Tentative Location: Ezone 210/211
* Will likely have to move to early Feb
* Smash Perth wants the 1st of Feb but we are unable to as we have Uncharity Vigil
* We will ask them how the 8th works for them
Geoff leaves 7:24pm
#### UnCharity Vigil
Tentative Time: 1st Feb 5pm - 2nd Feb 10am
* In the background we'd have (unless devices are in use for a another event):
* Mario kart 8 rainbow road time trials (gold coin = attempt on race)
* Atari highscores (specifics to be decided on later and might be swapped out for halo MCC) set up on a TV) (gold coin = round of halo, or 3 attempts on a given atari game)
* Pokemon escape room on gba emulator on one PC (gold coin = 30 minutes)
* Preferably one more computer set to a specified thing, maybe another high score suggestion
* 2 computers free use

* 5pm - 8pm: Lan w/ UCC
* 5pm - 6pm: Quake

* Tournaments winners prizes
* We'd like to give some kind of prize however we can't give out raffle tickets and physical prizes will likely eat into profits too much
* We can give a 4 pack of redbulls (if available)
* Check stock at busy bee
* We could go a symbolic role on the discord
* Everyone thinks this is a great and fun idea
* Need to ensure it is not similar in colour to committee, door, or event coordinators
* Taskmaster
* We will use a QR code or sheet of paper to put your name and discord username to ping people when that starts
* We could do this on Vanilla Minecraft
* For example, first to get a certain item
* The concern is we only have 4 PCs available
* We could ask UCC to borrow a monitor for the new PC
* This isn't needed as we can use the server monitor
* We could invite people to bring their own setups
* We don't really have the room for this in the clubrrom but we do have the loft available from 9pm - 10pm for the smash tournament
* Game suggestions for Tournaments
* Mario Kart double dash lan,
* this needs 3 PCs with 4, people on each PCs

## Clubroom Items
### Machine Reports
* Scraggy (3060) and the new PC's (4060) GPUs have now been swapped
* The NVIDIA drivers have not been updated for a while, Mikey will update them
> Mikey: update NVIDIA drivers on all PCs
#### Purchase of general use controllers for the club PCs
* James suggests purchasing general use controllers for the club PCs
* We have switch controllers, we have 1 classic Xbox controller
* Switch controllers are often in use for Smash
* the Xbox 1 controller works for PCs but doesn't allow for two player games such as fighting games
* Possible options:
* $54, 8bitdo ultimate 2c
* Does not have bluetooth capability
* $60 - $75, classic xbox controller
* Has bluetooth capability
* We have 2 Xboxs in the clubroom so having more controllers could be useful
* We could consider 3 additional controllers to make us have 4
* We can always purchase more if there is enough demand but for now 1 additional controller will be enough
* $90, 8bitdo pro 2
* This is capatible with the switch as well but is much more expensive
* consensus is 1 classic xbox controller, will try to find the best price and approve specific purchase via circular
> James: find and post a classic xbox controller for circular approval
### Other Items
#### Ceiling Lights
* Jasmine put in a work order and will follow up with a call if needed
#### Standing Lamp
* We don't currently need this, people prefer to have the lights off in the clubroom but a standing lamp will likely not help with this, we can consider back lighting for the future
#### Glass Panel
* One of the glass panels on the clubroom is cracked
* Jasmine put in a work order for this aswell and will follow up with a call if needed
#### Door Discord Bot
