Six colleges responded, one abstained, three voted in favour and two against. Therefore there will be a lottery. This lottery will be held tomorrow and I will inform you all by e-mail how it goes. The following colleges have expressed interest in taking part in said lottery; UCD, TCD and DIT. If any other colleges would like to take part please phone me as soon as possible! Only colleges who have expressed an intrest in this slot will be included in the lottery, this is to avoid waesting time. The slot is on the Tuesday of the festival and is in the Half Moon. That is all for now, I'm quite tired so I think I'll go to bed. (God I'm going to be loads of fun in ISDA) Ok any questions or queries or general 'hey, how are you?' chatty type things give me a call or a text.# Dee -- msn: jaykavana(a)hotmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] ISDA Kerfuffle
by Joey Kavanagh 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Apologies for any confusion caused by the e-mail I forwarded last night. Basically, Aoife from UCD Dramsoc rang me yesterday and told me that, if I was in agreement with UCD and DIT that the recently vacated ISDA slot should be lotteried off, I should text Dee (ISDA Chairperson) and state this. I later learned that Aoife had no authority to be contacting ISDA reps and convincing them to do this. As you might have gathered from the forwarded e-mail, festival organisers UCC Dramat (what is with these people? What's wrong with plain old "Drama"?) are very much opposed to the lottery as they feel it would put them under a lot of pressure at this late stage. So, Aoife's in deep shit now and Dee has asked all reps to vote by e-mail as to whether or not they want a lottery. As we have nothing to gain from such a lottery and I have no desire to get involved in ISDA politics, I have decided to exercise our right to abstention. Should anybody feel strongly that we should vote, please let me know as we can still change our stance before the deadline of 11pm tonight. Hope ye're all enjoying your weekend, Joey

Hey Dee, I think I've managed to read between the lines of your e-mail. I'd just like to say that I wasn't fully aware of the situation when I text you earlier and I apologise if my actions caused any offence Out of respect for the organising committee in UCC, I would like to change our stance on the matter. If it's alright with you, we shall to *abstain *from voting. If there's a problem with this, please let me know. In the event that lottery does go ahead, we will not me submitting any entries for entry into this lottery. Also, I'm afraid we haven't yet paid our annual membership for the current year. It's €25, right? Any chance you could give me an address I can post the cheque to?

[Drama-Committee] ISDA Update
by Joey Kavanagh 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Hey guys, I've confirmed with the lads in UCC that the cost of entry for ISDA is €250 per play. Also, Mary Immaculate have pulled out and there's now an available spot. I've told them that we are not interested in being entered into the lottery for the extra spot. I hope that's alright? Joey
