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.
    • Workshop - metalworking is staying in the same area, need to plan the benches and machine locations. build a partition wall to separate.
  • We need to remind people selling things about the 10%.
  • To progress the blacksmithing - JW brother to look over proposal, conduct some tests on noise, research planning restrictions.
  • Guest wifi is working well, we should change the password for the members wifi.
  • CCTV ongoing.
