Electricity Costs

Landlady is installing meters. The building owners are charing her and she would like to get the costst back so she will be charging us for the electircity as of now!

End of lease

Stay or go in the questions.

• Active viewing needed for Board and a few members needed to go and view and get ideas/form contacts. Few people doing it provides single point of contact and keeps everyone on same page.
• No being on fire to be allowed in the new place if we choose to go.
• Publsh spreadsheet of places to view up.
• Shortlisting needs to be started soon with the prospectinve spaces to be voted on.

Members questions.

• Can we get a place the we feel safe in?
  • Yes, we can. We ned to get a place the will not look the way the developers want.

Wood lathe

• What needs doing to make the Wood lathe useable?
  • Risk assesment, training plan and spooling up and working will be needed.
  • Also, we need to have a warning sign for the lathe as well as a face shield.
  • ONLY people who have been trained should have cces to the chisels (lockable storage needed for that).

Alex’s Server build questions.

Blade server wold like to build the server as experince would be essential. Only place to put it in toilet. £110 needed to spend on it. For noise I will need to put I in an appropriate enclosure. This would allow members to have access to node for computational power on a rental basis. Blog needed to be set up. Informantion needed on request from Alex.

Kitchen build.

Extra hands to fit them, forum questions needed. Things need to be fitted, one afternoon needed for build.

AOB

• A date needed for the Save the space day.
  • Saturday 28th July and 4th august are the suggested dates.
• Cinema Obscura
  • Set a doodle to decide the day of the week for it to happen.
