Minutes
Lieutenant Roles
- Peter Harvey has been helping out a lot
- Consensus for Peter to be a lieutenant
- Karl Myer-Cutherbert is still up in the air
- Idea to have a Lieutenant training day
- Zeki will be looking after this
- We need some way to make the role of lieutenant appealing
Joint Event with the Football Appreciation Society
- Idea to have a FIFA tourney to bring a new audience
- We’ll supply screens and a console (PS4)
- Note that they/ the people will have to bring their own copy of the game as EGG only has a few old copies of FIFA
Magic the Gathering Drafting Event
- Idea to have it fortnightly
- It will be run with Good Games
Geek Trivia
- Idea to have the event with Games Dev Soc, Mahjong, Prog Soc, Drawing Circle, Film Appreciation Society, Chess, ENG Soc, and Anime Soc
- Idea to work together and book out various parts of the underground
- Possibly make use of the grants by writing it up as three separate events due to the fact that we are inviting 9 societies
- Also talk to Activate first
- Idea to have wireless mics for the event
- QPay could be used for the tickets
- Unfortunately, we’ll need to wait until we hear back from Activate. We expect a response by Friday
Weekly Events Update
- Thoughts about pushing consoles to 1pm with setup beginning at 12pm
- There only needs to be about 2 people looking after the event
- If we want to bring out the social aspect of a club we possibly need to have more irregular events, eg a Magic Bootcamp where you learn the basics as well as some more of the advanced techniques, EGG Tourneys, Roleplay Days
Thoughts about Rebranding
- Need to speak to Emma
- Trying to rebrand in such a way where it the mission statement is inclusive of both students and externals. Trying to reduce as much stigma or imply inclusive connotations in the mission statement.
- To do a total rebrand, we need to nail the mission statement proper and it needs to be inclusive.
- We want to focus on the social aspect of a gaming club
- Name ideas Gamer’s Guild, Gamers Collective, Kingdom of Gaming
- The name is pending right now and we’ll open up recommendations to the public
Fleet Refurbishing
- Gradually upgrade the video cards in the fleet computers from EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960s to AMD Radeon RX 570s as the former video cards cease to function, as per the case with Geralt, Elizabeth, Master Chief and Bender PCs.
- The next upgrade is to either upgrade the case, mother board or to upgrade to Windows 10
Meeting End: 8:15pm
