Name changes
In December 2000, the Films Officer role became the Films and Administration Officer, and this was enacted in the 2001-2002 exec (the Secretary role became Chief Duty Manager, and thus the Films Officer role took on general admin duties). In January 2006, the Equal Opportunities and Socials Officer became Secretary, and so a vote was taken to revert this role to Films Officer - this was passed, and enacted in the 2006-2007 exec.
