WASD

LAN
- Should go ahead as planned.
- LAN is a bit quiet. We're not totally sure how to fix this.
- Need to rethink plans for next year and see how we make it more consistent.
- The first LAN is extremely important and needs to be handled well.
- We're removing Table 3 this LAN and running the Vive instead.

Publicity
- Tasteful video / good posters and things for next year need to be made.
- Could start filming things soon so that the next Exec have material to use.
- At Gaming, LAN, etc. Need to obtain consent as per GDPR.
Treasurer
- Ed is stepping down as Treasurer due to workload. We're thankful for his service and wish him well.
- Because he has done this with under 10 weeks remaining until the handover, we do not have to (per SU regulations) run an EGM to decide who our interim treasurer.
- In fact, we can determine this with a simple vote at an Exec meeting.
- Amelie was proposed as interim Treasurer, and a vote was held with 7 exec present.
- The vote passed unanimously. Amelie will be our treasurer until the handover period.
Quotes
Amelie - "I don't know where Bismuth is."
