Hoodies: -CIAN will order the hoodies over Christmas and if there is a demand for them after the Broadway trip we can order more. Musical Performance: -This performance can be grant app-ed for. We will get 50e for every workshop, than means if we have 3 work shops we?ll get 150e and that will cover their travel expenses and then anything we make will be ours. -The venue needs to be booked for the first week of the second semester, as will a venue for the workshops (interfaith or XG14) GER will get onto music soc about a pianist, CONOR will put it in the grant app and CIAN can start promoting it.

[Drama-Committee] Auditions
by Sinead McDonald 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Ok. Apparently we're only aloud book 3hour sessions at a time when it comes to rooms. This may be one of the repercussions of the panto incident because I've never come accross it before but anyway, arrangements are as follows: We have CG01 and 03 from 2pm to 5pm on Wednesday and from 6pm to 9pm on Thursday. I know its a pain etc etc..but at the end of the day its the Henry Grattan and hopefully there will be no one to kick us out. Anyway, sorry for not being there tonight but I just couldn't. All order will be restored as of next week. And can someone update me on what happened at the meeting? Cheers, Sinéad McDonald 57416181 CS2 Class Rep Drama Committee Secretary 08/09

[Drama-Committee] It doesn,t rain, but it pours
by Gerard Collis 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hi all I really wish I could be emailing you with happy news but I can't. There has been a mix up with the Helix, basically the dates I had originally been green lighted for (13th- 16th April) are now no longer available, which puts us in an uncomfortable position. We have 2 options 1. take 5 days at a rate of €3750 which is a cheaper rate then we were quoted previously ( a sign of good will) the snag is the dates, the 22nd to the 26th of March, which in student terms is Week 7,reading week. 2.or take a 3 day run (30th March to the 1st April) but that would involve getting in and shows and really isnt feasible so really we have one option, putting our biggest performance of the year on, on the quietest week in the DCU calender..... anyone else feel like crying i know I do I have asked about week 11 and even week 12 and there so no availability. Let me know if anyone has any ideas or suggestions
