*takes a deep breath*
Right-ho, here's the deal:
Until 1st of June, DCU Drama Committee has 17 members. Apparently I am
still chair, while Steve is chair-elect and so on. We are all one big
team, there is no old committee-Vs-new committee crap.
Thereafter, the newly-elected committee take over, and I wish you guys
all the very best of luck. I think we have a potentially very strong
committee for next year, with the added bonus that all of the current
committee will be around next year to offer advice, help, comfort and
succour. And tea.
We have to use this time to our advantage, with a nice lengthy handover
period, where the new and old cttes can discuss what worked for Drama
this year, what didn't, what ideas we'd like to see put in motion for
next year and whatnot.
I realise that you may have gotten a lot of that done at the meeting
last night, and sorry once more that I wasn't there. I think we should
have another uber-committee meeting after EVERYONE is finished their
exams. And possibly a meal and a drinking session.
On the plus side, I've asked John Doyle to rep us on the SPC and I think he's up for it.
On the DVD front, it's encouraging that ordinary members want to take
the initiative to set up selling the DVDs, I can only guess that Laura
is heavily involved because she was a producer for the musical, and
therefore feels a tad responsible for DCU Drama's rather large debt.
That she's getting off her arse to do something about it is to be
applauded. Given that she tackled this in her own inimitable Lennox
manner is (I think) what people are getting annoyed over.
Yes, there were a few crossed lines of communication - it's absolutley
nothing to get anyone's knickers in a twist over. As I explained, the
announce-drama mail issued instructions to email Cormac - all we have
to do is liaise with Cormac, Laura, Liana & Joey to sell the DVDs
outta V276, give Cormac what he is owed and lash the rest into the DCU
Drama bank account.
Mail your suggestions for content for the last announce-drama email of
the year to dcudrama@gmail.com with FINAL ANNOUNCE DRAMA EMAIL in the
title box. That way the committee list doesn't get blasted with another
40 emails in 20 minutes :)
We've had a fantastic year, with a great committee, so let's have another fantastic year next year with another great committee!
Yayness etc!
Bob
Think of the children!! Won't Someone PLEASE Think of the Children!!Ok, apologies for the below - i believe i got a nasty bite from a bob recently and was infected with an uber-email syndrome!! :)
- to start, as far as current committee goes, i personally would see all time between the election of the new committee until at least the last day of the summer exams as being the changeover period - i would think that current committee should continue their roles until at least that time - ie, that they continue until the end of their academic year - and liase on all projects with their new counterparts. By the looks af last night's meeting, next years committee have already started with their new roles. I think the 05/06 committee should liaise with next years committee t o give them some idea what they should be doing and how to go about it, and once the summer exams (and anything else planned for an d during that academic year) are up, the old committee will be available for handover meetings and such but only at the request of the new committee(ie - new committee is now in power). Again, These are just MY opinions, based on what i think seem right and based on what's happened in previous years. Since nothing is set in stone for drama in our constitution may i suggest that we add that to our to-do pile??
essentially, steve, i don't know if new committee should send out emails just yet because this is the 05/06 membership, and with the exception of a few weeks before the start of the next year, I think they should deal with the 05/06 committee.
(again, just opinions - i'm not laying ground rules or anything like that, just trying to throw some shape on all the madness?!! :) )
- DVD's:
I do think it's great that laura and cormac took the initiative get these dvd's started, and i don't think we should start blaming anyone because a few wires got crossed.
I've talked to cormac and he seems highly confused as to what's happening -
if/when we resolve this, can we let him know what to do?? Personally, i don't see a problem with giving a few to joey's apartment where he and liana could sell from, and just ask cormac to supply them or sell some if he's approached?? Again, this, I feel is between Joey and Liana and whether they would prefer to keep track of all dvd's themselves. If yee want a poster made, i'd be happy to do it/ let liana take care of it or even meet up with liana and do it together (go teamwork!! :) )Finally, to reiterate, i am not dumping on next years committee at all - on the contrary - i've been very impressed with how seriously everyone has taken their new positions, i just think could do with putting something down in print as to how this "transition period" should work.
P.S. - Dave, it turns me on when you get all assertive like this!! ;)

they made it, produced and edited it, offered us the option and are now
selling it for us. Kinda childish for us to get up in arms about it. We
should encourage our members to do stuff like that more often, and we
should OFFER them a hand in selling them.
Honestly, get wound up over more important issues people.
Over and out.
