All volunteers are shown fire extinguishers, alarms and fire exits on their first shift in the kitchen. They are told that fire exits should be kept clear at all times.

Shannon

Yes...it would be really cool if it was up and running for the zine fair this weekend...

Shannon

Okay, it's the 22nd of July. There should be a meeting tonight at 7.30pm. I hope you've all been doing your research and are bringing along ideas...

Shannon

Definitely. They can go downstairs in the workshop if you want to drop them by.

Shannon

Monday the 4th?

Shannon

A copy will be up on the wall in the action room by the end of today. Don't add something on and think it's confirmed. Bookings should go through Xabina, as of the end of this week. I can help until Friday. There are some big gaps at the beginning of the month. Nothing is scheduled for Sunday the 3r...

Shannon

Are we open? I have someone requesting an event between the 29 Aug-3rd September. Can I give him a date?

Shannon

Sounds great, Charlotte.

Shannon

Poster won't open for me, but sounds good.

Shannon

Camping shop? Army shop.

Shannon

As Gareth pointed out, first we need some candidates to choose from. Tell all your (good) friends...

Shannon

Because it should be pretty obvious that you shouldn't lock your bike inside, in a fire exit?

Shannon

I think we should seriously consider rebuilding a bar. It won't be that one, but Chris said yesterday that it shouldn't be too difficult. Anything would look better than that fridge. Do we really need a display? We could keep cakes in the covered trays which they used to be stored in. Maybe there wo...

Shannon

Apparently the spare is being used for the show in the gallery.

Shannon

Good idea. Dan says you can often ask at paint shops for remainders as well. But someone would have to go around and ask...

Shannon

Yes, I think it's cool for Charlotte and Emi to get going upstairs. However, there isn't much of a budget for paint right now. Also, Deborah who is doing theatre stuff would like to have a bit of input as she is hoping that everything will tie together in some way. Also, the clowns are already on th...

Shannon

Okay, I have booked the Cave for most of the day on Saturday to show films. But Nix tells me that the extra projector will be in use in the gallery... I was going to ask Dan to borrow his, but he is probably on his way to Ireland by now. Any ideas? Can anyone get the films we need or at least tell w...

Shannon

There is money for equipment. There isn't money for events. If we spend £200 there is £138 left. This goes up to £218 at the beginning of August. Do not expect to be reimbursed without a receipt - please. Otherwise, get Ryan or someone to cut a cheque when you know the total. We need receipts...

Shannon

There isn't much to know about the hall at this point. July is almost over and then it's all booked out in August by us. But, I think Xabina and I will go over it tomorrow morning, so if you'd like to know more that's the time to come.

Shannon

I think there is still money in the travel budget and would be good for them to get it.

Shannon

Get in touch with Nix, I think.

Shannon

There are a lot of things that didn't get finished after the cafe revamp. The pillar is a mess and there are handprints by one of the shutters. Tables still need to be cleaned up and prepped to be redone by artists and I believe Cyrielle was going to recover chairs. Also, I think we still need new l...

Shannon

You need to put a cap on travel. This is already a very expensive party. £100 absolute max, preferably less (in my opinion).

Shannon

I don't think they should automatically get the money out of the events budget. Let's look what's there and see who else wants it.

Shannon

Some roles aren't easily turned over for long periods of time. I am going to show Xabina events and hall stuff next week. It might be good to show someone else at the same time. Send this dude an email, I think, but haven't heard back. If he's reading he should email info@theforest.org.uk to get in ...

Shannon

I didn't hate the film, but I was disappointed. I was looking forward to it but found it quite boring...

Shannon

We look really good in that photo! Whatever happened to that bar? It makes me want to cream.

Shannon

Let's not forget that bikes were not ever meant to be permanent loans. In regards to compost: I started it up again more than two years ago after a long period of dormancy (due to substantial health and safety issues). No working group system existed. The committee only agreed on the basis that I wo...

Shannon

PM me for the email address. Maybe this requires general Forest finance as well? Anyone want to help them? Hi, Amanda Dobbratz, the former Student Council president at GSA, gave me your addresses. She and I have been working together to start a street-level, public gallery space dedicated to GSA stu...

Shannon

Me. I've been on vacation with limited email access. I will be catching up tomorrow on the train.

Shannon

Looks great - do it!!

Shannon

We don't need another freezer. If space is at a premium, keep some pitta and wraps in the walk-in fridge. Also, there is bread in the freezer right now. If people would adjust the bread order as needed we could free up that space too.

Shannon

i'm not sure a fancy book is needed. we don't let them fill stuff out themselves. extra sheets with space for contact details and descriptions are probably enough, with a mini calendar for the events coordinator(s).

Cool, we're on it, so it can be put on the promo. Looks like Billy Liar and White Heath will be playing, as well as many still-to-be-determined great things. It looks like I'm going to get a bunch of Crimethinc stuff but someone will have to run the stall. I'm trying to convince Harry, but if not, i...

Shannon

Can we embed on the site without that shitty Youtube logo?

Shannon

Nix also did a cool video of the monster bike workshop:

Shannon

He has been in regularly to update it. That is all I know.

Shannon

There is lots of money in your annual budget. Cafe and events (which foh falls under) will get spent on the 8th bday and Happening so there isn't really anything left. Is it okay to take the £20 from your annual?

Shannon

What is it that will be happening in the cafe? Are you wanting the orange wall? There will be a mural on it by August...

Shannon

Another satisfied customer.

Shannon

Regarding the speakers: I think Chris was going to sort them out. Nix - maybe get in touch with him??

Shannon

Get in touch with Nix, Yasmin, Fudge... The group is a bit wobbly right now as I understand it.

Shannon

For an evening event:

I am leaving town the next day and Alex and I have been talking Genderfuck/Drag Disco Soiree as a farewell. I've gotten nowhere with planning a gig for the zine fair (I don't really have time to track down bands, etc), so this could be advertised instead as the evening event?

Shannon

Tanks? There are more checklists in the volunteer drawer. Is there a hardcopy? Where?

Shannon

I have printed more NM letters. They are in the safe in the kitchen.

Shannon

Nice. New EVS vollies arrive today so we're going to have dinner beforehand too. Cafe will close at 7pm so we can eat and be civil before the madness begins. It would be good if you could pm me if you're planning on coming for food so I have a rough idea of how many to cook for.

Shannon

Don't know. They were pretty there a couple months ago, but the building is council owned so you never know...

Shannon

It's a good idea G, but it's hard to get people to actually do it! (Myself included.)
