Hey Mebd/committee There's a couple of points I'd like to make I know you've been really really busy lately and like we've all said before communication in this committee sucks. This report for flashback for example was supposed to be submitted yesterday. In fact according to Ken he approached us over 3 weeks ago. But i certainly didnt know about it until Ken approached me today in the Clubs and socs area after which I gave him links to our photos and told Riona about it asap. We are all very busy and cant be expected to pull things like this out of thin air especially when we have deadlines to be making. As for him giving the space, i don't know if you're aware but we aren't actually guaranteed it. Redbrick and every other soc-committee with a substantial membership have been mailed offering them the same space. Basically the first 2 groups with good articles win. getting half a page each. I'm assuming this is because he got pissed off waiting for us to come back to him. Secondly....quit shooting the first years down! A new member shows up with an idea of putting on his first ever production. He's studied what he wants to do and there is a large portion of the college who'll be familiar with the the play. He's talking about putting it on for DCU and leaving cert students and it will be great P.R. for us for even making the effort. We dont have to put on something worthy of the irish drama awards it just has to have an interest. He's looking at a budget of less than 500 euro and he wants to put it into an empty second semester calendar and it's a fantastic "Fresh" event for first years to have a stab at and if it totally flops (although we the committee wouldn't allow that to happen because we are there to help in any shape or form) then we can pass it off to inexperience but an educational one none the less. I haven't heard you be positive about much this year and I was shocked and appalled at the way you yourself practically laughed in his face in weldons the other night. Especially when he was one of the few newbies let alone any memebrs who bothered to show up. If you'd given him half a chance he'd a write up ready for the committee to look over but felt completely belittled. not exactly brilliant for committee/member relations. Enough said, rant over. I think we all need to vent at each other on things like this because if we don't shit will pile up and I don't want to see the last 4 weeks repeat itself. See you all Monday Elaine
