Prepping for the switchover to an incorporated charity
- Staging (MF)
Drama contributing £800 over 4 years
– how do they get priority? booking system to avoid that
- PG JCR Levy (HL-E)
PGs pay their levy on a year by year basis – they experience the increase if it goes up
In principle you want to set a precedent
9 people have pulled out this year (UGs and PGs)
Solution to freeze someones fees – what you pay in your first year, you continue to pay for the duration of your course
If you graduate and start a new course, the levy will be subject to change
Could do a bulk payments?
Still good to do year by year to have the option – involvement in the JCR might vary
- JCR Meetings (LM)
Sunday afternoons?
Exec meetings, choir – always will clash with something
6 left to plan
Move them around, don’t always clash with the same thing – not the same people missing every time
People struggle with changing times
With later dinners, evenings would be very late
Should we continue with using the dining hall?
Using the JCR – take it to brooks
Would be too small for quorum – want to have seats for everyone
Push the meeting tomorrow
Will see how tomorrow goes – numbers/timings etc
Next one should be on Sunday 30th November – okay for now
