy subject bar, here's the deal: Our critical meeting scheduled for this coming Sunday at 4:00pm has been changed to the following day, the Bank Holiday Monday, instead. This is due to the fact that a couple(okay-nearly all!) our members were unable to make it on the Sabbath Day... Elaine and Bob have assured me that it's REALLY important that we all attend as it will be the meeting where we'll sit down and put down our actual timetable for next year and cement our plans for shows, etc. So please make an appearance...! 4:00, Monday, some meeting room in the HUB!!

[Drama-Committee] Breifne
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Hi gang, I'd like to invite Breifne to talk to the committee about his proposed plans for producing the musical next year. Then we can vote as to whether we want him or not. I suggest 6 o clock the day of our meeting (Monday next) - the handover stuff will probably take 2 hours anyway. If you guys are OK with this, I'll contact Breifne and see if he's available.

[Drama-Committee] Focus Group.... Interesting
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Ahoy gang, My mate Gordon, aka Mr. Incredible, has asked me to try to round up about 5 people to form a focus group for about an hour on wednesday next (not tomorrow). He's looking for a mixed group of people (different courses/years/hometowns/etc) to sit around and discuss a range of topics about DCU - accommodation, lectures, the works. I figured Drama would be perfect for that sort of thing, as none of us are afraid to talk, or voice our opinions on just about anything.... Interested? Get back to me. Oh, and there will be free refreshments too! Bob -- Roibeard O Mhurcu # 54144094 CS1 Class Rep.
