Financial Update
We had a cheque bounce because we used the cancelled chequebook by mistake instead of the new one. Liz will write cancelled on the chequebook so this doesn’t happen again.
The financial status of the society is stable.
We’re still trying to sort out internet banking. The Wellington exec are signing forms and sending them back to Auckland to arrange access.

Past Larps
New Horizons – Our Little Secret
Went really well, good turnout. The venue was very good for a free location, and we managed to make profit which will help with the costs of the ongoing campaign. The game also helped to add interest to the campaign.
Chrono Continuum
The game was enjoyed. Made a smaller loss that the first game did. There were several things that were learned which should help to make the game better in the future. Food and drink need to be both provided and substantial when a game is run over a dinner period. Numbers in July will usually be less due to the weather, and more advertising is needed. Improving the crew experience is important to keep crew coming to games.
Jade Empire
Was a decent game. There was a dragon and plotting
Upcoming Larps
Chimera
Monthly larps
Auckland airsoft is running a more plot based airsoft game and is looking for nzlarpers to come and play one faction.
Game Safety
GM’s should make a safety announcement at all games, particularly at games run in public locations at night. Players should keep together and look out for each other. Players should not wander off on their own.
Gear update
The Stone Golem will have one last outing at the Brawl at Chimera and then he will be retired. The committee gets nostalgic.
Gear requests from Chimera GM’s still coming in. Any player requests are to be managed through the game organiser.
We are still trying to reclaim 47m of black fabric from Zara. It is not in the gear shed.
Meeting closed 9.20pm.
