ORDERS OF BUSINESS

Reports

Peter

  • will be getting a fresh supply of pronoun badges tomorrow morning, Peter has arranged for it to collected in the SU

  • Peter will try to leave the pins in association room and we can use for socials and things like that

  • welfare email not working yet


Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil

  • there is firstly the Newcastle vigil on Saturday that Mal will be leading to go to

  • for the Durham vigil, Mal suggested palace green at either 6pm or 7pm on monday, 22nd 

  • decided on 7pm as 6pm might be too close to the end of teaching time for people to make it to the vigil in time and clashes with college meals as well

  • as the vigil is static, we will not have to inform the police

  • palace green currently has items for lumiere, should not pose an issue but we can go earlier to scout and pick a spot in case

  • Mal may be asking people to give speeches for the vigil itself

  • the association can look into provide candles (from the association accounts, it seems we will have the funds to do so)

  • we can also perhaps have signs / banners to indicate what we are doing

  • we will need to fill out a risk assessment form (Amanda to do)

  • a sound system would be ideal, we have a megaphone somewhere (to ask Alicia) 

  • to look into speaker system, preferably something portable, Alex to check with people from climate strike to see what they used, Amanda to email DSU to ask, also to ask exec chat
