Kate B - Would like there to be a wheelchair accessible storage space
[8:16]

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
[8:32]
*Action David Clarke and Matt Lloyd* organise the loan
[8:33]
