...from monday, on wiki and below

=minutes, meeting, march 6=

==new proposals==

#Art collective is in a state of flux, in that there is now a seperate
art gallery collective who do practical stuff, but are also the de facto
art colective at the moment as the de jure art collective is doing nowt.
 Discussion about getting keys cut for people using studios - decision
made that collectives should ask/inform general meetings before getting
extra keys cut.
#There's going to be a WTO-themed film showing to coincide with the
social on Apr 6.

==collective feedback==

#ART/GALLERY COLLECTIVE: are having a closing party for current
exhibition on wed 8 march, with a new exhibition opening soon.  Request
from a photographer to clear and use room currently designated as
'campaigns room' as part time studio.  Agreed.   Decided that there
should be a time limit on how long somebody can bagsie a room for
without actually doing anything with it - one month.  Darkroom project
revival to occur....
#BUILDINGS: are going to tackle making the toilet near the hacklab more
salubrious next, having got all the toilets in the place working. Would
like any spare coathangers/rails to get the free shop sorted.
#CAFE: Planning a posh dinner to raise funds for Iceland campaign, May
6.  Now have mmetings on thurs at 6:30 and would like more people to
join up and do stuff.  Have established a blueprint for running socials
(on website?) and may do one for mass cooking.  Proposed that profits
from food at socials organised with no specific cause should go to cafe.
 Fair nuff.
#GIG: raised some good money for Iceland at last social, which was
class.  Got loads of stuff coming up - see website - and would like help
to run them.  Also planning a few film nights at some point - punx, ALF,
etc.  Two requests: if you're planning to do something that invovles the
gig spaces, email the colective to let them know to avoid clashes. 
Second, putting rubbish on the gantry does not suffice to get rid of it
- quickly ends up looking minging - take it way with you.  Skips
nearby...
#CLOWNS: now meet every sunday, asked if they could use sleeping space
and kitchen for training weekend, AOK.
#HACKLAB: there will soon be a noticeboard in the hacklab on which you
can pin your tech help requests....

==YF==

decided to wait and see about a special meeting till all the mysterious
facts are in....

==faslane 365==

agreed that matilda should help out, get involved, have people on
organsing group.  Contact Nick W if interested in principle in going uo
to faslane for a couple of days sometime next autumn...

==socials==

MArch 16th: Cafe collective? perhaps>
MArch 23rd: up for grabs...
proposed that collectives try and commit by next meeting to do a social
on some definite date in the future so they actually happen.

==ISYF==

(meeting somewhat freeform by this point)
Did anyone actually tell ISYF what being a collective involves?  Agreed
to try and encourage their general participation in eg monday meetings,
socials, etc.

==Agenda items for next meeting for collectives to discuss in advance==

#Tidiness: how can we make a better fist of keeping the place in
reasonable state?
#leaflets/one liners: current description on website unsatisfactory. Can
we come up with a decent one-line description we can actually use? 
Suggest that words "art", "music", and "activism" should figure.
