General
Everyone’s present
Familiarise yourself with constitution and forum
Trip this weekend? Sluice static, maybe down to Lucan (make a post, check availability)
Talk about river safety and features
Read John’s ‘how to run a river trip for dummies’ and how to run trip away & look into grant John mentioned
Everyone has their responsibilities and it’s up to you to make sure they’re done. Whether you’re there or not
WhatsApp, use this for committee things
Attendance - as long as you’re going to everything you can that’s fine.
Don’t add personal things to the calendar, and please try and use the calendar as often as possible for events.
Instructors may be hard to get on saturdays, they tend to be booked by other clubs
Committee have to be aware of people accessing bh, it is strongly recommended that the key list will be scrapped if this is being abused.
Bundoran with houses is too separate, the hostel might be a better bet. Organising the bus to and from the surf is a hassle
Trailer has to be discussed closer the time
Attendance is too wearing, organise a roster and commit to specific trips. You have to meet a minimum number of trips for the year. (though try to make as many things as you can)
Set up passwords for the accounts.
Consider getting split paddles in case someone breaks a paddle on a trip
To avoid confusion, especially coming up to freshers, let people know in the committee chat before responding to facebook messages
Tag email for whoever it’s for, mark as unread if you open an email for someone else
Colours trip with another college?
Organise a bus to junior liffey descent
Contact other clubs about river trips (potentially split the cost of transport)

Polo wasn’t accessible at all for new members this year, aim to make it more accessible in the new term
Fresher of the week/month
For photos to be taken in the pool you need a permit
Try keep it to one committee post a day to avoid things getting lost on the page
