+
+- *Handover*
+  - _Overview_
+    - Some time between Easter and summer.
+    - Training modules on UONSU website that must be completed before you can be added to committee officially.
+      - A series of multiple choice questions directly based on information you're given, not meant to catch you out.
+    - You can access things like the event form from the SU dashboard.
+  - _Role Questions_
+    - Alex asked Indra if there would be an infrastructure document. 
+      - Later James arrived and said there will be a document, likely sometime soon.
+      - The plan is to give new Dev Secs their HackSoc stuff before the others, and then let the Dev Secs add the other committee members (as training).
+    - Joel asked about the GitHub
+      - Old committee members need to be removed before new members can be added.
+    - Trey asked if there was anything to be aware of wrt. speaker acquisition secretary. 
+      - Nishi explained that you contact people to do speaker talks, and you can ask committee waht they want to see.
+      - There can also be student talks e.g. dissertation, but ironically, students are often too busy with academics to do talks about academics.
+\
+- *HackNotts*
+  - Lana explained HackNotts - "big event, cost lots of money"
+  - Lana and Nishi will be lead organisers.
+  - We have enough organisers as of the form closing yesterday, but non-organising committee are encouraged to volunteer - applications will open later in the year.
+  - Will Rostance can go and get the SU card from Portland to buy stuff for HackNotts.
+  - If you know anyone who could sponsor e.g. nepotism, please reach out so we can have lots of sponsors and make lots of money.
+  - There will be a HackNotts organiser meeting where specifics are discussed in more depth.
+\
+- *Other*
+  - _Preliminary Event Ideas_
+    - These are not set in stone - just sharing for fun
+    - _Blender workshop - Will Wright_
+      - Would be useful for those with gamedev interest.
+    - _Game Jam - Nishi_
+      - Qiang told us we had one in 2023, but no one did it. Likely due to poor communciation - announced right after another event so could've been missed.
+      - We could raise awareness for Game Jams Hackathon style - letting people know about non-HackSoc events so they can form teams.
+  - _Misc_
+    - We agreed that the peak district is a fate worse than death - one that Harry has met with. General sadness at his fate.
+    - A RoboNotts crossover event was briefly discussed.
+    - We also talked about the Switch 2.
