Service Projects: Brian Herd
Following up on last week's meeting Brian reiterated the point that he is looking to share the workload of club events more broadly. As part of this process, a list of jobs and processes o setting up the MCU for an event will be written to make this particular process less of a mystery and less daunting. Various others have put their names against various projects to support the process overall.
