Notes

  • Steve is stepping down from the SC and PW is joining.
  • We need keyholder policy.
  • We need a clear plan of what we are doing and when.
  • Start with a wiki page for the rota.
  • Donations are different from loans, if its a donation we need to agree it first.
  • Loaned items must be marked with an owner.
  • We need a categorisation of private items - ask first before using.
  • Any new piece of equipment needs assessing first, this can be done at the space in a safe area. We can refuse to accept items. This depends on who brings it in (their skill level) and the state of repair of the equipment. A minimum of two members of the OC or SC can assess items, If it is deemed potentially dangerous, could affect the fabric of the building or affect peoples enjoyment of the space it must be approved by the SC. If someone feels they are not able to asses an item more committee member should be involved.
