It might be worth approaching RBS and Scottish Widows to see if they donate computer equ...

Re: Artists Facilities WG Meeting - 9th September - Minutes

There isn't really a Forest bikes any more since we stopped lending out bikes.
A few of us still do bike maintenance and the workshop will be the best place to do this when it has been tidied.
I've helped tidy the workshop before (haven't we all?) and will be happy to do so again.

Basic Bike Maintenance - Saturday 14th June 2pm.

Workshop will cover things you can learn to do for yourself to make your bike safer and more enjoyable to ride.
Learn how to adjust brakes and change brake pads, adjust gears, set your saddle to the correct height etc.

Not sure where yet, we can find somewhere suitable on the day.
