There will also be one the following week at the same time as I'm aware The Kandy Kreeps are recording and Katya can't either, so they will be coming to the following weeks meeting.

Rawr!
Met up with Xan, Lambert, Rob, Pat, Katy and Vikki today to debrief on the gig! A lot of people couldn't make it so we'll be having a meeting next week at the same time as well.
We decided to look over the good points of the gig, the bad points, and how we can improve on the bad points from last time.
Good points mentioned:
- Good venue
- Air conditioning
- Fun
- Wristbands to identify U18 and Over18s
- Food
- Toilet checks
- When the gig started
- Nice atmosphere
- Stage Size
- Good backstage area
- Efficient staff/volunteers
- Nice bands
- Nice beer
- Bands helping each other out
Bad points:
- Promotion
- P.A.
- No sound check
- Sound control
- There was no handle on the door going from the stage to the backstage room which was annoying
(when carrying equipment?)
- No publicity
- Bands disappearing
- Terrible P.A.
- No sound person
- Need more volunteers
- Turn out wasn't very good
How we can improve for next time:
- Bigger promotion schedule
- Lambert to do sound engineering
- Better P.A.
- Stricter Schedule
- Call in all volunteers
- Bands should stay unless they have to travel i.e. Birmingham volunteers
- Promotion; we all need to stick together, work together
- Arrive with a smile (everyone)
- More publicity; spread the word, advertise more, flyers, word of mouth, facebook, myspace
- Bands - myspace promotion
- Ask Raven to create some funky myspace layouts for them?
- An outdoor gig
- Stalls at gig to promote UA so more people get involved.
- Promote gig at least 3 weeks beforehand (have flyers done and ready)
Then everyone decided an outdoor end of summer gig would be good.
A list of places to ask or find out about:
Urbis
Castlefield
Picadilly Gardens
Oxford Road - park - All Saints?
Spinningfields
St.Anne's Square
St.Peter's Square
Angel Park
Gasworks
Car parks - asking private owners?
Same flyer as from the gig but edit the details!
Bands:
Gypsy Lips (confirmed)
Astrix (confirmed)
To ask:
Cheapest in Town
The Kandy Kreeps
Lights Out Action
Soundcheck first band on
Line check before every band
Volunteers need more specific roles and we need more, so will be editing current flyer to advertise for volunteers to take part!
We've found another P.A. rental place which I will email the details to Lambert to have a look at to see if it is decent.
Planning to ask venues/outdoor places for an outdoor gig and permission to do so on the weekend of the 18th/19th which will be Freshers week, preferably on the Saturday afternoon, to attract more people.
If it is somewhere like Castlefield, we could get one of the pubs or restaurants involved.
We could also have a stall with more information on Urban Alternatives.
We'll be discussing more next week =)
