Hey guys, John wants to have meal for the production team of FAME, just as a thank you for all the hard work. There'll be about 8-10 people going and he's wondering if drama can contribute some money to it. I think it's fair enough to throw it €250 seeing as how the musical made such a huge profit but I wanted to clear it with you guys. Let me know what you think, Jen > > > _______________________________________________ > Drama-Committee mailing list > Drama-Committee(a)lists.redbrick.dcu.ie > http://lists.redbrick.dcu.ie/mailman/listinfo/drama-committee > > -- Jennifer Tweed FM2 Rep DCU Art Chair 2007/2008 DCU Drama Treasurer 2007/2008

[Drama-Committee] BICS - please read
by Susan Bourke 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Hey guys, We need to meet up and discuss how we'll go about completing the BICS nomination form and gathering our supplementary material. The form needs to be filled out online by 1pm on Wednesday, and the supplementary material needs to be in by 9:30am on Thursday, which effectively means Wednesday as well, because I don't think any of us will be there that early on Thursday. So when does it suit people to meet up? The sooner the better really, so if people are around this evening or tomorrow, that would be great. Please hit reply to all so everyone can see people's suggestions! Susan :-)
