%-----------------------------------------------------------------------

\topic{Correspondance}
Conor received a letter from Pat Moray re the regulations for
freshers' week stands. It was read and discussed. 

Mark had received notification of the UCESSA postal
competitions.

\topic{EARC}

Steven asked what the situation was regarding the EARC
festival. Mark reported that the paperwork was uncertain, we
had no ammunition and no confirmed logistics. 

John reported
talking to JK Walsh regarding ammunition. He (JK Walsh) will
buy a bulk lot and we will purchase this lot from him in
smaller (2-5000) lots. Delivery arrangements may be difficult
but this was deemed a small price for such an arrangement.

Steven is to email Ray and Pete regarding travelling to EARC.

\topic {Freshers' Week}
John pointed out that we cannot accept last year's ID badges
as proof of studentship this year. 

Steven suggested we wear our shooting jackets during freshers
week as it would be more colourful. No slings however, due to
the risk of injury in a crowd, and no glasses as they just
look too wierd. Borrowing of jackets may occour, but borrowed
jackets must \textbf{not} be fastened, they must be left open
to prevent deforming. Mark also said that clean t-shirts must
be worn underneath to limit soiling. 

\topic{Couch}
The broken couch is to be skipped before freshers week as it
is unsafe and an eyesore. Ben's GSU-donated chairs will
suffice as replacements.

Steven moved the bin from beside the coffee machine to the
range door. 

\topic{Pony Club}
Steven had spoken to Anne from the pony club regarding us
coaching them. This prompted a long discussion on the
relative merits of us investing in their coaching. Steven
pointed out that they need different coaching techniques than
we usually use. Anne wants a full day from us every three
weeks on a weekend. This prompted complaints as weekend days
are heavily subscribed allready. Ben pointed out that we see
little or no short-term gain from this. Mark and Steven
pointed out that it was good for the sport in the long term.
It was voted on and agreed that we would coach them this
year. A rota is to be drawn up and two people will make the
trip every three weeks - thus noone should have to do this
more than once every six to nine weeks. Conor and Peter Byrne
can't take part due to work committments. 

DUEC were also mentioned. Mark wanted to know the status of
our joint membership plan. Ben stated that we couldn't afford
to do this. Mark said that he thought the coaching was being
done incorrectly, in that DUEC had one or two long sessions
before their competition instead of lots of short ones.
Steven wondered if we could shoot air rifle prone at 25yards
for training. If so, we could have DUEC training in concert
with normal prone training. John has a contact in DUEC -
Laura O'Shea. 

\topic{Treasurers Report}

Ben reported sufficent funds for 3000 rounds of T22 and
\pounds120 to spend on freshers' week's reception. John
pointed out that that was to be paid for from the monies
recieved during Freshers' week. Ben pointed out that the plan
was to buy the supplies ahead of time from a cash'n'carry and
thus upfront cash was required.

Mark asked if we had been lobbying for budget increases. Ben
reported that we hadn't really done so.

\topic{New Range}

John pointed out that we had to start enquiring about the
plans for the new range again from Terry McAuley. Ben
reported new plans were up in DUCAC, but marked as not to
scale. Tim Cooper told John that the Sports Complex
committee's minutes were now available on the web. Mark is to
check on this.

\topic{Receipt books}
All completed receipt books are to be returned to DUCAC. 

\topic{NTSA Squad training}
Mark reported the increase in charges for the national squad
training weekends and the changes in procedures. Billing
arrangements were discussed with Ben and it was agreed that
the NTSA would notify us of the invitiation, we would reply
with the number of people going, and they would send us a
pro forma invoice. We would then arrive with a cheque. 

\topic{UCESSA}
Mark again noted the UCESSA postal entry forms. Entrys were
solicited. For 25yd Prone, John, Mark, Conor and Peter Byrne
will enter. For Air Rifle, Ben, Steven and Mark will enter.
Other entries will be sought, the deadline being Oct.2.

Mark pointed out that due to the number of people who are
disqualfied for not completing the course of fire each year,
this year anyone disqualified for this reason will have to
repay their entry fees to the club. This was agreed on by
all.

\topic{World Student Games}
Steven wondered what his status was in these games in regards
to Nationality. Ben also wondered. Mark will try to find out.

\topic{NTSA Squad}

Mark reported on the changes to the selection procedure for
the national squads, and the formation of the developmental,
junior, international and high performance squads. Entry
levels were discussed, as were training arrangements.

\topic{Beverage purchasing}
Purchasing arrangements for supplies for the Freshers' Week
reception were discussed. Ben was asked for maximum amounts
to spend and minimum amounts to obtain. \pounds280/14 slabs
of beer was agreed on. The question of quality versus
quantity arose. It was decided that the bulk would be bought
on a quantity basis, but if good quality beer was inexpensive
enough, some would be purchased. 

\topic{Posters}
Conor showed his poster idea (posters printed on shot cards).
These were agreed to be a good idea, which Conor attributed
to Steven. It was decided to put them up in high-traffic
areas in the Arts block and Engineering/Science areas. 

\topic{DURC Squads}
Mark asked for Steven's thoughts on the DURC squads. Steven
said that he thought the biggest problem was that we were not
shooting regularly enough - three times a week being required
to maintain a high standard, let alone progress. Two types of
squad sessions were discussed - theory, which would be
discussions of different aspects of shooting in a seminar
format, and practical, which would entail shooting exercises
and coaching. However, squad members would have to be
training in between sessions by themselves as we cannot
enforce this. Theory sessions might be a half-hour session
every fortnight or so, with a topic discussed and then
free-form discussion of anything people have problems with.

Entry to the squads should be determined by ladder scores.
Squads should be of a managable size - no more than 10 per
discipline. 

\topic{Freshers' Week stand}
The stand must be set up and the rifles must be cleaned.
People are too tired to do this at this point, so it was
scheduled for Sunday afternoon as that was the next time most
people could make it there. Steven pointed out that we are
having too many committee meetings and not enough work
sessions!
Steven will procure duct tape and velcro for stand repairs.

Mark will start printing forms and leaflets and book the
lecture hall. 

\topic{Deirdre Ninaber}
Steven reported having spoken to Deirdre. She requires two
weeks notice to get time from work, and has no computer
access, which explains her absence through the summer. 

\topic{Irish Marksman}
Conor will write the DURC Report for the Irish Marksman as
that was deemed to be the PRO's job.
