Pres Report:
Did lots in sem 1, not in sem 2

Successful year

Elections:
- TIE moves a motion that constitution changes be examined before elections
MST seconds
Passed by general assent
- MST moves (tabled)
Add room officer to Committee
CPK seconds
MST speaks for:
The room is important for the club, but is often disregarded
One person in charge of room will improve cleanliness/workingness
NRR against:
Clubroom is imporant but tidiness shouldn't be left to one person, is the
whole club's responsibility.
Perhaps people who are put in door are an issue, door members should be
fixed rather than adding a new committee position
Committee can delegate a member to keep the room tidy
AJW concurs
AHC also does
OGM agrees with MST to some degree, but believes creating room officer will
absolve door/committee of room cleanliness
NTU questions if anyone running for committee will work on fixing the problem
NRR suggests that fixing membership will be better than being constitutinally
bound
MST moves to immediate vote
OGM seconds
Motion defeated, all other motions defeated by default
- MST calls for returning officers, MPF and CPK volunteer
MST moves to suspend standing orders

Discussion:
MST: MST is biased towards games, when he joined, were many mudders in the
club. The attitute towards games became less friendly, people lost
interest in the club. Games help bring in money for the club

When window boxes are occupied is often not much else to do.
AHC: not antigame
NRR: Other organisations/places can provide just gaming, club can provide
other things too.
