[Drama-Committee] BagPack Helpers NEEDED!!!
by Stephen Grimes 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hey guys, dolls and leprechauns... The Ashbourne Bagpack is quickly closing in on us and we are seriously short bag packers, we really need you guys to help out. So if you free and can make it then please (please) put your name down and help out on of the days. We need at least TEN bag packers each day. This is the list to date... Friday 4-9 Joey Kavanagh Stephen Grimes Susan Doyle Conor Lynch Catherine Carr Liana Irishname Saturday 10:00 - 2:30 Joey Kavanagh Stephen Grimes Susan Doyle Conor Lynch Liana Irishname Saturday 2:30 - 7:00 Joey Kavanagh Stephen Grimes Susan Doyle Conor Lynch Liana Irishname Sunday 11:00 - 6:00 Joey Kavanagh Stephen Grimes Conor Lynch John Cannon Liana Irishname People, if we didn't need your help, we wouldn't ask, so please do your best to help out. We raised two grand last time at Tesco and we still need another... six... ANYWAY, what you will need is a COSTUME of some type, anything you want! Bring make-up and do face paints or whatnot. For example you could be a pirate, gangster, superhero, witch, wizard, merry man, cowboy, cowgirl, playboy bunny... don't care what you are as long as its a costume!!! Also, we can reimburse you half of your travel expenses (as long as you have a receipt) How to get to Ashbourne: Walk down Lower Abbey Street on the right hand side (as you're coming from O' Connell Street). The Ashbourne bus-stop is on the corner at the end of the street ( i.e. the first right turn after the Abbey Theatre). You can get the 103 bus there. It'll cost you €4.20 for a single journey, €5.60 if you want a day return ticket or €6.80 if you want a monthly return (i.e. you're planning to stay in Ashbourne overnight). Ashbourne is the first major town after Finglas. You can't miss it. As you're coming into Ashbourne, you want to get off the bus-stop at the first stop AFTER the bridge. As soon as you see the Ashbourne Court Hotel, it's time to get up from your seat. Once you disembark, keep walking up the main street and you'll come to Dunnes Stores on your left. Voilá! FINALLY, on Saturday night, Joey is leading us out for a night on the town, (apparently Ashbourne is pretty bitchin...) so bring some dosh and something slutty! Joey is also providing accommodation for the weekend... (god help him) Anyway, let me know... Steve P.S. Thanks -- Stephen Grimes 55456550 Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair Jedi Master 085 7079768 Bonnie: "Somebody save him, he can't swim!" Peter: "Oh, he's not even kicking. Kick Joe, kick."

[Drama-Committee] Re:Student Helpers
by Eoin O' Callaghan 21 Aug '06

Hey all, RE: Siobhan- It's a shame but unfortunately inevitable. ELO should not be a First Year, that's for sure but firstly, like 2 years ago, does anyone in their present committee capacity fancy taking on the newly vacated ELO role? Therefore we could re-jig the committee slightly to accomodate Siobhan's resignation... Also, Eoin Byrne- the new SU Deputy President, has just sent an All-Students e-mail looking for volunteers to help with First Year Orientation during Orientation Week- that's Sept 18th-22nd. I would strongly urge someone from the Drama committee to do this as one can really 'big up' the society life on campus, i.e. DRAMA. I did it last year and just from Humanities, I saw many familiar faces join up on Clubs and Socs Day who I first encountered doing class talks. It's also paid work and rip-the-piss easy. I strongly recommend it- especially for Humanities and Science students. I think Catherine Carr is doing it also. Best, [eoc]

[Drama-Committee] resignation of siobhan
by john cannon 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

well. As you have probably gathered siobhan resigned. So to save her feelings I have taken her off the commitee list as of this email. So Is the preferred options. to re-open the position at the egm to those who ran for comittee slots last year or just to anyone other than first years? .To be perfectly honest with the likes of susan burke , marko etc, probably running for the position its not going to be a loss at all. If Anything this will probably strenghten the committee. ciao -- John Cannon Science & Health Convenor DCU DRAMA Secretary 55609739 Pha1 086-2120067

Hey guys, I'm off to Edinburgh in the morning (wahoo!) but there's a few things I wanna run by you before I do. Bag pack so far: Friday: Joey Kavanagh Susan Doyle Conor Lynch Catherine Carr Shane Murphy (possibly) Saturday: Joey Kavanagh Susan Doyle Conor Lynch Catherine Carr(possibly. late in the evening) John Cannon (possibly) Sunday: Joey Kavanagh Conor Lynch John Cannon Bob (possibly) People who have said they'll try to come but haven't confirmed what days: Stephen Grimes, Brendan O' Rourke, Orla McGreal, Liana O' Cleirigh, Dallan McCormac Guys and Dolls stuff: Shane sent me on all the financial records off the society in his posession and all the documentation relating to the musicals from the past two years. I got in touch with Josef Weinberger and finally sorted out the ticket sales record statement. We're gonna have to pay £87 sterling for each performance. We've budgeted this in the debt so no major cause for concern there. I sent back the vocal score that Conor F left in Bob'n'Eoin's apartment but unfortunately we failed to locate the piano/conductor score. The only people that would have had this would be Laura or Olga but both claim to know nothing of it's whereabouts. That'll be another £20 sterling out of our deposit. Siobhan's resignation: I'm genuinely sorry to hear that Siobhan won't be rejoining us in September but, as John has already said, in terms of her role on the committee, it's not like she's irreplacable. I think both Marko and Susan Bourke are excellent candidates for the position and I'd like to see them approached in an official capacity in relation to the vacancy. I think we should e-mail the announce-drama mailing-list early in the semester (before the freshers are added to it) and advertise the position. Personally, I would be against having freshers run for the position. Just my two cents. Ok, that's me done. Hope ye're all well, Joey

[Drama-Committee] Drama bag-pack next weekend
by Joey Kavanagh 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hey guys, I'm still hoping for a few more volunteers for the bag-pack in Ashbourne next weekend if possible. If you could even afford us a few hours, we'd be eternally grateful. Just to confirm that the times for Dunnes Stores are as follows: 4-9 Friday 10:30-6:30 Saturday 11-6 Sunday How to get to Ashbourne: Walk down Lower Abbey Street on the right hand side (as you're coming from O' Connell Street). The Ashbourne bus-stop is on the corner at the end of the street (i.e. the first right turn after the Abbey Theatre). You can get the 103 bus there. It'll cost you €4.20 for a single journey, €5.60 if you want a day return ticket or €6.80 if you want a monthly return (i.e. you're planning to stay in Ashbourne overnight). Ashbourne is the first major town after Finglas. You can't miss it. As you're coming into Ashbourne, you want to get off the bus-stop at the first stop AFTER the bridge. As soon as you see the Ashbourne Court Hotel, it's time to get up from your seat. Once you disembark, keep walking up the main street and you'll come to Dunnes Stores on your left. Voilá! (Getting to my house is slightly trickier but once people get to Ashbourne, I'll provide the tour-guide services.) Hope to see ye there, Joey (0857322505) P.S. I'm outta the country from tomorrow until Thursday so if you need to get in touch with anybody in relation to this, I'd suggest our shiny new chair-person Steve (0857079768).

[Drama-Committee] Bits 'n' pieces

Hey guys, First off, can all committee members try and give me even a vague idea of their availability for the next bag-pack so I can try and figure out who'll be around what days. I already know Lyndsey and Eoin won't be around so you guys are excused. I've got Shane to post me the stuff I need for Josef Weinberger and he's just e-mailed me pretty much every drama-related document in his possession (grant aps, budgets, the constitution, etc) which should prove pretty invaluable. I might forward it on to you guys if I get on a better internet connection at some stage. I'd also suggest that maybe Liana get in touch with Joe Murray, if you haven't already, (and possible even Gary Boylan) to see if they have anything of worth lying around on their hard-drives. I thought our open-air meeting went pretty well on Sunday (in spite of the skangers trying to hi-jack Steve's laptop to 'check their bebo'). There's a few things that I meant to say at the meeting but completely forgot: 1. I'd really like to have a Masquerade Ball at some stage next year so maybe we could pencil it in at some stage (week 5 or 6 of semester one?). Kat Farrell said that Rebrick were considering doing something along those lines as well (and Charlie, Jesjes, Kat and Big Padraig are all on Redbrick committee next year) so perhaps we could team up with them. I also think that this is an event that we could possibly do in conjunction with The Union (and have a decent chance of getting a Bar-extension). Thoughts? 2. Last year ,a good few naive freshers signed up to Drama purely because our card provided free access to Spirit nightclub on Thursday. I dealt with Aoife from Spirit last year, who was very obliging but insisted that Spirit be the only nightclub logo on our cards. I've a feeling that we could potentially get big sponsorship deals from Redz or other nightclubs this year so maybe this wouldn't be such a good idea. I also remember that Redbrick had cards. seperate to their membership cards, that covered a whole load of nightclubs (I think they were Bank of Ireland cards or something) so maybe we could look into that? I'll get in touch with Jesjes about it. 3. Actual membership cards. Last year we spent a couple of hours up in a meeting room in Clubs and Socs, assembling and laminating membership cards. They were nowhere near as slick as the ones we had the year before but a hell of a lot cheaper. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on what we should do this year? Ok, that's me done. Wow, that's an e-mail of almost Bob-like proportions! Hope ye're all well and anybody sitting exams is getting on alright, Joey -- msn: jaykavana(a)hotmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] Layout to date!
by Stephen Grimes 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Guys & Dolls, Here's a vague layout of next semester. (We discussed it on Sunday) Think I included everything. Things are organized in "Comment Boxes." For example, move your mouse over September 18th and a little box should appear saying everything planned for that week. Move to next week and continue etc etc... That cool people??? Siobhan get in contact with me asap. Later people, Steve -- Stephen Grimes 55456550 Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair Jedi Master 085 7079768 Bonnie: "Somebody save him, he can't swim!"
