The UCH has raised their price by £8 per session. An extra £160/year may mean we need to look elsewhere after all, sadly.

6) Other Motions:
0) EXAMPLE MOTION
- Proposed by: N/A
- Seconded by: N/A
We propose that all motions written on this page should follow the format of this example motion.
Reasoning: This will keep the motions relatively neat.
- Comment: This motion PASSED/FAILED at the AGM
1) Interactive Day
A discussion of whether Fridays are still the best day for interactives, possibly followed by a motion to change it if we decide it's a good idea.
Reasoning: The player base has changed makeup quite a bit since interactives were placed on Fridays. Is Friday still the best day to hold interactives? In particular, is taking up their Friday nights a reason for our less than stellar retention of students?
- A thing to look at before the AGM here might be our chances of being able to hire rooms on other days. --Pufferfish
2) Minor generalisations of the E&D Policy
- Proposed by: Jon
- Seconded by:
The current policy contains some wording specific to the current system (for example it names "Breaking Worlds" as the society system). Generalise these terms to apply to any system we run.
3) Extend E&D Policy to exclude roleplaying effects similar to mental illness
- Proposed by: Jon
- Seconded by:
Add "We will not include mental roleplaying effects that parody real-world mental illness."
- Does "Effect:fear" parody certain anxiety disorders? Does your concept of "Mental illness" include e.g. autism, which some people would object to being classified as such? Does sacrificing all your emotions and then acting like an emotionless robot parody depression? What about personality disorders and in-system villains who are probably not very well-adjusted people and who would probably be diagnosed with some kind of PD were they to exist in the real world? I think we need to talk about where we as a society want to draw the line. ~Gabriel
4) Add OC requirement to drop a subject to the E&D policy
- Proposed by: Jon
- Seconded by:
Add "If someone indicates OC to you that a topic is making them uncomfortable then you should stop mentioning it. It is always acceptable to drop OC to remove yourself from a scene that's making you uncomfortable."
Reasoning: I believe we've been doing this already. It's arguably implied by "should not experience pressure to ... engage when they do not wish to", but I think it can use spelling out.
5) We should have an accessibility statement.
- Proposed by: Rosemary
- Seconded by: Dan
Reasoning: This makes it clearer what our games involve, especially because club larp has a reputation for being miserable if you can't fight. I wrote a draft statement for nitpicking here: Pufferfish/DraftAccessibilityStatement
7) Any Other Business
8) Rejoice!
