Woodstock Jag Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) We haven't laid on any refreshments. There may be a vending machine but perhaps one of our supposedly large student following will help me out here... There's vending machines on the Ground Floor (level 2 of the Boyd Orr) providing such items as chocolate bars, possibly crisp packets and maybe, if it's not out of order AGAIN... soft drinks in 500ml containers. Worth pointing out that any disabled fans wishing to come along should be able to do so. You'd have to enter the Boyd Orr Building from around the back (the street is accessible by turning off at the M&S near the top of Byres Road and then turning right and going all the way round to the end). Access to Level 4 is by either lift or stairs. If any disabled fans wish to attend, please let me know in advance (drop me a PM if you know someone who doesn't post here) and I'll do my best to make sure you get in and out with no problems. When you emerge at Level 4, you can't miss the Lecture Theatre A (it's well signposted). It's got a capacity of well over 100 so let's try and fill it better than we currently fill the Jackie Husband Stand...

chapwithwings Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 WiFi was an issue when I was testing the viability yesterday (VPN related issues). Is there any kind of 3G signal in the building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I've only ever been in the Boyd Orr building twice for lectures and it was a year ago but I'm fairly sure there are vending machines and there's also a cafe but whether that would be open after normal university hours I'm not sure. There were definitely a couple of vending machines for snacks, soft drinks and tea/coffee when I studied there going back about 5 years. You're right, the cafe would probably not be open. The QMU is only across the street from the rear entrance to the building, and IIRC the food factory on the top floor would still be open in the early evening, i.e. before the meeting begins, and there are also vending machines in the entrance to the building. The bar would also be open, but you might require student ID to get served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Is there any kind of 3G signal in the building? I was unable to confirm this one way or the other (my phone is a bit old fashioned and can't tell the difference) but certainly reception looked good. We're looking into this as a potential back-up solution though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honved Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Depending on what the WiFi and accoustics are like in the place, a cheapo video camera and a laptop would be enough to do a reasonable quality feed on UStream or something similar, especially if you can get a feed from the PA into the camera. Though if it's off-mic, then yes, audio quality might be horrible (but it would be for a pure audio stream too, then). Should hopefully be along on Wednesday so if you need a hand let me know. We're at the stage of it now being like the olden days of recording the radio top ten onto a blank C60 using a hand held mic next to the radio speaker, so your offer of help is most welcome, even if it's just to tell us that we could be doing something smarter and better next time! I'm delighted to say that you are only one of a number of folk who have come forward with offers of help and whilst the business of organising the meeting has got in the way of this plan this time round, we should be willing to give this a more convincing try again soon, even if it's just recording highlights of the St Andrews night and putting them up on YouTube.

Pie Of The Month Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) I'm going to go. I've got no excuses and only live around 15-20minutes walk away. Although my girlfriend isn't too happy about missing Orange Wednesdays at the cinema. Edited October 5, 2010 by Pie Of The Month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Clucking bell! The Trust are trying to get a meeting together and people are nit picking about internet streaming and the venue. You can't please everyone. I've never had any internet streaming for meetings in work so why would they do it here? There is a meeting. If you can attend good. If not then setup a proxy to ask questions and report back or wait for the minutes. Glasgow is not Los Angeles, you can access it easily be it West End, City Centre or Possil.

dougie247 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Cant make it guys as i live in London but have finally pulled my finger out and joined the trust! So will be there in spirit and if you manage to get an audio thingy going then i'll defo partake of that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolenscone Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 It's important for folk to come along if they can make it. It's also important that the supporters' association tries to be as inclusive as it can be. I lived in the US for a couple of years many moons ago and I can still recall the feeling of connection (as well as the twinge of home sickness) that Lianne's website gave me. There are some Jags fans in far flung places who want to do what they can to stay involved and connected to their club. If this works (and I remain to be convinced of the technical viability!), then providing an audio stream will be a small part of assisting in that connection, but it's nothing more than that. Coming along (if you can), expressing your opinion and getting involved is the only way that the Club can realistically steady the ship and progress from here. The 8 folk currently on the Trust board have a part to play, but so does everyone else. Hope to see you all there tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.C.G. JAG Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have a wee bit of a clash of things on tonight but am going to try and pop up for a bit. But, in case the 3D THX CGI version not working, could someone post some old fashioned written summations of the evening on here later?

I'll be taking notes (probably not the only one) and I'll get something written up to go probably on the trust website and I'll post a summary on here as well.
