-The tournament will be open to everyone, but a entry fee will be charged for those not in the society. The fee will be set as the price to join the society, so players will be encouraged to join UWCS if they already have a SU account.

-Ruth was contacted by IBM, who wished to further promote their company through UWCS.
-Ideas were as follows: Trip to IBM Hursley next academic year, a recruitment event in term one and academic talks in term two.

-General consensus is that people only really want to watch the finals of the event at Barcraft.
-While the event at the Phantom Coach was successful, it is an inappropriate location for future events. This was due to a number of reasons such as the lack of internet connection and no separate room being available.
-The unfortunate room clash with the poker players was due to a double booking by the Phantom Coach staff, and was not an issue on our end.
-The majority of new people were attracted to the event by posters. Print more posters!
-Unclear when the next Barcraft will be; the next major event, IEM Hanover, clashes with LAN.
-The time and date for the tournament was decided as 6pm on Saturday.
-Ruth will buy the prizes and an additional Gamecube and a VGA splitter will also be purchased.
-Enough interest was shown through emails for a tournament to be held.

-Unfortunately, sound proof booths will not be constructed for the finals.
-A new network card will be bought to hopefully fix Backus, or at least help diagnose the problem further.
-All services from goggins will be moved over to Estridge on Wednesday or Thursday morning at the latest.
-Disappointing turnout last week. The idea of talks was popular, but there are large issues fitting in anything before term ends.
-In future the departmental lectures could advertise the event to improve its popularity.
-One of the existing sets of keys doesn’t work and new keys will be cut by Mike.
-A weekly gaming session will be trialled. The first game will be Killing Floor on a Thursday night.
-Dijkstra was left out, this was simply a organizational error and better communication is needed in future.
-Ops will be restored to the new exec.
