I think the last person who said they'd like to take over and re-start the workshop was Shirley. I can pm you her phone no and you can ask. I might also be wrong and it is someone else...

Catalina

WOW! Congratulations Margarida (and anyone else who might have helped out), I can't remember the last time I've seen the Action Room as neat and tidy as I just have! You have my permission to physically, temporarily or permanently, damage anyone who messes it up again.

Hey there

Is anyone up for giving weekly English lessons to our volunteer Alba, from Spain? Or maybe even hold an English workshop if they are interested and have the time.
Or if maybe someone knows any free classes held anywhere in Edinburgh, that would also be of great help!

Thanks

There seems to be a problem with the new computer, aka chewbacka. It doesn't crash just when attempting to switch user, it does it randomly as well. I've worked on it all day yesterday and it crashed about 3 times while I was working on a document or writing an email. It is great to have it so even ...

In total, the event made us about £1100 (final figure, after paying the venue - £250, and giving [awry] their money back for promo material - £200). Door made around £1400 (we had about 200 people), merch stall about £150 and raffle about £83. Unfortunately we don't have the exact figures anymore be...

Catalina

Swap? I can do your 7-9 if you do my 11-1... that work for you?

Catalina

Oh, and we should also remember to bring donation buckets (maybe nicely decorated tomorrow by the creative people? *blink blink*) and a stack of standing orders!

Catalina

Final update after the prep meeting: Door : 7-9pm Kata & Keni; 9-11 Kat & Cornelia; 11-1 Mira & Catalina (happy to let someone else do it if they want it) ; 1-3am Shannon (if we need someone for that late) Promotion : still need to do more flyering! There is still a box of flyers in the kitchen, up...

Catalina

Nix, there should be some more posters in the office and we just got in some more flyers. We can give out a case of beer (Jamie will bring some in, also for the rider), and we could also talk to Alex for a massage... Scoutt had some more ideas. Door: Kata and Keni will be doing 7-9. Shannon 1-3am. A...

Catalina

I'm just gonna go ahead and take care of some press anyway :p Mark and his band mate Alex have been on the press and promotion side of things so I don't exactly know what they've done. But the more teh merrier, every little helps! Nix, thanks a lot, raffle is yours. As for prizes, might want to tal...

Catalina

More updates: Door : we decided to divide the door vollies in 2 hour shifts so that nobody goes insane or gets bored and has no fun. So there's going to be 4 shifts and we need 2 people for each: 7-9, 9-11, 11-1, 1-3. People interested in doing the door so far: Gaia, Kata, Scoutt, Keni, Shannon, Cat...

Catalina

Catalina

Scoutt also had the great idea that we should have a massive raffle at the Fundraiser. We can some nice prizes and have someone sell the tickets on the night. Anyone want to be in charge of that? We already some ideas for prizes, they'd just need to co-ordinate them, get the tickets, get rid of the ...

Catalina

Kata also said she can go poster around Leith. Mark and his band mate are o...

Catalina

So, me, Harry and Alex from Awry had another productive meeting today. Printer does not seem to be working, at least not from my computer. I will keep trying but if it still doesn't work to print some posters and flyers in house, Mark will spend some money and get them printed somewhere else. Either...
