Minutes
Annie welcomed the Committee, noting that this was the only CL with lunch provided.
Matt told the Committee that he would like to make a rule that those who use the speakers leave the sundries in the JCR.
Hugo agreed that some people are useless (noting that maybe such a rule may not be effective).
Annie thanked the outgoing Committee, praising initiative drive and energy and other adjectives. She noted the importance of handovers to the outgoing Committee. She handed the chair over to Hubert.
Note that Ste should have handed over the notes here. He did not.
Hubert reiterated the positivity of last year, and expressed his positive expectations for the coming Committee.
Hubert told the Committee that bop dates would need to be set. First week Saturday was already set. The second bop has to correspond to halfway Hall. RQ told him Fri and Sat of 4th were available nights for Hall, as is Fri 5th. He asked if the Committee thought Halfway Hall and the bop should be on the same night or on consecutive weeks.
It turns out not everyone knew what Halfway Hall is. Hubert explained that it was a dinner for second years. “It's just fun.”
The Committee seemed to agree with fourth week halfway Hall.
The last bop would be set after chuck-out dates were known.
Hubert encouraged people to message apologies to Tom should they be unable to go to Committee lunch.
Matt noted that he had received an email from the Dean regarding behaviour at the Christmas dinner, and hence encouraged the Committee to watch for people generally being unhelpful. It was noted that the Dean and the Junior Deans would be present.
Cealach noted that Committee need to do bop cleanup, and that the Committee was responsible for emptying the JCR of people post-bop.
Freddy hates fun, and hence would soon be dropping the list of people on bop cleanup.
Hubert encouraged the new Committee to speak to their predecessors.
He also noted lunch with the Dean in second week in the Massey Room which would be paid for.
Ste handed over the notes
very late
Committee was asked to sign Christmas cards for the jcr staff.
