Chairperson’s Report 

ThinkAndCreate is next week, now is the time to get stuck in and get everything planned out/completed. We are nearly there.                   

Matters Financial

Budget is just over $2000; we are currently under budget by $1000. This is in line with previous years however Thomas would like to spend more on decorations. Thomas appreciates the in-depth catering budget. Kathryn has brought up that no-one is signed on to access the account and we will need an available student to do this. Thomas has volunteered to do this.

Sub-committee Reports 

·         Awards – Max has chatted with Dave Oshry; he was already planning to come to Invercargill, so we do not need to pay for his accommodation. All 3 judges can attend in person for the judging on the 11th Nov. A judging room is still needed for them to view the submissions. Kathryn is going to check what rooms are free on the day. A new 3rd year award has been created called the Returning Artist Award which will be the 3rd year material fees prize category. Zeta and Max will be working on the program for the night. Kathryn still needs the physical entry forms given to her.

·         Catering – On track, the subcommittee just needs to discuss when they will go and purchase everything, and when/where they will be making the food. Zeta has tentative date for 11th/12th Nov. The current hope is for PaknSave to come through with catering sponsorship due to the lack of response from Bakers Beyond.

·         Evaluation – Cards for feedback are all cut out, we need to organise a table, fairy lights and pens for the display. The master evaluation document now contains all current meeting minutes, all current meeting agendas, final Version Press Release, Lanyard Concepts and Final Design, Logo Concepts and Final Design, Certificate Concept. Still required: Sign-up Sheet Design, Finalised Certificate Designs, Event Programme Design, Advertisement Poster Designs, any in-development/sketches of anything designed for Think and Create. Evaluation feedback cutout design. Still to enter: Meeting Minutes from Subcommittees, Thanks to sponsors / Contributions, Artist Poster Designs. We are hoping to use the Boom Room for the group report debrief on Friday 13th starting around 11am. We are hoping to provide food for lunch from the leftover budget.

·         Fashion – Fashion rehearsal was on Sunday, there was a few no-show models that were axed from the list. For the most part it was ok, but there were teething issues around who is in the booth on the night. Too many people were trying to organise things, George has talked to Ash and Ian will be the only other person in the booth, apart from 1 stagehand to do cueing. Next Weds from 2:30pm onwards, Ash will be in Centrestage rehearsing and has requested Ian to be there with him. No audio student will be needed as Ash will help Ian with audio. On the show day, fashion will be starting technical things at 3:30pm, dress rehearsal at 4:30pm. The full itinerary is in the fashion discord channel. The full program and certificates were sent to the Printery yesterday, to be completed this week. Roslyn? is away next week so other committees need to keep this in consideration for anything they need printed. Fashion has requested access to Centrestage as early as possible on the 12th. Judging was on Sunday; they were impressed with the selections and enjoyed the free lunch. Tracey met with Rosalie about requisitions, she has been messaged to say they have arrived, and she can go pick them up. Catering receipts have been given to Rosalie.

·         Installation – Sunday was the physical install, it was fairly successful, thank you to everyone who came along and helped. This Friday Install is going to add some decoration to the walls to fill in space between exhibits. Later today Thomas and Chris are going to purchase spray paint and safety gear. Bella will be making stencils for the walls. This will be installed on Friday after 5pm. The Poster deadline has been extended to Friday 5pm and some do need resizing to the A2 for printing. The required print details are in the discord General channel. The first 20 submitted will be in glossy poster paper print, the rest will be the sticky paper. Any that are not high enough quality for the poster paper will be printed on sticky paper instead.

·         AV – There was an audio student confirmed to help on the night, but they are now no longer required as Ash will help Ian in the booth. All videos will be reviewed on Monday for selection, Tuesday will be editing the chosen files together. No progress with acquiring dragon frame laptops yet, Edwin will chase that up with Chris M on Friday. There is a rumour going around that there is a test screening in Centrestage, this is not correct however AV would be interested in doing this if they can get access. Oisin wants to come in on the 9th to check over his submission, Edwin will talk to him to sort that out. AV will try to come in on the 12th before the fashion dress rehearsal, to do a test run in Centrestage. Kathryn is emailing to see if we can extend our booking to full day instead of from 6:30pm.

·         Marketing/Design – Graffiti art is planned for the gallery spaces and main office area (As discussed in the Install report). There is a concept on the discord, anyone that is free to help is welcome. Edwin suggested that we get the feedback table/lighting set up on Friday. Two certificates are left to sort out, we still need a name for the 2nd year material costs award.

·         Sponsorship – Follow-up calls were made to potential sponsors; Art Supplies will provide a gift basket. Noel Leeming seems very keen to sponsor, we will hopefully hear back by end of the week. EB games said they are unlikely to be able to help but they will consider it. Zeta is waiting on a few more calls from places, Liquorland cannot legally sponsor us but might be able to do a good discount and potential gifts. Bakers Beyond is unresponsive at this stage, so now we are looking to Pak n Save to sponsor catering. 

General Business

Becca asked for clarification on the start time of the night due to different times on posters/media posts. Ushers will start at 6:30pm, fashion will send Becca a list of where the VIP guests will be sitting. Becca will create an itinerary for the night, for the students and where they will need to be and when. Signs are still needed to direct people to the green screen room and photography room, to get ppl down the hallway. There are currently 17 posters submitted which will fill the hallway down to the rooms or we can use graffiti. For the sake of cleanup, the direction signs will be printed. Ben has a question about the game posters. Rachel suggested we make posters for the games so they can be placed beside each game in the Kea room. Sticky paper was suggested for this, so we do not damage the wall in the Kea room. Zeta will follow up on green screen room access.


There being no further business the meeting closed at 11:16am.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be held at Rm236 on Wednesday, Nov 11th, 10:30am.
