* Yule Feast: Lady Ayeshah: Absent..
* Ball: no firm proposals yet.
* Collegium: no proposals yet.
* CF '99: two proposals from M Madeleine and THL Sebastian.
 Long and detailed discussion. Concern that increased cost of S
proposal not necessary, concern that event followed proposal
without excessive last minute changes. Concern that M proposal
limited in scope and detail - comment that people want lots going
on at a CF. Final consensus to accept Sebastian's bid with some
requirements: one person to act as financial officer and exercise
tight control on expenditure. Price to be dropped if $500
pavilion unable to be found. Separation of food provision and
other sub-event budgets from event general budget
