[Drama-Committee] Next AGM
by Joseph Murray 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hey Guys, Not tryin to get ahead of myself but I'm just lookin at possible times for the AGM next week. Monday is of course Easter Monday, so that's out. Wednesday is the summer ball - don't know if we can work anything in beforehand, or something?? Tuesday is the music soc Choral Showcase, with some random choirs, Gardiner Street and the cast of Guys and Dolls - I'm really against Tuesday cause it will mean that any of the musical cast involved, as well as at least a couple of other guys that i know were planning on running for positions, probably won't make it (and personally, i won't be at all available from 5 onwards!!) Anyways, ultimately, this is of course a committee decision, and i'll do my best to accommodate whatever the committee decides. On another note, i probably don't even have to say, but as much as i want everyone to voice their opinions, we'll have to keep it more ordered in future - i think perhaps we need to keep a time limit of about 5-10 mins for someone on the floor - there's only so much that can be said on any subject before we're just repeating ourselves. If we let everyone talk for any more, we'll be there all night. Anyways, That's Me, Laters, Joe!! :)

Right folks, first off i want to apologise for my absence last night, and my general dropping the ball as of late, but college has to come first, sorry. Anyho, i've attached an income statement for the period 26/9 -31/3 (re the bics). It almost totally accurate , except for the note at the bottom which state that SPC funding is €4000. This doesn't tkae into account the fact that Alan Kinsella is getting€3500 of it, thus leaving us with a hole of €1797.09, and well that wouldn't look to good, would it. Overall, drama has had a fantastic year. In financial terms, we had great success with most of our events. The only events that made a considerable loss were the panto and the musical. The general inexperience of the crew of the panto (re actual costs) contributed to it being a financial failure, however, as im sure most of you are aware, the single biggest factor that affected the panto and musical, was the lack of promotion. I aint one to preach, but its a real shame to see the hard work of the cast and crew go to waste, just because the show hasn't been promoted properly. I mean, there aint anything as demoralising as performing to an empty house. Regarding next year, i would love to see some rigid plan put in place, so that there is, well a set routine to promoting shows, and also, a proper plan for it's promotion, re times deadlines to check various costs, when the designs have to be sent to the printers, when posters must be up etc.... On a side note, i'd just like to reflect on my time being on committee with all of you. It has been great and i've had a ball, even if i was perpetually plagued for money. I will miss not having the pleasure of being on committee next year and helping drama retain its spot as the best society in DCU. One of the great strengths of this year's committee is that it consists of so many different people with different opinions. The one fear ( actually, that's a lie, i have many fears) that i have for next year's committee is that it will be, well too pally-pally, and people may not do their jobs properly for fear of offending their mates. On a second side note, i have found that, from my experience, the induction of people into the committe is quiet poor. Obviously, this is my opinion, but at times it has been very difficult, and, well nobody sits you down and actually shows you what exactly has to be done, and how it must be done. There is no handbook on "How to be a treasurer", like, who do i go to for such and such, and why, and i found this more so last year, but also this year to be frustrating. Whilst Elaine is great in many ways, she is well, a little too totalitarian, and doesn't explain things but rather tells you if or when they arise. With this in mind, i have started putting together a guide to being treasurer, with nice slow step by step instructions on how to deal with all possible events should they arise. When i have it fininshed (hopefully by the end of next week), i'd like you guys to have a look, and give a little feedback. The idea is that this "guide" could then be posted on the website an well accessible to all potential treasurers so they could see exactly what they are geeting themselves into. I think that this idea could also be extended into other areas such as pro, elo and sponsorship. Right, that's me done, -- Shane Murphy Treasurer, DCU Drama Mailto: shane.murphy53(a)mail.dcu.ie shane.murphy53(a)gmail.com treasurer(a)dcudrama.ie Ph: 087 7822628

[Drama-Committee] St Michaels House
by Michelle Ni Fhaircheallaigh 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Ok Folks, Here's the deal. St Michaels House was penciled in for week 12. I went to them a week ago and the said they wouldn't be able to do it in such a short space of time. They suggested June with rehersals starting this week but no rehersals in the month of May cuz of exams. The problems i know see with this are: 1) Being able to get students to help out during June. Not everyone lives in Dublin 2) Elaine is not available for rehersals throughout the month of June 3) As of the day Res kick us out I'll be living in Navan again and working there aswell. It might be difficult to get time off 4) The Venue might not be open then. Not sure bout this one so i'd have to look into it. Personally i think it should be postponed until semester 1 next year. I won't be on committee then and because of that i'll be able to give a lot more time to this project which is a necessity. What do you's think? I'll need to know whether or not you's think it should go ahead and if so will you's be able to help out too? Mail me or txt me back asap cuz the first rehersal is supposed to be wednesday so i want to give them enough notice if we have to cancel.
