Forest BB

scoutwinter

this will be coming along soon. hopefully we'll get a grant to pay for its development then away we go. stay tuned.

scoutwinter

alternately, each volunteer can be assigned to one of the KM's, that way it'll be easier to track their progress. the boxes won't be ticked off until the end, when we're confident that the volunteer is actually capable of all of those things, that way the piece of paper will also stay presentable no...

scoutwinter

we should definitely have potluck though: bring your own christmas/solstice specialty... but I'll do youse all a favour and leave the BBQ prawns at home (my dad's favourite christmas breakfast...)

scoutwinter

scoutwinter

our web guru is somewhat missing in action. I'll try to get in touch.

Take action to save a vital Edinburgh community space! Eidyn Architects have put in an application for building permission to convert the building currently housing The Forest (3 Bristo Pl, EH1 1EY) into 10 HMO bedsits and 3 private flats. If they are granted permission to go ahead with their plans...

scoutwinter

this is an excellent idea.

scoutwinter

except next meeting is 28th november 7pm as there was already an event booked until then

scoutwinter

how about in the cafe, threading out from the central pillar to the window side, like bunting.

scoutwinter

http://thenetworkforsocialchange.org.uk/ has anyone looked at this? apparently there's a scottish group, Scheihallion... next deadline is february... also, Oli mentioned this: http://www.apeuk.org/ that if we could put a climate spin on "defending communities" maybe by someone more actively involved...

The Forest I'd like to thank you all today My visit was Devine I sat and drank my lager And just enjoyed my time. The smell of food was wonderful Although I did not dine, But may I say, the atmosphere Was absolutely fine. So I will be returning To have a meal or two Cos the staff are really friendly...

scoutwinter

cool, nix
can you do this first thing in the morning? saturday afternoons are usually busy and having 6 people clustered around the coffee machine may make KM heads explode...

scoutwinter

or, at least use the Forest email account not my personal email account

scoutwinter

can you please not sign me up for stuff without asking me first
I'm not into it

also, I think this site is not very useful to us

scoutwinter

congrats to the Inky Fingers crew who packed the cafe last night with poets/orators of many kinds
what will next time bring?

scoutwinter

can you update it? I think it's a really useful tool, we can't tell people whether the hall's booked the date they want but they can check it themselves, before bothering you with an email etc

scoutwinter

definitely not mould, which is fungusy stuff that grows on old food
it's "mulled" wine...

scoutwinter

tip of the day: check the teapot before washing
if it contains bags/leaves, empty them into the compost! DOUBLE WIN!!

scoutwinter

don't forget, the 31st is also Samhuinn, a lot of people will go to watch the performance and probably go to the after party.

scoutwinter

last year this didn't get sorted out until the start of december.
so, I'm not sure.

scoutwinter

it's annoying?
but that's what tea IS!
tea bags are bad, maaan. extra paper (probably australian old growth forest), probably extra bleach, lots of extra electricity used, more expensive...
don't give up!

scoutwinter

BYO is better seeing as we need make money not spend it so much!
x good ideas x

scoutwinter

i think it's fine the way it is

If anyone attended the Feminist Soapbox - workshops or show, please PM me with feedback. The organising collective would like to incorporate your insights into future events! As for us, we had a great time and really enjoyed using the spaces that the Forest gave us. We had over 100 people at the eve...

scoutwinter

are they slides?
you can generally find loads of slides in the charity shops.
i think they might need to be fixed at the bottom as well, or they will risk becoming hopelessly tangled

scoutwinter

that's cool.
thanks
I am basically not free until the end of october though.

scoutwinter

i'm into it, but unfortunately can't do anything for a couple of weeks. bummer! it sounds great.

scoutwinter

this sounds smart
it's good to have a record somewhere in the cafe though so that when a band asks the kitchen crew if there's a sound person rota'd on then we can answer!
sweet as. love you soundbots!

scoutwinter

ok its their last meeting for the freeschool tonight we're going to make the screenprinting room nice to sit in on friday we'll make the cave nice on saturday i noticed that the cave is only closed until 5pm, could this be extended? I could call Hamish & check with him also I assume it's ok to have ...

scoutwinter

i prefer sousaphone
also you can play them like a didge, both tuba and sousa... the ultimate funk instrument

scoutwinter

scoutwinter

that's definitely a tuba, chris

scoutwinter

caned! yeah! what a job though.

scoutwinter

there is NO heating in the building at the moment. any forest planning should take that into consideration...

scoutwinter

i have lots of spare bike tubes
or you can probs get a free punctured one from any bike shop tell them what it's for

scoutwinter

you filled a hat with LEDs?

come to think of it, Stevie you've had my skirt since the banquet...

scoutwinter

holy moly this transformation is AMAZING. I mean, I've cleaned the action room a few times before but SHIT.

x x x

scoutwinter

1. I hate floor paint on floorboards = it's so ugly...
2. the action room is cold as hell in winter, and as gross as that carpet is, maybe it's warmer with it? alternatively we could get some rugs for the floor, but then again, since we're so short of cash at the moment maybe it's better to wait?

scoutwinter

more things:
do we have a working projector to use in the hall?

scoutwinter

ok would it be possible for the freeschool to have a small table of feminist books for sale in the cafe? they're from AK press. there might also be some zines and little merch things. also, is there an urn around that could be used by the freeschool during the weekend 25/26th? I know we were using o...
