announcement.

Treasurer's Report:
Paid bills. Cheque for camp deposit sent out. Balance ~ $3000 after bills 
paid. Nick's cheque is ready to be picked up.

Secretary's Report/Correspondance:
Absent with apologies.

Machine reports:

 o Door and Coke machine work, with the coke server on mermaid. Mermaid has 
   four working serial ports. Dave Manchester has installed IRIX on azure, 
   so we'll have that back soonish. We need to patch IRIX.

General business:

 o Plans were discussed for the upgrading of mussel into a higher-end
   server and the building of two new PCs using its old CPUs. Mustang
   mentioned some cheap Slot 1 motherboards he saw recently.

   MOTION: Grahame moves we buy two $80 Celeron motherboards. Anil seconds,
           passed without dissent.

   ACTION: Mustang will organise this purchase.

 o Camp is on the 24th - 26th of November. We are paying $450 a night min, 
   [Ammendment GMB - I was wrong; this should have been $375]. On this basis 
   we'll provide breakfast and a BBQ. Attendance fee will be $35 members, 
   $40 non-members. Ben will do posters and an application form; Grahame will 
   follow up with the campsite about barbeques and maximum accomidation.
 o James Andrewartha talked to Gaye Harvey about traffic charging. UCC is on 
   the same traffic charging code as the Guild and the Guild charge us 
   automatically. We will get our own charging code. Dunc and Yakk will 
   organise this.
 o UCS don't have very good records of the WAIX charging problems and will 
   be trying to reduce the bill on firewalled machines; WAIX traffic on 
   unfirewalled machines has been charged at an international rate and won't 
   be refunded. UCS don't provide guarantees about this.
 o Grahame moves we give Nick $300 to do a Coke run. Anil seconds, passed 
   without dissent. Grahame will organise tommorow.
 o Minutes: Nick raised the perennial issue of missing minutes. We
   haven't had any minutes published since the ones for September 5th
   2000. Further discussion is postponed until the next meeting, when
   we expect the Secretary to be present.
 o Keys: Despite the door being operational again, Cameron Hall keys
   are still in demand, and one of our four sets has been missing for
   some time.  We're still hopeful that they'll show up, but if they
   don't by the end of exams, we'll have to do something about them.
   Further discussions postponed until then.

Meeting closed.
