3. We passed up to £50 for the purchase of bike lights and D-locks to be stored at the Porters lodge for members of the JCR to buy should they need to bike during the night and left their bike lights elsewhere.

2. We passed £12 to renew our website domain.

3. The Committee passed up to £50 for refreshments and whatnot at the rescheduled Balliol TED talk events which you should all go to and it'll be great (also keep your eyes peeled for Balliol Soapbox next term???)

4. The aforementioned speaker is a third year undergrad from Hilda's who wrote a book called Notes on Being Teenage, she'll be talking on Tuesday.



1. We passed £25 to get a parting gift for Charlotte since she's been an absolute star for Pantry and the JCR.

2. We discussed how making and selling boptails could be more efficiently done - in particular regarding buying alcohol with the bar - since it's currently quite a pain setting up and cleaning pantry; we agreed to revisit this in the future when we had more specific suggestions for addressing this.



1. Abi told us that 350 Balliolites have bought tickets for the Garden Party and told us that she's going to remind you all to get tickets before they go up in price (when they're opened up to the University) next week (get tickets now)!

1. The Committee passed £50 to pay the musicians who played at Nepostists last term (since the organ wasn't available on account of it being broken).

3. James told the Committee that Saturday of 5th week isn't going to work for either Balliol or New College, so we're going to do something in Trinity instead.

1. Annie informed people that I'm posting these summaries on the website (how meta) because, let's be honest, the Committee are about as likely to read my emails as you are.

1. We passed up to £50 to be spent buying rainbow laces for the rugby team.

2. Abi told the Committee that everything was on track and that you're likely to be getting around two free drinks at the garden party (exciting).

3. The Committee will be having a lunch with the Dean Tuesday 3rd week (and hence we won't be meeting on the Wednesday that week).

4. Daisy wants everyone to write blog posts about life at Balliol aimed at prospective students or offer-holding students and you should all totally do that!
