Meeting (to be) held from 18:00-20:00 on 2015/01/08 in Zepler CLS Lecture Room

How did the last exam session go?
- Very well
- Everyone passed
- People have licences, callsigns and equipment
Upcoming exams
- Don't know yet
- Henry to follow up from David Henley
Scheduled (non-Thursday) sessions for practical stuff

Delete the "has left" line from the member page
- The form needs updating to set this to false rather than No, or something, maybe.

Next outing date, location and plan
- After exams in January
- Milford-on-Sea?
- Make a definitive list for things we need for outings.

Need to decide on setup
- MAKE SURE WE HAVE EVERYTHING WITH US!!!11!!!11!!!11!1111!!!1!!11!!!!1

Progress
SUWS repaying members for items they have bought for the array
- Henry needs money for Reel of RG213m, rotator controller cable and Triplexer
- Does Graeme still need paying for the rotator itself?
  - Yes
- They both need to provide an invoice
- It can be a self-made invoice
What do we still need?
Contact with E&F and SUSU Estates
- Have had a response. Need to contact E&F to arrange meeting (Murray)
  - We need to use an approved contractor or find someone to become an approved contractor.
  - Murray and {Daveruss, Tyler} need to decide a meeting date. Preferably outside the SUSU building so they know what we're on about.
- SUSU Estates email still hasn't gone out, sorry!
Speaking/meeting with other societies/SUSU
- Not really happened yet
Potential Shack in SUSU may cease to be bookable again and become an office.
- According to Darren this is not yet a thing, in that people still think it's being a clubs/socs room.
- We would still have access out of hours if it did happen :)

Any more information / contact with CubeSat group
- No
- Design is progressing, not much else.

Wiki page | Google Doc
A few tweaks/finalisations required
- Add VHF NFD, make it and end of 2014 newsletter.
- Collate VHF NFD pictures.
We need a list of people to whom to send it.

QSL card design competition
- Is this every going to close?
- Have we applied for any funding for this?
Received QSL cards
- Scan so can be uploaded to the website
- Also put in a physical album

Mentioned by Quentin - could probably get a free visit/tour as a uni club.
- Ping them an email to determine their attitude

Funding round 3
- When is the deadline for this so we can make sure we are ready

See Callsigns/Alumni page
- We have quite a few people now mostly from the '90s
- Dave has subtly hinted to Nigel that we would like the G8KMI callsign back despite not having a shack

Henry now has additional key?
- Yes
Do we now have a signout book for books/kit (Henry)
- No
- But we do have a piece of paper, temporarily
Additional books order (Henry/Darren)
- Darren has approved of the concept, but expects an email with a list of books to be bought
Do we now have stickers for the books? (Darren)
- No

For SUSU to change the 25 members limit would be easier as it's a bylaw compared to if it were a rule
But they don't apparently destroy societies when they drop below 25, otherwise most socs would be gone, so we're totally fine.
