Format of the Year
 Ben Galloway suggests that the committee stick to the usual yearly format in which two shows are performed – The Weekend show in September and the Main Show in February – and this is agreed upon by the committee.  Yasmin Galloway brings up the point made after the Revue of March 2009 that the committee then thought two shows was enough work for one year Jennifer Halliday arrives with apologies at 15:35.
 Kirsty Leith reminds the committee of the idea of a Christmas Pantomime which was discussed last year as well. However, in light of Yasmin’s point about the Revue and the prospect of going to Scott’s Selkirk in December the committee decide that there is no time in the Cecilian year for a pantomime. 5. Weekend Show
 Ben proposes the Weekend show takes place from the 23rd to 26th September with the performance taking place on Sunday 26th. The committee votes upon this.
A short break is taken at 15:43. At 15:56, Esther McMillan returns with
the shiny, bound Cecilian Bible of Session 2009/10. The Bible is greatly
admired by all present.

6. Show Choice
 Ben shows the committee the NODA magazine which, as well as having a detailed list of what musicals are available for performance, has a beautiful picture of Sir Tim Rice on the front cover.  A lengthy discussion ensues in which those present at the meeting suggest possible shows for Weekend and Main show. This list is then extensively discussed and whittled down to a shortlist which will be e-mailed around the society in order to hear their opinions on each show.
