Members on duty are allowed to leave 5 mins before the 1st bell (chime), IF your class is not having tests. I will NOT be there to help you open the door anymore UNLESS members on duty let me know that they are not available for that day or cannot make it on time due to tests and there is a major function. This is to train you guys to be responsible, and rely less on me. I can be on MC, Annual Leave, out of school or attending a meeting and I cannot be there for you 24/7.

Updates as of today.
1. New DVD player and Radio to be placed in the general office. Please familiarized yourself to the DVD player in the mean time. Its specific usage will be made known to you next week.

2. New Gain settings on control room sound system. The Gain level is now at 11'o clock instead of 12.

If your name is not on the above list, do not worry, you will still have a chance to work your way up to the committee. I thank the previous committee members for their service and contributions to the club.

4. Meetings, duties etc will be carried out by the new committee. I will be slowly stepping down from conducting all these for the club as I believe the club has since stabilized ever since I "dug it out from the graveyard". Please continue to keep up the good work and service you've done for the school. Remember, "Practice makes perfect". Arrive on time for your duties. Ask when in doubt. Don't worry, I will still handle the training and mobile system portion.
