No Confidence

Around 11pm attempts were made to move to various items on the agenda, but these were forestalled by a mass of procedural motions.

Former exec member Nick Bullock was asked to leave the meeting for continuing to speak after he had been warned to stop.

A student at the back yelled "I move a vote of no confidence" but could not make himself heard.

President Chris Robertson said he would read the complaint from the Weir House Association, and he did this.

Capping controller John McGrath foreshadowed a motion that the matter be discussed at the next executive meeting.

More students left the meeting and it collapsed completely shortly afterwards without any further business being completed.

Several executive members then called a special executive meeting to consider the Weir House letter, but although this met it adjourned immediately. John McGrath's arguments that executive should not be hasty were accepted by the meeting.
