Exec Meeting 13.00 Conference Room
- Apologies – HLE, EH, RR, JC
- JCR Awards (HR)
The point on JCR awards I’m happy to be discussed in my absence and is whether it would be permissible to allow members of the interview panel to apply if we don’t get enough applications (I could use one and we only have 1 application for four awards so far). See my post on facebook about colours.
If you apply for the awards you withdraw from the panel
AP for us – push the awards
Panel is president, vp, chair and sports & socs
- replace with an incoming something/one of the trustees
- AP – look to see if treasurer if on the panel
- Colours (HR)
push these, make them more desirable, submit lots of nominations
encourage club captains and remember it includes just jcr contributions as well as sports and socs
Please have a look at the provisional nomination form before the meeting (https://docs.google.com/…/1tCnYBIg3f9-NcPispj28bNP…/viewform)

half colours get a certificate
the way we give them out

formal inviting all the people
you’d need to make sure everyone who gets colours would be there

- Apologies (HR)
having too much work shouldn’t be an acceptable reason – depends how far in advance things are announced
would apply to all committees as well as jcr meetings
committee meetings are often less advertised but are shorter – an hour lost isnt much
jcr meetings are well publicised but longer,
Compassionate reasons
Family commitments
Medical reasons
Job Interviews
Being out of Durham for social reasons
Compulsory academic commitments
All at the discression of the vice president and president
- rather than ‘send apologies’ its asking for permission not to be there
teams
- matches and training
- make it clear that it can be any member of the club – not just exec
- dependent on the size of the club
can’t have people leave in the middle
- if you’re there then you’re there for the whole time and if you have to leave then it has to be one of the accepted reasons
- AOB
meeting times will go out soon
consider handovers
