Yo, Trish is doing us a favour and looking after the cafe all day 23rd and 27th. There's no-one signed up to volunteer, so please let us know if you can do any shifts and help her out. This is all shifts, all day, including NMing. Maybe get a team of you and fellow hopefuls, and come in, frollic in ...

Passing this on... Claire Campbell and Gillian Fleetwood of six piece band Abagail Grey will perform material from their soon to be released debut album.

We still need a Night Manager. I've got someone who is 50% able to do it, so it would be ace if someone could say for definite. I've got stuff booked to do tonight myself, so if we don't get a Night Manager I'm closing the cafe and tonight's events will be cancelled. We usually find a way though. A*

Hey, We have no Night Manager tonight (or from Wednesday onwards). Also, noon-5, 5-10 and the evening volunteers shifts are still free. From 9 it's a night of Protest Songs from Al Young (maybe the right name?). Also, it's the opening day of the Plastic Bag Festival. Call us or pop in if you can hel...

Lockable cupboard - awesome idea! Need to make sure keys are going to be available for it, so need to have spares, NMs need to know about it. I was thinking of bringing up the point of no loud music before a certain time, so people know if they go into the cafe they can have space to chill out. A lo...

Thanks!

Sarah's left some quickly drawn samples for us. They're in my pigeonhole if you want a look. She's pretty solid with the style, and can do many things. She says we can tell her if we want a theme or anything.

I've asked for some yaoi. She blushed, laughed and agreed. Yeah!

Scout and I had a chat about this. It's all sorted, it will be beautiful.

They were the cheapest. We need new things now and again. I'm sick of the kitchen trying to be as ethical as possible while elsewhere it is not as much.

I tried to make some square plates out of leaves, but it didn't work so well.

A*

lucky

Well, Faith isn't going to do any more (though she planned to, and it would have been awesome) and I don't mean painting over the top of that. Just on one panel. She said she would hand in some samples, so we'll keep an eye out.

I attach the poster I have made for the cleaning stuff.

I have colour co-ordinated enough cleaning stuff for each area.

It took me ages, please help by putting stuff back where it was and encouraging others to do the same.

They are from SDS, our wholesalers. They were the cheapest square ones. I bought them after complaints that the display fridge was a mishmash of plates crammed on top of each other with things spilling off them. They have made the display fridge almost a haven.

We still have three shutters that are white from a couple of building days ago. A lady, Sarah, in the cafe today asked me if she could do some drawingness on them.

Yo, We need a Night Manager tonight. There's a full staff of volunteers all day and all night, so tonight's NM will not be alone. I think there's an experimental violinist tonight. Maybe.

The money won't be spent on a holiday for a few people, nor is the money to be blown at once. The place I had in mind is relatively easy to get to, not so far away.

In the silver drawers beneath the coffee machine, there are application forms. Any new volunteer must fill one of these out. Put the complete application form back in the drawers, and Emi will check regularly.

When the New Menu was discussed at the last meeting, Brony thought it would be impossible to impliment over the Fest. We thus decided to leave it till after.

Try and remind the vollie co-ordinators to turn up. The new menu stuff needs the physical things to happen first (painted chalkboards etc.) At the moment we're up to our eyeballs with festival starting things. Once we get settled into this madness it'll be much easier to impliment. It's one of the m...
