This is what i propose sending to the SU. I still can't think of a good way to
close this. Anyone got anything they'd add/change? Or anyone object to me
sending this?

Sarah,

As the Technical and Equipments officer of the DCU Drama Committee, I would
like to make a complaint to the SU on behalf of the society.

During the SU Freshers Ball, the Portable Lighting system ( which are property
of DCU Drama, and not the SPC/SU ) were removed from the storage room without
any permission, or even notification to the committee. When the lights were
returned, they were left OUTSIDE of the equipment room, and only for the fact
that I happened to be passing by, they would have spent the weekend sitting
in the pool are, which is very insecure. When I plugged them in to make sure
they were still working, I found that 3 bulbs had been broken. We will be
forwarding an invoice for replacements shortly.

Later that night, as the SU cloakroom was filling up, Shea McNelis asked me if
he could borrow some coat hangers from the Drama Society. After looking in the
room, I found that the only hangers we had were being used to store clothes.
Shea told me that if we let him borrow them, he would have someone put the
clothes back on the hangers the next day. In the interest of forging a good
relation between Drama and the SU, I agreed. More than a week and a half later,
this still hasn't happened yet. Dramas costumes are still in a pile on the
floor, and I have recieved a number of complaints from both the SPC and other
societies about the state of the room. We cannot clean up until we get the
clothes back on the rail.

I have also recieved a complaint from Mark Boyle about the sound system in the
venue. Text attached:

=====
   was in the venue last night and whoever did the sound for the SU gig
   last week moved the FX rack from the balcony to behind the stage and
   left it there. (If memory serves, it usually takes 2-3 people to move
   the rack even a few meters because it's so damm heavy, so moving it
   back is going to be fun.) They also removed several parts from it and
   left them lying on the floor and on the table on the balcony. Several
   lights (Destroyers I think) were taken from somewhere and left lying
   on the floor. I can't recall where the sound desk is gone to but I
   dont think it's on the table.

   Basically all the work we paid Derek to do over the summer was undone
   and the place is more of a mess than any society has ever left it. At
   the moment it would be difficult if not impossible for anyone to hold
   an event there.

I know that Shea has only been on the staff a short while, but I still think
that this is no excuse.
