Absent Will Jamieson, Tala Mencej

Date 13th August 2021 4:07pm–4:57pm

1. Our slot is on 30th August 2021 from 8–9pm. It will be streamed online, like last time.
2. We will probably use the ‘Crowd Control’ software again.•Because we have access to the Union, we can probably do some real life lighting.
3. For those in St Andrews, we may be able to livestream the Q&A from the Union.
4. We could potentially do a time-lapse of the setup, which we can play during our slot.
5. We will see if we can get a DJ to do a demo.

1. There will be a ‘North Union’ site (at the North Haugh), where events will take place from 2pm – 9pm. After this, the main Union will open from 10:30pm with a club night.
2. We are still waiting to hear what we (Ents Crew) can do at the North Union site, as a professional production company is running it. We will hopefully be allowed access behind the scenes and get to do some lighting & sound.

1. Instead of using Google Sheets, we are now using Airtable. Invites will be sent to Committee members.
2. A proposal will be put together for hires. Let Ryan know if there is anything you would particularly like.
3. No information about in-person meetings yet.
4. Alan will provide information about jackets on Messenger, including price.
5. We have Ents Crew t-shirts. Five of each size, from XS to XL.
6. DoES election — get involved!
7. Sam has put together a vector works file for 601, so we can do formal lighting plots.
8. Where possible, we will try to link training to an actual event. Training will be done incrementally, with skills ‘ticked off’ as they are completed. This should hopefully be more enjoyable for trainees, who will have been able to work on an actual event.

1. Tentative 20th August 2021 at 4pm
