Meeting minutes 1/6/06
Apologies from Paul, Carla and Stephen for being late as senate ran late
ETHICS DAY
Art exhibition- 36 people showed up (Paul’s work not on display!)
Graphic warning was not put up for one shot
Day was successful, although union was quiet
Raised £43 for charity, decide what to do with money when look at accounts (do we give all to p & p network or some to amnesty?)
Exec committee asked to do things (eg move vodka frenzy sign) but didn’t.

COMMITTEE MEMBER TRAINING
3 places reserved, we need to see how much train tickets would cost to see if 3 can go. This needs to be done ASAP for cheapest tickets.
