Committee reports, as posted online:
Presidents report - Prema Cottingham:
- Chimera - ran very successfully and made a good profit thanks to Anna’s excellent management.
- New projects this year - Moonbright, Hogwarts and Dry Spell.
- Implementation of gear fees means none of the projects have run at a loss.
- World that Is has come on as a new project.
- It has become apparent that it’s not that widely known that NZLARPs provides financial support for projects and gear. It does!
- Successful Pirates game.
Marketing report - Prema Cottingham:
- The society is moving website platforms, which will make the “What is Larp” and NZLARPs websites easier to update. This will make the marketing role easier.
- Role has essentially been empty for 2 years. We have had rapid turnover of marketing officers over the last two years.
- Prema is standing for the role this AGM.
- Armageddon - we decided not to have a stand this time as the cost of stand increased.
- Aethercon was well run, we had a stand at that. Lots of wall space to put photos up, lots of sign ups.
Treasurer Report - Walter Hamer
Gear Report - Mikaere Curtis
- The paid for gear storage is working really well. It is much easier to take out and put away the gear, compared to old shed.
- Mike would like to make changes to the storage space, to allow more shelving.
General Officer Report - Dave Luxton:
Library con was not organised as well this year as last year, however it was free, and we did get some sign ups.
