[8:14] 
Team Social! People who want to be in a team or are in a team can get together, have a chat and work out a plan for their spaces

[8:14] 
No date yet - Kate is trying to find a good slot in the calendar

[8:14] 
*Actions and Minutes of Last Meetings*

[8:14] 
Ian has been recruiting 3D printer and Embroiderer machine - good responses so far, progress continues at pace

[8:15] 
Workshop technician - Trustees discussed, we'd prefer to have the teams who are members taking care of it as they go rather than paying someone. You guys are cool, do the thing!

Adam Froggatt [8:15 PM] 
*Financials* ^

[8:16] 
Thanks to Matt for his financial wizardry

[8:16] 
We have £17k in the back

[8:16] 
We were down £350 last month, this is light compared to previous months as we've been spending our money downstairs

[8:17] 
So in this case being 'down' £350 isn't a bad thing - it means 2.5 is progressing well

[8:17] 
Regularly committed outgoings - £4,900(ish)
Regular membership income - £4,100(ish)

[8:18] 
Snackspace does contribute a large chunk to that gap

[8:18] 
That Snackspace figure includes tool income

[8:18] 
It's not broken down at the minute as that's fairly manual

[8:19] 
Been down about £3k over the last three months, plus the doors at £7k

[8:19] 
Side note - doors are expensive

[8:19] 
this spending was expected, as it's on HS2.5 stuff

[8:20] 
This does reinforce the fact that membership payments make a lot of difference - an extra couple of quid from every member would have covered the last little gap between outgoings and incoming

[8:21] 
*Action Kate* - Update Membership team that our running values are more like £10-£11 an hour

[8:22] 
*Team Updates*

[8:22] 
*Tools Team* - Update from Andrew - pillar drill has some new parts coming in, a vertical strip

[8:23] 
RS care package - Andrew is re-arranging delivery, *Trustees to sort the pickup, Trustee Andy can probably get it*

[8:24] 
*Membership* - Open night attendance has been varying, but we think it's due to the season more than everything else

[8:24] 
it's rather nice outside

[8:24] 
If you can work on cool stuff on Wednesday please do! Makes the space look awesome and busy

[8:24] 
*Safety Team* - Dominic and Michael did a safety walkround

[8:24] 
Dominic has a fuller written report - this will be added to the wiki

[8:24] 
*Action Dominic* - put the report on the wiki

[8:25] 
Most likely danger in the space is probably fire

[8:25] 
(we're an old fabric mill after all)

[8:25] 
Fire preparation - We've got a lot of extinguishers, but no log of inspections of them

[8:25] 
This can be done by the safety team: weighed and labelled appropriately

[8:26] 
Matt Lloyd - can we do a fire extinguisher srvice contract?
Dominic - we had the same thought

[8:26] 
Seems this is going to be a good idea

[8:27] 
*Action Safety Team* - team to get a quote from the fire extinguisher servicers (edited)

[8:27] 
Call points -  needs slightly better signage, as the fire alarm is managed by Bizspace, not us

Matt Lloyd [8:27 PM]

Adam Froggatt [8:28 PM] 
Team also taking a look at ideas around safety inductions/orientations

[8:28] 
Lone worker alarm - It's been removed for now

[8:28] 
it's not used and was spontaneously calling James Fowkes on a regular basis (sorry James)

[8:28] 
After fire, lone working is the next big risk

[8:28] 
If some gets hurt and can't be assisted fast, that's a problem.

[8:29] 
Alarm had been used, but not activated

[8:30] 
As in the tag was on a person, but the button wasn't actually needed as there was no accident

[8:30] 
Eye wash station - One bottle was used and half empty, it's been disposed of

[8:31] 
Safety team will be adding further eye wash stations in the space

[8:32] 
Question from Dominic - do members know that the sprinkler system doesn't work, and do they care?

[8:32] 
Can it present a false sense of security?

[8:32] 
Good things - Fire doors were clear and accessible (thanks to the /Refresh people!)

[8:33] 
Spraybooth - filter doesn't seem to have been changed, but there's spares downstairs that can be used

[8:33] 
Fuller link to come soon!

[8:33] 
Kate - if there's stuff that can be done, we can always find a volunteer to handle specific pieces via the #general table

[8:33] 
*Hackspace 2.5*

[8:34] 
We have trays but not conduit (thanks TNT)

[8:34] 
Plan is to get walls painted then cable trays

[8:34] 
Do you like painting? COME PAINT

[8:34] 
The faster we get downstairs painted the faster it's ready!

[8:35] 
We provide everything - all you need to bring is yourself and clothing you don't mind getting dirty

[8:35] 
*AOB*

[8:35] 
Ali - Comes in early, there's lights on and sockets switched on

[8:36] 
Can we help remind people to turn off sockets and lights? For money and fire hazard

[8:37] 
Some stuff shouldn't be off - snackspace and such

[8:37] 
We can label these up

[8:37] 
Last person out really really needs to turn off the damn lights (edited)

[8:39] 
Downstairs won't have this problem - we've got fancy lights to solve that issue that can be turned off remotely

[8:39] 
Dominic - do we need more one on one communication to other members?

[8:39] 
Leaves a better impression to the others

[8:41] 
Lights are the biggy - it's a few hundred watts across the space every hour

[8:41] 
Ian - *ARDUINO WORKSHOP ON SEPTEMBER 2ND*

Alex Mann [8:41 PM]
