Revision as of 13:25, 3 December 2013

Items for possible discussion:

"A Grand idea"

A kind of super-pledge-drive. Rather than simply observing the state of the back account (in ignorance of monies committed, but not yet spent) and using that to incrementally improve the 'space, we should be bold, and see if the membership can quickly commit to putting £1000 (A Grand) into the pot, which would be matched from the bank account. With the current membership (200+) a fiver a head (on average) would see this done in no time at all.

Each pledge / contribution could be accompanied by a preference for where the money should be spent. With £2000 available, we could make some real improvements to the space and tools.

Just as a starter: Planer-Thicknesser (£400), Box & Pan Sheetmetal Folder (£300), 1/2" router, table and tools (£500) - it would be easy to make 4 or 5 major improvements within this expenditure.

David Clarke. (Note - I was about to add another topic for a member about pledge drives, so I am going to add a general 'Lets discuss how pledge drives work' topic for the meeting - Jake Howe)

Volunteer coordination, encouragement

How can we improve teams? Hackspace organisation? Make new members aware that no one else is there to serve them?

Wall in Metal Work Area

Pre-requisite to 3 phase - prerequisite to Mill/Welder Plans/Materials/People

Volunteer coordination, encouragement

How can we improve teams? Hackspace organisation? Make new members aware that no one else is there to serve them?

Mouse announcements

Probably suitable for AOB: Announce/invite ppl to:

  • Bad Movie Night - over a year of awfulness (on Friday, 7pm - late)
  • Big ol' pile of stuff sort out event (date & time TBD)

(Note - I like the idea of Announcing items at the members meeting, this will now feature every month when there are suitable announcements to be made, but otherwise featuring like AOB where the chair asks for 'announcements')
