I think time is short, we need to facilitate kids on site, and we  
should just pay her so it gets done and we don't have to worry about  
it. I'm happy to work for free whilst someone else paid if I don't  
have to hear about kids disrrupting workshops. I would hope though  
that the child's space co-ordinator puts as much effort in as we will  
be, given that she's also being paid, even if it's a pittance.

If you want to negotiate a deal which seems fairer Mike, go for it,  
but it's probably more hassle than it's worth.

Nah. Let's have a bit of cash for food from them.
