36. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Damien: Good now where were we.

37. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson John: Would you like me to send out another text to the members reminding them that the deadline for getting their tickets is tomorrow? We can go with a 22 seater if we don’t get the numbers and save €50.

38. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Damien: What does everyone else think, should we stick to the deadline and then go with the smaller bus or book the bigger bus in the hope that we will get a few last minute people.

39. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Mary: I think we should go with the smaller bus if we don’t get the numbers.

40. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Carmel: I think we should extend the deadline and maybe put up more posters.

41. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson John: We put up loads of posters and I put up acetates at all the drama lectures already I think one more text is enough. Besides the bus company needs final numbers tomorrow.

42. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Damien: I agree with John, we can’t force people to go.

43. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Carmel: It’s not forcing people but I think it is worth the risk of booking the bigger bus. Since it’s our first trip and we are hosting the national drama awards we need to get as many people committed to the society as possible.

44. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Mary: Oh someone should be committed alright (looking at Carmel) isn’t that right John (smiles flirtatiously at John)

48. Dramatic society Committee Meeting Saturday 23 rd September 1pm Damien Chairperson Mary Props Manager John TreasurerCarmel Vice Chairperson Damien: John you send a text to the members and then book the bus based on the numbers who have bought tickets by the deadline
