Current wheelchair users are having issues with suitable storage space

:heavy_check_mark:2  

​[8:19] 
CNC Mill pledge

​[8:19] 
Initial target was 2k

​[8:19] 
Pledge raised £1,070 from just over 20 members

​[8:20] 
Trustees feel we're not in a position to donate £1k of hackspace funds, due to possibilities of downstairs space, percentage of the members who pledged, etc

​[8:20] 
School has updated that another offer has been made

​[8:20] 
Chris has offered today to purchase the mill outright and long term loan back to the space

​[8:21] 
Other offer is £2k plus VAT for CNC, and £750 unspecified for the 3D printer

​[8:23] 
3D printer available from the school is a commercial level printer

​[8:23] 
no interest expressed by any member for it(edited)

​[8:24] 
David Clarke had explained possible delays to the school at the visit previously, so only just reached a point where other buyers may be coming in

​[8:26] 
Inductions and RFID tool access would be in place

​[8:26] 
along with long term loan rules

​[8:27] 
Option mooted by Matt L: use the money offered by Chris as a loan and pay it back over time
:+1:2  

​[8:27] 
First floated here, currently under discussion

​[8:27] 
Chris suggests a charge for the machine, this means the hackspace budget wouldn't be affected

​[8:28] 
James H - How long a term

​[8:28] 
Chris - No expected term

​[8:28] 
Option to repay initially from the pledge

​[8:29] 
David H - Do we have historical data on pledges

​[8:29] 
all - normally about 80/90%

​[8:29] 
Michael E - Some people may now be either/or due to this and the Hackspace 2.5

​[8:30] 
Option to take all the money as a loan from Chris, the pledges then subsequent charges would then flow back that way
:+1:1
Alex Wells reacted with :+1:
 

​[8:30] 
James H - Can't see an issue with doing it this way to enable both this machine and Hackspace 2.5

​[8:30] 
Chris - It's not just a metal mill, it's a general purpose metal working mill

​[8:30] 
Can do wood, foam, plastics, etc

​[8:31] 
last one we had was just wood and plastics

​[8:31] 
Action - Take the full amount from Chris, then paid back from the pledges and subsequently the cost of use

​[8:31] 
Ayes from all Trustees and members
:+1:2
