looks like it's time for a price review.
let's talk about this in the next kitchen/events meeting!
we are working harder and making the same profit. that doesn't make sense!

scoutwinter

i think there's quite a lot of un-kitchenable cutlery around someplace. possibly in the crafty room. there's also some in the drystore.

scoutwinter

i think it's in the office

Jamie from zapatista suppliers came in today: it's a fiver for 500g zapatista beans (compared to 8.30ish for 1kg from Equal exchange) all proceeds go to construction of health clinics and schools in zapatista communities. he mentioned a possible discount on bulk orders, and mentioned that prices wou...

hi! please remember that when you sign up for a shift in the forest, NOT to sign up in any of the dark grey squares unless you know what they mean and are trained for that position! if you're not sure how the rota works, please ask a volunteer/the kitchen manager to help you out. xxx see you in the ...

scoutwinter

sweet

scoutwinter

awesome

colourful is best. i think a gentle political theme is good.
eg. people helping each other, not a big bloody war mural.

people helping each other DOES seem political, eh

scoutwinter

can i just say

maybe more people would show up for the meetings if they were actually HELD on the dates they are advertised on the website. for example, me.

scoutwinter

i think keep the freeshop fortnightly on sundays is ok, weekly if people have the energy for it. i am only running extra ones cos I have spare time and there's a LOT of stuff right now. COME TOMORROW and TAKE THINGS AWAY. if you're running a freeshop, don't be shy of chucking things out/handing them...

scoutwinter

dammit. make that TUESDAY in the cafe.

in the cafe

scoutwinter

i haven't found any minutes for cafe/events since May. if anyone has them, please bring them tonight!

hallo

Milk i couldn't follow the link to your wiki page? or rather, i did but there's nowt there?

scoutwinter

when i started this, it was designed to be pretty concise, so that a volly can read it while having a cup of tea and not get too overwhelmed. it was also targetting kitchen volunteers, hence mainly focused on kitchen info. also it was supposed to be small to keep costs cheap so that vollys can take ...

scoutwinter

agenda items so far: * from volunteer meeting - menu to include info about volunteering & how forest works, and use larger font size * use of forest for anti-militarist gathering support venue (scoutt) I know Ilaria has a point to add to the agenda as well... if all goes well we will be finished in ...

scoutwinter

hello,

Attending so far: Nix, scout, Mati, Stephen, Hannah, Lynne

scoutwinter

Summer opening hours are:
Mon, Wed, Sat 4-8pm

due to cafe floor sanding, the next opening day is saturday 4th July, 4-8pm.

REMINDER: books are loaned for 3 weeks, hats on loan for only 1 week.

happy reading!

scoutwinter

oh, and by the way - the gallery looks GREAT!

scoutwinter

ok.
re. painting/sanding I posted this on FWG already but:
it'd be amazing to be able to reppaint the floor of the window seat area, maybe on varnishing day. hmmm... door frames... this is not essential, can be done another time without too much of a fuss, but good to minimise the disruption!

scoutwinter

ok I love the freeshop but I'm not down with it being open next to & at the same time as old hat books, too much confusion about whether books & hats are freeshop etc i would like to be part of freeshop team but can't help out for a while... sorry. how about - on slow days, those days when you're tr...

would like to be there, but alas I'll be in surrey

http://www.theforest.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6467 Minutes from tonight's meeting. Decision regarding the mural - to approach the artist to see if they're interested in the window wall. Some kind of design incorporating the shutters would be great, and if possible the animals that Faith painte...

scoutwinter

Forgot to mention
that in the front room we would like to have specific furniture. We will try to sort this out on monday 7th june, and identify all the front room furniture by either fabric patch or paint on underside of tables so that we can keep the front room lookin' its spiffiest.

present - Tove, Joey, scoutt Agenda: * mural * old hat books library opening * sad plants * next meeting Mural See "a new meeting" thread in Front Of House for background information. Debate about where to have the mural - not to crowd the cafe or conflict with A0 project. Suggest - window wall of c...

hmm. fascist behaviour (torture etc) screened by a forest? Some people would love that! I love the idea of forest theme. But I guess I would rather it was an inspiring artwork rather than a depressing one. I know that images of tragedy and horror can shake some people into action, but others will ju...

scoutwinter

is there a theme in mind already?
I like the portrait-style stuff, the murals of people gardening etc. but I'm not really interested in a coffee shop scene...

scoutwinter

I think it would be amazing to have a big gorgeous mural on the front room wall above the existing book shelves. the AO's on that wall could be moved to the wall shared with the gallery. When is the next front of house meeting? Joey finishes exams on tuesday I think. I'm around & keen to get the boo...

scoutwinter

a mural sounds great
I'm not sure what the name of the artist is, or which murals they were responsible for on the websites you linked to?
sounds interesting though...

scoutwinter

no worries, worth a try
see you there

scoutwinter

are you guys going to the zine fair? will there be any chance of a ride back to edinburgh?

scoutwinter

i hope you've already contacted "the bike station"... there are all sorts of wacky bikes built by the mechanics there. including a "ski bike", with ski instead of front wheel.

scoutwinter

congrats on fundraising
I hope it was great fun too...
see y'all soon!

scoutwinter

hey nix etc
as stated in Joey's post - the library crew wants to fix the zoetrope. we also noticed the hanging-down-ceiling-fabric.

keep an eye out for nice (read kitsch) old frames and nice fabric for cushiony covers etc

heya a person has booked the crafty room all day monday-thurs this week, but wasn't using the space when I checked at 11.30 this morning. it's a right mess, which is a bit disappointing as I cleaned it up only 2 weeks ago and made it shiny and delicious. I would like to use the space, and it's not r...

scoutwinter

joey does zine distro too. "joey pesticide" has posted under zine-o-rama in this noticeboard.
it's called "fungal growth"

scoutwinter

me too
I need to garden
what kind of plants you grow? maybe we start seedling trays, things like kale
plant some garlic
what do you think? I can do some of this at home.
