Jobs for Landlord

• Carl emailed the PM, they want photos of the upstairs fire alarms.
• PM also wants us to clean the extractor fan.
• Both of these things are re the DCC building WOF.

Crooked Spoke Palestine Fundraiser

• Ashley wants to organise a fundraiser event at the spoke on Monday the 3rd of March.
• So far they want to use our kitchen to cook Palestinian food, may want extra hands.

Robyn's Community Things

• Talk of using taking our dinnerwear/cups to support Bike Breakfast at 7am TOMORROW.
• Also providing & storing food for Pataka Ora on Mondays.
• Jasmine from activism circles would like to use the projector to make a banner before opening hours.

Fish Plans

• Carl has aspirations of serving fish.
• He has been deep diving into local fishery practices, and his brain is swimming with ideas. Do talk to him if you have ideas/concerns.
• An account has been made with Harbour Fish, with a focus on flounder, cockles, blue fin gurnard.
• We cannot sell seafood we have acquired ourselves, mostly.

Financial Update

• RENT WENT OUT.
• $540 in our account.
• We have outstanding bills adding to about $1100.

Trust to Receive Funds

• Dylan wants to start a trust so that trusts that have money trust us with their money.
• Three people are needed as trustees.
• Mr. Pyle encourages us all to peruse the funding available from local institutions.

Event Intentions

• Carl & Dylan want to adjust intentions for events booking. Ideas:
  • A reduction & narrowing in focus of music events.
  • A soft limit of one event a week.
  • If there ARE two back-to-back music events, making sure they're managed by two different people.
    
  • Making sure that expected low-turnout events are within opening hours.
  • Trying to more matinee shows, particularly the low maintainence.
• There is now an events email that people can pick things up from - keep read/unread/marking hygiene.
• People's commitments:
  • Dylan would like to continue booking some events, but maybe only ones from people that vibe with us.
  • Carl would like to focus on larger events like festivals, conferences, etc.
• We should have more often Events Syndicate meetings.
• Next one 3pm Friday.

Domestic Responsibilities

• We have bad experiences with people living upstairs, and would not like to see that happen again.
• Carl says the kitchen upstairs is looking a little bit too domestic.
• Dylan says no-u about the downstairs kitchen.
• But overall we are doing good! Kitchen is looking mostly lovely post inspection.
• Camillo opened the floor for concerns about him staying upstairs, but none were raised.

Camillo's Upstairs Thing

• Sweet Camillo would like to run events upstairs.
• The DCC would not like us doing upstairs things here if they are super open, but if we approach it as a club it should work fine.
• Sol would like the floor area kept clear between uses because he is using that space as part of his studio.
• Should the public know our dirty secrets? No. Maybe some clean up is required before bringing people up.
