Friday 30th January 2015

Meeting began at 10:43am
. We choose Tom to be the chairman for this week, to start the process of the exhibition research.
. Catherine was chosen to do the meeting minutes and Mike has been chosen to be the chairman for next week.
Points for discussion
. Last year's exhibition they had it at the Rag Factory which many people thought the space was very small, hard to get too and they needed extra time to clean the whole place as it was very dirty. We were shown an image of the room they used last year. We need to consider the light in the room too.
. Some people made booths, where they also handed out food i.e crisps and biscuits
. Mike suggested a big space so its open, inviting and room for wheel chairs
. Wayne suggested a booth for Mike for his stop motion animation and also for Catherine's animation
. Wayne would also like to project onto a wall, which Tom said he will need to consider the colours of the walls, whether it is brick walls and if so he will either need white boards or a giant cloth which he can pin to the wall.
. Tom asked everyone where we would like to exhibit, inside college or outside? and what will attract people?
Suggestions for exhibition
. Tom asked how we are going to get critical comments? Which Catherine suggested a log book where everyone could write down critical feedback on what they have seen. Mike suggested questionnaires and Tom suggested we could invite people from industry's and also Fraser Maclean. We would also like posters, websites, e- invites to promote the exhibition.
. Set up could be done over a period of 3 days which gives us time to set up, arrange the decor and clean and then set up the bar and food for people visiting our event.
. Posters - Where could they be placed? need to ask permission, could we hand them out at college and maybe in Romford town centre?
. College venue - suggested that we could use the chiefs hat but we all said it may be too small. it was also suggested the big conference room in the college but we may have an issue with the light. If we would like to use the college then we are to contact Brendan and Rob North for information.
. We need someone to police the drinks and ask for i.d incase people are under age. Also the top up the food when it starts to go down.
. What we know we will need - Drinks, food, snacks, cleaning products, decor, bin bags (Who will be doing the catering?) ( Think about vegetarians and how much money it will cost)
. How will we get in contact with each other? we all exchanged email addresses, phone numbers which we can get in contact with people and also via the blog.

Catherine and Bobbi - To look at venues and bring research in for the next meeting . Kini - To look at Van hire . Mike - To look at catering . Fraaz - For advertising

Blog updater for every week . What equipment everyone will need for the exhibition . A fridge? Tables? Chairs? TV screens, laptops, extension leads, Plug sockets, PC monitors ect... . Who will make curatorial positions? (need 3 people) . Do we want the main piece for the exhibition and installations from experimental as extra piece of work?
Other factors to consider
. Venue- Look at light pollution in the room . We could ask Phil if he would like to create a professional video . Audio - In terms of audio we do not want muffling sounds throughout the room so earphones will be a possibility. . We want photos taken throughout the process and also Tom has suggested we all book a room before hand and set up our exhibition at college so we have an idea of space and time to set the projects up.

Meeting minutes
Friday 6th February 2015
Started at 9:50am
Cameron was the chairman for today and the agenda for today was to allocate job roles and find out where we are with the research so far.
Catherine mentioned some of the venues which myself and Bobbi have looked at which are either too expensive, or there is an issue with trying to get to them.
Both Catherine and Bobbi will print off some venues and enquire about them then present them to the group next week see what the group thinks then arrange a visit to go see the venue.
Tom mentioned that some of the venues, which Catherine printed off and presented to the group, look far too expensive but we could consider the shoot factory venue.
Cameron asked Bobbi for the blog details which we placed on the screen during the meeting and gave everyone the details so they can add information and comment on any of the work.
Cameron also said that the venue needs to be cheap, we need to see images of the room or hall and also would like Catherine and Bobbi to check out the prices.
Cameron asked Kini where he was with the van hire. Kini was going to ask his friend but he has changed his profession so he is no longer available to drive a van. He has also looked at van hire in Dagenham and Romford but will be doing some more research.
Cameron asked Rob is he would not mind driving the van, Rob said he only would if it was an automatic van. So he then asked Phil and he said if we are desperate and need someone to drive the van then he will.
Rob likes the name of our group but said we could call our group the nine cookies and the exhibition name could be the cookie jar. We will need loads of biscuits and snacks.
Tom and Cameron suggested we all could have cookie badges with our names on them. Or have codes name on our badges.
Everyone is very happy with the name of the group and the name of our exhibition

Kini mentioned that van hire could be anything from #40- #80 a day depending on how large we need the van.

Phil was not present during todays meeting but he turned up later on during the day and Catherine filled him on both of the meetings and explained what we are doing for the exhibition which is the research process and allocating job roles. Phil mentioned that his mum is a caterer and she may be able to cater for the exhibition, which we can bring up during next weeks meeting. Also Bobbi mentioned that her dad might be able to drive the van if he can book a day off work.
Bobbi and Kini said that the main prices would mainly be on foo, venue, van hire and equipment hire.
Wayne said that Brendon might be able to fund the van hire or equipment hire. Bobbi asked Brendon today and he said he will have to let us know and we will need a price list for him too.
We agreed as a group that everyone would have to pay one hundred and fifty pounds each rounding it up to one thousand and forty pounds.
Cameron mentioned that he would like us all to think about what we are doing for our fmp projects and what equipment will we need for the exhibition so he can start making a budget for the equipment hire.
