[Drama-Committee] Broadway!
by Alan Keegan 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

okay guys i wont be there at the meeting on wednesday as i have a gig . the raffle of a broadwayplace was my idea. i think this is a good idea for a number of reasons. first if we offer a broadway place on clubs and socs day we can boost our membership big time. if ya dont know, the the more people we get into our society the more money we get from the spc... the more money we get ,the more we get to do. lets say we sell raffle tix for €5,even ten euro if we need to..... if we get 100 interested people we are covered and i think we will because if you wer to see "win a tip to new york for a fiver" you would ptu your name in cuz fuck it youd have the fiver. but if we were to lose money on raffle tix we could raise the price of teh other places.to cover it.which wont be that much divded between 39 people. -- Alan Keegan DCU Music/DCU Drama Societies 0857120647

[Drama-Committee] An Explaination
by Susan 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Hi Guys, I'm going to try and make this as short and sweet as possible. Over the past few weeks, I've been seriously thinking about my position academically as well as my own general happiness. I had a great year with drama last year and despite the stress I am exceedingly proud of our achievements as a committee and my own personal achievements as well. However, I don't think a committee position this year makes sense for me. Recieving my second semester results today really put the nail in the coffin for me. They weren't up to my own high standard and due to the fact that I'm going into my final year of my degree - I have realised that I need to focus more on my course. I have one more chance to do as well as I can and being on the committee requires a committment that I just won't be able to give. In addition to this, during the musical, and most of last year in general, I wasn't really myself. I could never really put my finger on what it was - and I still don't know. But I think that resigning from the Drama committee may be a really good thing for me. Guys, I love you all so much and know you're gonna do an amazing job! I realise I have put you in a position to elect someone new for next year and since that can't be done before the EGM in October, I can make any posters you guys need until someone new is elected. Just let me know if you need me. Thanks for everything, hope you all understand. Susan xx -- Susan Doyle Sponsorship Officer DCU Drama Musical Producer

[Drama-Committee] Re: Accounts and stuff
by Joey Kavanagh 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hey everybody, Just to let y'all know that the accounts have been sent in. I forwarded you all on a copy. Since the last statement, we've received about €290 more in sponsorship. Liana is still following up Daiwa (€800) and Ulster Bank (€200 I think). Steve, if you get a chance, will you lodge the €35 from the last Hoodie? Jenny, I'm gonna bring all the statements and stuff into my new house in town next week. Feel free to drop in at any stage and we can have a chat about all things finance related (I apologise in advance. It may be slightly epic.) Fiona (if you're on this list...) I haven't had a chance to look through your e-mail yet. I'll get back to you ASAP. Finally, everybody check out this link. It's Ciaran Gray of 'Shake Ya Tailfeather' fame: http://www.rte.ie/arts/2007/0530/oconnorpj.html Maybe Susan Bourke could text him to pass on our congratulations? This might well be my last committee e-mail so I'd just like to say much love to committee 06/07 and a big slurpy good luck to committee 07/08. Joey -- msn: joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com ph: 085 7322 505

[Drama-Committee] Drama Accounts
by DCU Drama Treasurer 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi Siobhan, Please find attached the most recent accounts of DCU Drama Society for the academic year 06/07. It is my belief that these accounts provide a true and fair representation of the society's current financial standing. I have left supplementary documentation relating to the accounts on your desk. If it would be possible to pick up the most recent chequebook at some stage to pass on to the incoming Treasurer, Jennifer Tweed, I'd be extremely grateful. Please feel free to contact me at 0857322505 or at this e-mail if there are any problems. Kind regards, Joseph Kavanagh DCU Drama Treasurer 06/07

[Drama-Committee] Accounts
by Joey Kavanagh 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi everybody, Well, I've finally managed to get my head around the accounts. I've attached the most recent copy (although i will be updating it when i get a look at this week's statement). Basically, at last count, we had about €7150 in the bank, with about €6250 of cheques left to be cashed. When you combine this with approx €500 in lodgements yet to come through (hoodies, sponsorship, bag-pack, six semesters funding from SPC) and cheques of approximately €1500 for musical performance rights and €500 for the musical set, we're looking at a negative balance of approx €500. However, taking into account that we're still owed €1300 in musical sponsorship, we'll hopefully end up with a balance in and around +€800 to begin the new year. Pretty much every event this year made a profit (ranging from about €7 from King Lear to about €700 from Vagina Monologues). The musical was the only event to run a substantial loss. Totting up the figures, it looks like the total loss was in the region of €5000. I'm a little surprised by this myself but I don't think it should take away from the that The Full Monty was a fantastic success. The main problems encountered were the extra Helix tech costs and lower ticket & programme revenue than projected. Anyway, the main thing is that there is no urgent need for bag-packs this Summer - wippee! If you spot any mistakes in the accounts, please let me know ASAP. Hope ye're all well, Joey -- msn: joeykavanagh(a)gmail.com ph: 085 7322 505
