  15. Item 2 Matters Arising Item 5: The Estates Office has been contacted with reference to their demand for visitors to the exhibition to pay the Wilson Parking fees.

  16. Item 2 Matters Arising Item 6: The Safety Office and the Classroom Services Unit have not yet replied regarding power points in the exhibition venue.

  17. Item 3 Publicity for the Exhibition Rose suggested that an item could be broadcast on the Campus TV in the week prior to the exhibition to reach as large an audience as possible.

  18. Item 4 Catering arrangement for the Exhibition • The food and beverages provided for last year’s opening ceremony were unsatisfactory in both quality and quantity. • The catering company used for the Faculty of Architecture’s conference provided much better service, but it was considerably more expensive.

AGREED: The EO of the Faculty of Architecture will be contacted. Inquiries will also be made to the Finance Office. ACTION: Robin

  20. Item 5 Photographs Students from the Photography Society have offered to take photos of the exhibits as they would like to enter a photography competition on the theme of photography in Science and Technology. Using these students’ photos instead of employing professional photographers will save quite a lot of money as they are willing to do the work without a fee. AGREED: Students of the Photography Society will be allowed to take photographs of the exhibits, but the decision on whether or not to also employ professionals was DEFERRED until the committee has seen samples of the students’ work. ACTION: Linda will ask the students to submit some samples before the next meeting.
