Krae Glas Council Meeting
28th February 2007 8:00pm, Sue & Peter's house.

Present:

Jackie Baker, Tiffany Brown (A&S), Lillian Johnston (Web Mistress), Margaret Rendell (Seneschal), Steve Roylance, Peter Ryan
apologies: Michele le Bas (Reeve)

Incoming Correspondence:

None

Reports:

Seneschal

lots of people getting ready for Festival.
need more events (have said this before)... one problem is shortage of low-cost venues, which makes it harder to do low-cost or uncertain-attendance events without over-using the Monash campus. Need to work through this issue. (Do other councils within KG charge less than Monash Council for use of parks? What's the charge for using school grounds?)

Reeve (by phone)

we have $2245

A&S

we now have bookings for library display cases in Glen Waverley in June, and Mount Waverley Jan 08. Should be able to fill in the months in between with other libraries (other Monash libraries, Greater Dandenong, maybe Casey).

Report on St Monica's (Tiffany Brown, Peter Ryan)

Staffing of O-Week stall was good, attracted an acceptable number of interested people. Fighting was good and people had fun, but more people to marshal were needed.
Weekly meetings have been moved to Friday. St Mon's are planning to continue with "3rd Friday" events after the end of the STTS, with potluck revels in the (West Wing?) Cellar Room. On other Fridays, the rehearsal room will be booked until 9pm to allow for indoor rapier training. PR has reservations about splitting rapier/heavy fighting: it will be given a try.

Event Report:

STTS II (Feb) happened, and was good in spite of 'interesting' weather.
Lillian is still boggling at the number of people who enter the cooking competition.

Festival Plans:

discussion of the changes the new site will make to Festival planning
number of people who need/want communal cooking is borderline practical. After lots of discussion of the practicalities of multiple groups sharing a stove, and of allocating charges for use, decide to go ahead with providing a "kitchen" (Adam's shelter) with tables, a single burner for heating water and a gas BBQ (as can be used at once by multiple cooks).

Upcoming Events:

Last STTS for this year March 16th

meeting closed at far-too-late pm.

addendum from 3rd March. At the Victorian Cooks' Guild meeting 3/3/07, further discussion of the communal equipment issue between LJ, MR, PR.
Since the meeting, LJ and MR have had indications that St Mon's will be deciding to not camp with KG. This would mean all the people who were "maybe"s for using cooking equipment turn into "no"s, and the setup would mean a financial loss for KG disproportionate to the amount of benefit gained from it. KG will still provide a preparation/washup area, but no gas equipment. MR will contact individually all people who had indicated that they would use a communal cooking setup, and ensure that they are able to work out alternatives.
