[151] And it's about the free electrical checks for electrical gear.
[152] And it says [reading] the remaining dates for the free inspection and testing of equipment have been cancelled.
[153] With all due respect to those who intended to avail themselves of the free offer, the first two appointments were not met with sufficient organization to permit cost-effective equipment testing.
[154] My staff were faced with untidy heaps of apparatus [mimicking American accent] apparatus [] in equipment rooms, and received little or no help from the student representatives [] ... So and then it sort of flabbers on a bit saying they're
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [155] not happy.

Pete (PS3SW) [186] Right.
[187] Er number three I had a phone call, oh I forgot the term planner.
[188] Never mind.
John (PS3SY) [189] I have seen it though, it should be good.
Pete (PS3SW) [190] I had a phone call last ... er yeah Tu Monday night from Warwick University who were organizing a conference at the Youth Hostel Association in York.
[191] Friday, Saturday and Sunday, week nine.
[192] They're like, obviously that's like the first weekend of the holidays, and they wanted to book the P A and some stage blocks.
[193] And I suggested charging them like sixty pounds for the three nights.
[194] Because with it being
John (PS3SY) [195] What, per night?
Pete (PS3SW) [196] Well, he was on a, aye he was going on oh how I hate [...]
Thomas (PS3ST) [197] [...] what a band.
Pete (PS3SW) [198] Never mind about the Hank Wangford Band.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [199] Er but I said I couldn't give him a definite quote for a price, because I wouldn't have the Committee.
[200] Now ... normally like three nights would be a sort of
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [201] Off campus.
Pete (PS3SW) [202] Off campus.
[203] We'll be getting two hundred
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [204] Two hundred quid.
Pete (PS3SW) [205] pound.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [206] Plus
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
John (PS3SY) [207] Is this the full P A though or is it just the speaking P A?
Pete (PS3SW) [208] He wants the speaking P A and stage blocks.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [209] Oh that's it.
Pete (PS3SW) [210] So I think about a hundred and fifty pounds
John (PS3SY) [211] Right.
Pete (PS3SW) [212] for the er Can like th the late arrivals make sure you put your names on
Thomas (PS3ST) [213] Yeah, I've got my name down.
[214] Sorry, I only just woke up.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [215] Both.
[216] Both.
Pete (PS3SW) [217] Did you sign both?
Thomas (PS3ST) [218] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [219] Okay.
[220] [...] woman might want to slap her name down.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [221] So ... with it being another student union and it being like a conference in aid of the homeless and that, I didn't really want to sort of give them a load of grief so I suggested about sixty pounds.
[222] Er does anyone have any comments on this, with it being money for Ents in general?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [223] Well, it's money we wouldn't get otherwise isn't it?
Pete (PS3SW) [224] It's money you wouldn't get cos it's in the sort of holidays.
John (PS3SY) [225] Erm are they going to pick it up and set it up
Andy (PS3SU) [226] Does it involve us doing anything?
Pete (PS3SW) [227] No, no [...] .
[228] Er well Tony's going to deliver it and pick it up on the Monday.
Dave (PS3SV) [229] Oh that's all right.
Pete (PS3SW) [230] And I said he'd have to pay extra for the minibus hire.
[231] T to shift the gear, cos he wants a couple [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [cough]
Thomas (PS3ST) [232] And obviously, they'll have to still give the deposit.
Pete (PS3SW) [233] Yes.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [234] Yeah.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [235] But
Pete (PS3SW) [236] [...] he's still not sure.
[237] When he, but then he said, like he said is there anywhere else where he could get a stage from and I explained to him that people come and hire the stage off us like Saint Michael-le-Belfry church, who are paying in cash.
[238] So I don't know I just think it's an extra little booking that we shouldn't really turn down cos it's money we wouldn't normally get.
Andy (PS3SU) [239] Warwick University's really nice.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [240] I've been there.
[241] It's great.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [242] But it's not in Warwick though is it?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [243] It's south of it.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [244] The the booking isn't in Warwick is it?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [245] No.

[249] I was sort of hoping any other people who were interested in standing for re-election might have came along to this Committee to show their
John (PS3SY) [250] Support.
Pete (PS3SW) [251] support, and interest in entertainments, but obviously they've not turned up.

Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [255] Mm.
Pete (PS3SW) [256] Er so it's at the remit of this Committee to decide who can go to the conference.
[257] Er Exec was saying it was probably me and somebody else or would the Committee like to wait and see who's elected tomorrow, and then decide next week?
[258] ... Like cos they said it's up to the Committee as a whole. ...
Andy (PS3SU) [259] Is that not at the same time as Glastonbury and all that?

Pete (PS3SW) [339] Yeah you're bound t you're bound to get on the telly then, man.
Dave (PS3SV) [340] It'll help your quest for stardom.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [341] Yeah.
Andy (PS3SU) [342] [...] a bit odd though, it's a bit pointless, as
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [343] Look
Andy (PS3SU) [344] I'm not going to be here next year.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [345] Barry White might be there.
Pete (PS3SW) [346] Never mind about Barry White.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [347] Right, number, we'll come back to that next week, number five the post van.
[348] On my way back from Ents Committee last week, erm the internal mail bloke was delivering some gear to computer services, and he left the back of the post van open.
[349] And there was a stage board in the back ... and when I said [...] , what's that doing in there?
[350] He said oh we use them as ramps.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [351] [...] heavy gear.
[352] And I'm a bit distressed at this, cos they're not designed for
Becky (PS3T0) [353] That's ten quid a time isn't it?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
John (PS3SY) [354] Aye I think we
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [355] Ten quid a day.
John (PS3SY) [356] I think we ought to er
Pete (PS3SW) [357] And
John (PS3SY) [358] write to them [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [359] there was a lot of trouble early on this term when people couldn't find stage boards, and like they were all missing and it turns out that they're like the
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [360] The university [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [361] have claimed one.
John (PS3SY) [362] At least one.
Pete (PS3SW) [363] At least one.
Andy (PS3SU) [364] Well, probably one for each van.
Pete (PS3SW) [365] But like probably one for each van yeah.
[366] So, there are, does this Committee think that I should like write them a letter saying
John (PS3SY) [367] Definitely.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [368] either we want like a lot of money,
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [369] No, I think we want
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [370] Yeah.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [371] a lot of money.
Becky (PS3T0) [laugh]
John (PS3SY) [372] Tell them that we want we wanna be paid for them, and erm all we want
Pete (PS3SW) [373] Yeah, every day is ten pounds a day sort of thing.
John (PS3SY) [374] Yeah and, and
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [375] Back pay.
John (PS3SY) [376] and we either want them back or we want, or we want money to buy some new ones in addition.
Pete (PS3SW) [377] Yeah, because the ones that we've [...] did cost like I think it was
Thomas (PS3ST) [378] Eight hundred
Pete (PS3SW) [379] ei
Thomas (PS3ST) [380] pounds.
Pete (PS3SW) [381] e eight hundred pounds for twelve, so that's seventy pounds each.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [382] Sheesh
Becky (PS3T0) [383] That's loads.
Thomas (PS3ST) [384] They were a lot of money.
Pete (PS3SW) [385] So
Becky (PS3T0) [386] They look really crap as well.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [387] Yes [...] .
Pete (PS3SW) [388] You can either stand on them, or look very stupid on the stage.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [389] So, right, well I shall write to them, and tell them that it's very naughty.
[390] Cos I
John (PS3SY) [391] I am not ha not amused.
Pete (PS3SW) [392] Okay.
Thomas (PS3ST) [393] They should send a representative
Becky (PS3T0) [...]
Thomas (PS3ST) [394] to Committee for grilling.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [395] Aye.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Dave (PS3SV) [396] Head, head of postmen?
Pete (PS3SW) [397] Head of internal mail ... [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [cough]
Pete (PS3SW) [398] come.
[399] Right, any other business.
[400] Has anybody got any
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [401] Well
Pete (PS3SW) [402] other business?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [403] bookings.
[404] We got bookings.
Pete (PS3SW) [405] Well I haven't done bookings.
[406] But I'll, I'll put that into [...] .
[407] Right Ah, Julia's got something that's quite important, that's annoying her, about Derwent dining hall.
Pete (PS3SW) [408] Which, which oh, that bit.
[409] Erm
Dave (PS3SV) [410] Derwent?
Pete (PS3SW) [411] Give us, give us the tale Julia.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [412] Okay, the, the tale is that in January I booked Derwent dining hall for a barn dance next week and got a phone call yesterday but I wasn't there and she rang back this morning, [...] said [mimicking] oh I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry, but you can't have it, I'm very sorry [] .
[413] On and on.
[414] So I said you know we've got P and P out, we've started selling tickets.
[415] Erm we haven't bothered to book a stage because Derwent has one, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
[416] And then later on, oh and then she was going to see room bookings and try to find me another dining hall cos I said it's pretty late notice, and she said [mimicking] oh no, it's a week [] and I thought well I had booked it two months ago.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [417] [...] well, it's a week for both of you.
[418] Not just a week for you.
Pete (PS3SW) [419] Well that's it.
[420] What she'd had was a double-booking, effectively, cos she'd had this dinner which was meant to be in the private dining hall, but the numbers had suddenly shot up, and because they'd said originally they wanted either the private dining hall or the main dining hall depending on numbers, she should have really booked them both and decided later and told me to like try somewhere else, but she didn't, she told me yeah the dining hall's free.
[421] Off you go sort of thing.
[422] Erm ... but then she rang back later, I don't know whether she contacted room bookings to try and get me a dining hall, but she said they might be able to have their dinner in the S C R. So that's alright, I'm okay.
[423] If not has any one booked the [laughing] [...] [] for next Wednesday night?
[424] I don't want to book them now, but I'd just like to know. ...
John (PS3SY) [425] I don't think so, no.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [426] Right, I'll leave it for now.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [cough]
Dave (PS3SV) [427] Can I just say, this has shades of the Kingmaker fiasco?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [428] Yeah, yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [429] Yes, it's like just walk all over the students again.
Dave (PS3SV) [430] Erm
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [431] For, for like
Pete (PS3SW) [432] It's her mistake, it's not the fault of the other people not booking, cos they had said they might want the main dining hall.
Dave (PS3SV) [433] No but they're still giving, yeah but the priority
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [434] But it's [...]
Dave (PS3SV) [435] and, yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [436] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [437] For tho for those that, for those that missed that er, last year Alcuin J C R booked Kingmaker as part of their massive big mega-media global world tour.
[438] And then a fortnight before the end of the, the summer holidays they were told they couldn't have the dining hall because the day after the Freemasons were having their
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh] [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [...]
John (PS3SY) [439] That was the day after.
Pete (PS3SW) [440] And it wasn't even the same day, but the day after, and as a result, er a man called John , [...]
Thomas (PS3ST) [441] Who we don't like.
Pete (PS3SW) [442] Who we don't like.
[443] Er
Thomas (PS3ST) [444] And who's descended from the .
Pete (PS3SW) [445] Is he?
Becky (PS3T0) [446] Gosh.
Pete (PS3SW) [447] ?
Thomas (PS3ST) [448] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [449] Oh there you are.
[450] Yeah, anyway, he comes
Pete (PS3SW) [451] That's amazing.
Pete (PS3SW) [452] from Gladstone and Gannon, and er he gave an awful lot of people at the S U and at Alcuin J C R a lot of grief over the provost, who then wrote them a letter saying I, Jim am the fault of all this and just generally made the students look even dafter for [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [453] As though they just couldn't organize [...] .
Pete (PS3SW) [454] They just couldn't organize anything and as a result that's why we'll probably never get Kingmaker or the Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
John (PS3SY) [455] Or anybody else from Gladstone and Gannon.
Pete (PS3SW) [456] Anyone else from Gladstone and Gannon.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [457] So
(PS3SX) [458] We don't need them.
Pete (PS3SW) [459] There's not a lot we can actually do.
[460] Apart from, did you get your room booking form back?
Pete (PS3SW) [461] Yeah, I've had it confirmed by room bookings.
[462] Oh, I'll have to see wh she's going to ring me this afternoon and say whether they can do it in the S C R. I'm gonna try and persuade her that they can, because there are only forty people at this dinner and they'll look stupid in the middle of the dining hall.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [463] Mm.
Pete (PS3SW) [464] We could dance round them, there'd be enough space, you know.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [465] Well offer the, offer the forty people reduced tickets for the barn dance.
Pete (PS3SW) [466] But it's the way she's saying oh I'm so sorry but I have to go back on it when she's agreed to something.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [467] [...] write [...] a letter or not?
John (PS3SY) [468] Well I think it's been done that's the problem.
Pete (PS3SW) [469] Yeah, well
Pete (PS3SW) [470] Well, I'll write a letter obviously if she doesn't
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [471] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [472] sort it out.
[473] If she sorts it out today then
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [474] If, if, if, if it turns out that, yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [475] The point is that as far as room bookings are concerned ...
Pete (PS3SW) [476] Yeah, she may not have sent it through to
Pete (PS3SW) [477] You're, you're in the clear.
Pete (PS3SW) [478] room bookings, the first one.
[479] She probably just booked them
Pete (PS3SW) [480] Yeah, this is, this is the problem.
Pete (PS3SW) [481] the private dining hall assuming their numbers would be quite low.
[482] So it may not be a problem with room bookings it's probably a problem with Jo .
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [483] Mhm.
[484] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [485] Had problems with [laughing] her before [] .
John (PS3SY) [486] It's just the principle of the thing that a booking's a booking, whoever
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [487] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [488] Yeah.
Dave (PS3SV) [489] whoever might have done it.
John (PS3SY) [490] If you've booked it, then you
Pete (PS3SW) [...]
John (PS3SY) [491] should get it,
Pete (PS3SW) [...]
John (PS3SY) [492] I mean just because it's next [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [cough]
John (PS3SY) [493] doesn't mean it should get priority.
Pete (PS3SW) [494] Yeah, well she was going on about bringing lots of money into the college but she might have to pay two hundred and twenty quid for a barn dance band if she's not careful.
Andy (PS3SU) [495] Yeah, well I think that she, yeah, they would be liable for that.
Pete (PS3SW) [496] Didn't I mean the same, same sort of thing happened when Wentworth put on the twenty fifth of May, that a week before Sheila said er oh you're not having this.
[497] And that's it and the contracts had been signed and everything and it was ...
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [498] Ha.
Pete (PS3SW) [499] most painful and dangerous.
[500] And I know it's worthless.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [501] Yeah.
[502] Ow.
Pete (PS3SW) [503] Right so
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [504] You stood on my toe then.
Pete (PS3SW) [505] you have our full support, I'm sure.
[506] Right, anybody got any bookings?
(PS3SX) [507] Oh I've got some any other business.
[508] Erm
Pete (PS3SW) [509] Oh alright [...]
(PS3SX) [510] Could we have it minuted that erm Derwent get a couple of P A hires free from [...] .
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [511] Okay, yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [512] Ah well we'll discuss this.
Thomas (PS3ST) [513] This will come up in any other business.
Pete (PS3SW) [514] We'll discuss this.
[515] Right.
[516] I believe on Saturday, you hired the S U P A?
(PS3SX) [517] We did.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [518] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [519] And it was late?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [520] Very late. ...
Pete (PS3SW) [521] How late?
Andy (PS3SU) [522] It was er, it was er
(PS3SX) [523] Two hours late.
Pete (PS3SW) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [524] No it wasn't two hours late
(PS3SX) [525] [...] It was.
John (PS3SY) [526] It was an hou
(PS3SX) [527] Cos
John (PS3SY) [528] it was an hour late, which it was late enough [...] for us to not to know if it was coming, so we had to go and get another P A, otherwise we'd have gone to get, there was no other option.
[529] We waited
Pete (PS3SW) [...]
(PS3SX) [530] Because the band were supposed to be soundchecking at six.
Pete (PS3SW) [531] What, what time did the band
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [532] arrive?
John (PS3SY) [533] They pick the comedians arrived at six o'clock.
Pete (PS3SW) [534] Right.
[535] What, if the comedians had have been an hour late, would you have booked
Andy (PS3SU) [536] Another comedian?
Pete (PS3SW) [537] Some another comedian?
(PS3SX) [538] That's ridiculous really, isn't it?
Andy (PS3SU) [539] Answer the question.
Pete (PS3SW) [540] No it's not.
[541] It's a serious question.
[542] If the comedians had been an hour late, would you have booked another comedian?
(PS3SX) [543] The point is, that the S
Pete (PS3SW) [544] No, I'm
(PS3SX) [545] the point is
Pete (PS3SW) [546] Please answer this question.
Andy (PS3SU) [547] No, no just, just please answer the question.
[548] Don't get all [...] .
(PS3SX) [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [549] Come on.
(PS3SX) [550] the point of view that the P A was booked for four thirty, so that we could set it up
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [551] Pete, that's not the point.
[552] That's not the point.
(PS3SX) [553] for six, so that they could soundcheck.
John (PS3SY) [554] Yeah,s s surely the, the point is, we'd have booked another comedian if it had been possible to book another comedian at that time, which it obviously wasn't.
[555] But it was obviously possible to book another P A. I mean that's
Andy (PS3SU) [556] But
John (PS3SY) [557] why your question's irrelevant.
Andy (PS3SU) [558] Just, just let me mention that you, you told me that you'd gone to Y S L,
John (PS3SY) [559] Yeah.
Andy (PS3SU) [560] and you were there for half past five.
John (PS3SY) [561] We left here at half past five.
Andy (PS3SU) [562] No, you said you were there for half past five, because you had to get there before half past five in order to book it.
John (PS3SY) [563] We had, we had to get there before six, when they shut, we had to go at half past five, [...] .
Andy (PS3SU) [564] Well I was told you had to get there before half past five.
John (PS3SY) [565] No.
[566] No.
[567] We left here at half past five.
[568] An hour after we were supposed to meet you.
[569] ... Is that, is that [...] don't want to cause any hassle, [...] but you know
Pete (PS3SW) [570] Can't I like cut the baby in half?
John (PS3SY) [571] what I mean?
Pete (PS3SW) [572] Well I wasn't there so I don't know.
Thomas (PS3ST) [573] How much how much did it cost you to hire the one
(PS3SX) [574] Hundred and fifty.
John (PS3SY) [575] Hundred and fifty pounds.
(PS3SX) [576] Plus also [...] .
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [577] No [...] loads more. ...
Pete (PS3SW) [578] So you spent a hundred pounds more?
John (PS3SY) [579] Yeah.
[580] Than we would have done. ...
Pete (PS3SW) [581] I hate having to make these sort of decisions.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Dave (PS3SV) [582] Well I think we should vote.
Becky (PS3T0) [583] I think we should give them two
John (PS3SY) [584] I think we should get our
Becky (PS3T0) [585] free yeah.
John (PS3SY) [586] two free goes.
Becky (PS3T0) [587] Free goes on the P A.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [588] That's not [...] . ...
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [589] It's, but then you see that's not just a question of two free goes, it's all well and good for you to say
John (PS3SY) [590] Yeah.
Andy (PS3SU) [591] two free goes, but this involves two nights by John.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [592] Yeah.
[593] Two nights [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [594] Two nights out of John's like busy project
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [595] Yeah.
Andy (PS3SU) [596] time.
[597] You've got to bear this in mind.
[598] It's not as simple as you can have the P A, because you need someone to set it up.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [599] Well give them the hundred quid then.
(PS3SX) [600] [laughing] Yeah.
[601] I know [...] []
Andy (PS3SU) [602] But we haven't got a hundred pounds to give them.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [603] Yeah we haven't got any money.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [604] Yeah, [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [605] I mean we could we could give you the P A for the
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [606] bop, which would be, you know, doesn't involve as much effort.
John (PS3SY) [607] What, yeah, what I would suggest is that if you have some existing bookings, then, if you have two existing bookings then you just have those, you just you, you, you
Pete (PS3SW) [...]
John (PS3SY) [608] don't pay for those.
Pete (PS3SW) [609] For like next week [...] ?
John (PS3SY) [610] Do y do you have a, you have a booking for the erm barbecue now?
John (PS3SY) [611] For the P A?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [612] Mhm.
John (PS3SY) [613] You do, it's in my diary.
John (PS3SY) [614] Is it?
[615] Erm well erm, [...] guess so.
[616] Did you do that?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [617] You definitely booked it.
(PS3SX) [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [618] If it's in the book.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [619] I may have done it.
John (PS3SY) [620] I don't put these things in automatically,
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [621] Erm
(PS3SX) [622] We're going to have a week three event possibly as well.
John (PS3SY) [623] C could we erm get back to you on that one and talk to [...] .
Pete (PS3SW) [624] Well just, just find yourself a c couple of bookings, and we'll sort [...] .
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [625] [...] two.
John (PS3SY) [626] Two bookings.
(PS3SX) [627] Two bookings, [...] .
Pete (PS3SW) [628] But it was an accident, I mean
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
(PS3SX) [629] Yeah I realize that but the thing is if we'd had a phone call to say look, we're going to be this late,
Pete (PS3SW) [630] Yeah, well I wasn't
(PS3SX) [631] then we'd have been alright.
Pete (PS3SW) [632] I wasn't there, so I don't know.
Becky (PS3T0) [633] Something that if ever, ever [...] sorted out the bleeper hopefully in future I'll be on bleeper, and then if that sort of thing happens
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Becky (PS3T0) [634] bleep me [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [635] But it'll still, yeah
Becky (PS3T0) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [636] Yes I mean fundamental point.
[637] The porters do not have a key to the cupboard.
[638] That is
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [639] I mean
Andy (PS3SU) [640] that is against the law, because they have to have access to that cupboard in case there is a fire.
John (PS3SY) [641] I think that's where the principle is, cos if we, if we
Andy (PS3SU) [642] That's where the real problem lies, if you could have had the P A, if you could have gone into the cupboard and got it, even though we'd turned up at ten past six,
John (PS3SY) [643] There wouldn't have been a problem.
(PS3SX) [644] Yes.
Andy (PS3SU) [645] there wouldn't have been a problem.
[646] Because you could have put it in approximately the right places in the room, and we could have come along and we could have been running,
John (PS3SY) [647] [...] wired it up.
Andy (PS3SU) [648] so erm for seven o'clock.
John (PS3SY) [649] Yeah yeah, we could have had it going in twenty minutes.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [650] Still a lot of hass though, cos they don't know if you've just completely
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [651] Yeah.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [652] forgotten about it.
(PS3SX) [653] Yeah, that's [...] .
Pete (PS3SW) [654] Well no I mean
(PS3SX) [655] we di couldn't contact any
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [656] We have I mean
Pete (PS3SW) [657] I see, I see your worry factor here [...] .
John (PS3SY) [658] But if you, if you could have got the stuff over there, it would have been a lot simpler.
Becky (PS3T0) [659] The thing is, the thing is, the thing is I can see where everyone's coming from, but it's, it's thinking about it in the future,
Andy (PS3SU) [660] Well I do think that the porters ha should have a key.
[661] And I think they sh be
Becky (PS3T0) [662] But the porters have also got the problem that they don't want to let just anyone
Andy (PS3SU) [663] No, well what I was about to say
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [664] was that you could, you could give them ... then if we know it's going to be certain people, we can give them names.
[665] I mean you know the, if you give the porters a form, they'll
Becky (PS3T0) [666] Mm.
Andy (PS3SU) [667] give you a key for the minibus.
Becky (PS3T0) [668] Yeah.
Andy (PS3SU) [669] Now if you give the porters a form for a P A,
Becky (PS3T0) [670] Mm.
Andy (PS3SU) [671] they'll give you a key to the P A cupboard.
[672] I mean, you know,
Becky (PS3T0) [673] [...] you might find [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [674] I mean I can take a form up to the porters in Goodricke and they'll give me a key to a minibus.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [675] Would that actually have solved anything, because if you hadn't turned up, they'd have still been without a P A. [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [676] Well we're not saying that we wouldn't have turned up it's just that we were unable to turn up.
John (PS3SY) [677] But we didn't know.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [678] Yes [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [679] No, I know that I know that.
[680] But, I mean
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
(PS3SX) [681] So that's all we're saying that [...] .
Andy (PS3SU) [682] It wasn't just us though, there's Rich as well you see.
[683] I mean
(PS3SX) [684] Yeah but if you'd have phoned us, then we would
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [685] Yeah.
(PS3SX) [686] have known you'd have been late, and we wouldn't have panicked.
Andy (PS3SU) [687] Yeah, but at that time we were s trying to speed back to York
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Andy (PS3SU) [688] breaking all known records.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [689] I think I think [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [690] I actually did it in record time.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [691] Yeah.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [692] And I fell asleep.
Andy (PS3SU) [693] And he fell asleep. [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Andy (PS3SU) [694] went into a warp factor, just like on Star Trek.
Pete (PS3SW) [695] Come on, settle down.
[696] Settle down, okay?
Chris (PS3T1) [697] Right, why don't we erm ... give Derwent two free bookings, you know bookings that have already happened or are about to happen for free,
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [698] Mhm.
Chris (PS3T1) [699] erm [...] explore the key
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [700] [...] off the slate that you [...]
Chris (PS3T1) [701] explore the key issue with the porter, and erm, hopefully get the bleeper [laughing] sorted out or something [] , so that there's some system for shaking things up.
[702] [...] come down to a room and demand [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [703] The absolute
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [704] the absolute fundamental problem is thes thes is that there's not
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [705] There's not enough people running, the running the P A.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [706] There aren't enough people who know how to do that.
Andy (PS3SU) [707] I mean like John's out just about
John (PS3SY) [708] I'm out every night this week.
Andy (PS3SU) [709] every night this week.
Andy (PS3SU) [710] In fact I'm out twice tonight.
Andy (PS3SU) [711] So you know, it's not a fun
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [712] job, really.
[713] You know, if you ne if you're busy every night and
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [714] you're a third year student trying to do projects, it's
Becky (PS3T0) [715] Can you not train anybody else up?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [716] Well, I've said I'll get trained up, [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [717] Yeah, well I mean
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [718] I've, I've got to finish off this term's work [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [719] You see there's peo the people have got commitments and they're not wanting to take them on.
[720] And then there's other people that can do it, but, you know, people only come for like every couple
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [721] Yeah.
Andy (PS3SU) [722] of times and it you need to be out there
John (PS3SY) [723] And there are
Andy (PS3SU) [724] a lot to
John (PS3SY) [725] there's possibly
Andy (PS3SU) [726] learn how to do it.
John (PS3SY) [727] five or six other people on campus who could potentially do it with a just one night's look an and a diagram.
[728] Just that they, they're not willing to do it for nothing, and it's going to cost you twenty pounds a time on top of the P A hire.
Andy (PS3SU) [729] You know, when you get paid twenty pounds a night for driving the minibus, and you get paid nothing for running the P A, and it takes equally long if not, if not
John (PS3SY) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [730] longer
(PS3SX) [731] Perhaps we should look into something [...] .
Andy (PS3SU) [732] and then you only get paid, well the P A gets forty quid.
[733] Well people don't want to pay sixty quid for a P A, cos
(PS3SX) [734] Mm.
Andy (PS3SU) [735] it's getting expensive then.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Becky (PS3T0) [736] Why don't you ask one of the equipment reps if [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [737] They can't [...] .
Pete (PS3SW) [738] It's already been proved that they can't [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [739] Yeah, I mean
Pete (PS3SW) [740] in writing now.
John (PS3SY) [741] I mean it isn't an easy thing
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
John (PS3SY) [742] to set up.
(PS3SX) [743] Yeah, yeah, I understand [...]
John (PS3SY) [744] But potentially
Andy (PS3SU) [...]
John (PS3SY) [745] you, you can make a right mess.
[746] But I'm not saying that people are incompetent, but it takes a certain amount
Andy (PS3SU) [747] We want to be convinced.
John (PS3SY) [748] Yeah.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [749] Mm.
Pete (PS3SW) [750] Right.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [751] Prove yourselves [...] .
Pete (PS3SW) [752] Okay, we'll, we're digressing.

[758] I mean, we heard that if we'd come here before, you might have given us money, and we wondered if we could have it in retrospect.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [759] What?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [760] [laughing] Pardon [] ?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [761] There was a bop on Monday,

Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [763] and we lost about forty quid.
[764] And we
Becky (PS3T0) [765] Yeah.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [766] wondered if we could get some money from the Students [...]
Becky (PS3T0) [767] What, this, this is a bop put on by what was it, A F A M S was it?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [768] No it was just it was just us.
[769] And the money was g gone missing.
Becky (PS3T0) [770] What us, though?
[771] Just a group of people?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [772] Riot Girl.
[773] It's not erm any [...] society or anything it just [...] .
Becky (PS3T0) [774] Right.
[775] I don't think

Becky (PS3T0) [776] you'll [...] any money out of the Student Union.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [777] Sorry?
Becky (PS3T0) [778] I really don't think you'll get any money out the Student Union, and you won't get any money out of Ents, because Ents is bankrupt.
[779] [laugh] To put it bluntly, [...] any money.
Andy (PS3SU) [780] If you're a society you might get, you know,
Becky (PS3T0) [781] You should [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [782] Societies grant.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [783] [...] we're not a society yet, so I mean [...] thinking about that, we have tried to become a society before.
Andy (PS3SU) [784] I think [...]
John (PS3SY) [785] For a start we haven't any money.
[786] But er
Andy (PS3SU) [787] just to try to be a so try to become a society, and then make, make it clear
Becky (PS3T0) [...]
Andy (PS3SU) [788] you do have a debt.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [789] Mhm.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [790] What and [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [791] I mean Rave Soc get away with it all the time.
Becky (PS3T0) [792] It's just if you come [...] Finance Committee
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [793] Oh we know about that, problems like being [...] , so do you think we can become a society with a debt?
Becky (PS3T0) [794] You can become a society [...]
John (PS3SY) [795] Yeah, and because you can then use
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
John (PS3SY) [796] your erm what's it?
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [797] M R G.
John (PS3SY) [798] M R G to try and pay off some the debt,
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [799] If such a thing ex
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [800] I don't know [...]
John (PS3SY) [801] [laughing] If you can manage to get [] an M R G.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Chris (PS3T1) [802] Yeah, one potential problem with that is that Finance Committee have allocated all the society grant
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [803] Mm.
Chris (PS3T1) [804] money. [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [805] Lot of money.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [806] Yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [807] Yeah.
[808] Well, now the thing is, right what I've thought might be like a good thing, er ... cos we all like entertainments, is like if Riot Girl were to become a society,
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [809] Well we're trying to.
Pete (PS3SW) [810] Yeah.
[811] And everyone round this table could like join.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [812] That would cost you a pound and that would give you some cash, and it would also look good, and what is it a pound fifty you've got to pay?
[813] And I'm quite sure everyone would like pay a pound fifty to join this nice society,
Andy (PS3SU) [814] And become like riot girls.
Pete (PS3SW) [815] [...] bops.
[816] And could get
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [817] into bops free.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [...]
Pete (PS3SW) [818] And that would give you a bit of ready cash, and also it would give you a standing to try and get something from Finance Committee.
John (PS3SY) [819] You see I mean you, basically you need to get a lot of people I know there's no money in Finance Committee at the moment but
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
John (PS3SY) [820] I'm sure that could be rectified ... ultimately.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [cough]
Becky (PS3T0) [821] I think you've come to really the wrong committee to try [laughing] and get money [] .
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Pete (PS3SW) [822] You've come to the wrong committee to try and get like a cash handout, but er ... we do appreciate the problems of putting on entertainments, and bops on campus.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Andy (PS3SU) [823] In a big way.
[824] A four figure way.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Dave (PS3SV) [825] Probably more, probably more so than any oth anybody else on campus, yeah.
Pete (PS3SW) [826] But I think it would be very nice if everybody joined Riot Girl, just to show sort of affiliation of events on campus.
[827] So I think we should put that to a vote.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [828] Yes.
Unknown speaker (J92PSUNK) [829] Having been down the pub, I ain't voting. ...
