Minutes from MATILDA Monday meeting - 7pm 26th September

(please add anything I've missed out...)


1 - PROPOSAL - T to set up workshop to provide technical support for
building, including dealing with electrics and day-to-day maintenance.

He's already done work on the building in the past & is keen to take
this on, in return for being able to use workshop for his own stuff.
He drew attention to the dangerous state of the building - and
proposes to work with Building Collective to bring it up to standard
of fit for 'reasonable use' - estimates this can be done in two to
three weeks. This includes getting fire alarm system working again.


2 - PROPOSAL  - craft & knitting group to meet Sun 23rd Oct 7-9pm


3 - Gig collective want space for storage & to use for meetings,
preparing publicity materials, etc (possibly 2 seperate spaces? one
that can be locked for storage, a larger one for mtgs etc?)

bring this to next week's monday meeting
