Notes
- Attendees: MT, AL, JW, JL, PW
- Would be good to have some sort of graph about how we are doing with money.
- The downstairs space is not that utilised. Could the function room be used for an extension of the workshop space.
- Our recommendation for downstairs
- Function room - folding tables down one side, CNC machine, workshop extension. Equipment should all be moveable.
- Front room - 3D printers, PC workstations. move member storage from upstairs to downstairs. make a desk for computers.
