Committee News January 2005

What do we get up to in committee meetings? Check out this summary of what we talked about in our meeting in January 2005

New treasurer

The new treasurer - Keith Savage- was introduced. Keith has been a reviewer for many years. Keith's partner, Helen White, will also join the committee.

Sub committees - the way forward?

Following the success of the IT sub-committee, which after one meeting produced a redesign of the Information Booklet, an online booking form, revision of the web-site and an upgrade of "Surrey", our bespoke computer programme, it was agreed to set up more subs. On the basis that people do best what they are interested in John, Andrew and Keith will look at forward budget planning, James, Stephanie, Lindsey and Andrew will cover events and programming, Rosie, Nicki, Helen D and John will liaise with Nick Butterley and handle Friends of the Fringe and Fundraising generally.

Reviews

We aim to review every show after its first night but last year the Fringe was so big that it proved quite a feat! New committee member Robbie Carnegie is going to take over the organisation of Reviews and Reviewers with Peter's expert advice.

Funding

This is always a headache for us. We still hope to get a positive response to our new bid to Arts Council East Midlands for funds to establish a part-time Fringe employee to develop programming, venues etc.

Remember, we are always looking for new committee members. It's open to all
