As many answers a I can provide below! I reckon someone needs to take on the job of co-ordinating this properl with BikeSmut, though. When do you folks arrive in the country? Time for the screening When would you like? It could be any time of day you prefer, but will probably work best early evening...

HGiles

Fucking brilliant idea.

I'm working, but will try and come on my lunch!

HGiles

Thanks

HGiles

I think this is generally a good plan, but:

Ragged have requested the use of the armchairs 9th - 11th. Would it destory the vollie chillout room if we borrowed them back for the hall those days? If so, no worries -- it's not a dealbreaker for them.

Hx

HGiles

Wow.

Thanks everyone

HGiles

It looks great!

When planning for the 27th, remember that Forest Fringe will be in the Hall until 11ish that night.

HGiles

Come to Forest Hall tomorrow night! It's going to be epic. We got a music line-up, beer and food: 8.30: Folk from Sharon and Lucy and friends 9.10: Wailing Miserere 9.50: Alex's Hilarious Enterprises vs. Billy Liar 10.40: fragments of [awry] psych ceilidh 11.20: Tickle + DJ 00.00: Malicious Mischief...

Oh yeh, he's performing at my Minifest. No space at my place though

HGiles

I'll pretend to be Roger McGough and do Poetry Please.

Molly and I are holding a massive party on and after Golden Hour night. We would like all of Forest to come :-) * * * 20th July 8 til late Forest Hall If you know what it's for, come and help us drown our sorrows. And if you don't, come anyway, and we'll tell you a funny story. Dress code: Black, cr...

Hey B -- sorry missed your post! Duncan has been away recently, whic is why this hasn't happened yt. For future reference, both Birgit and I are able to post things the site, so cc us!

HGiles

OK, hoping I can clear up some of this. Brittonie - We actually do have plenty of SOLD tape. It's in the office, so a KM can get it for you before 7pm. Sorry for not updating you on this. - You shouldn't have had to be there before helping set-up from 6.30 -- were you asked by the organisers to come...

HGiles

Probably a good idea to write a note in the café book on that day requesting no loud acts at the same time!

HGiles

I'm sorry this sounds like a lot of mess and hassle. I guess I've got to take a bunch of the responsibility for that, as in the end it's my job to make sure communication and organisation are clear. Can we meet soon to go over what happened so I can make sure it doesn't happen again? I'll be in Fore...

Spoke to Gordo: says he doesn't have a huge amount of time, but that he's happy to get called up when there's a problem that needs looking at. He's also going to create some signage for the kitchen router (saying DO THIS and DON'T DO THAT) and look at the action room computers this week! Hopefully b...

HGiles

Hey Miguel,

Programme's looking really good! I'll put it on our website. Do you have a poster?

Also, are you still doing a day in the café on the 1st?

Lastly, do you need an extra sound engineer for the evening, or are you happy to manage it yourself?

I also wouldn't be at all comfortable gambling money that's been donated to us in good faith for a specific purpose. But thanks for the suggestion.

HGiles

Reminding myself about this 'cos I've been way too grumpy recently.

HGiles

Thanks to Keni and Mirja, Forest heroes, who helped me out in the big Hall clean-up! Also to Jamie, who did some much-needed hall maintenance. We got the Hall job list done, though there's now some furniture that needs fixing in the balcony. Mirja had a good bash at the Action Room, but we didn't ha...

HGiles

Mirja did some general tidying on Saturday. It's both doing a really full tidy and doing a really full clean. Miserable job for one person, OK job for two, as long as at least one of them knows where stuff belongs.

HGiles

Which rooms is this happening in at which hours? I was a little confused by the book.

HGiles

I got on stage to retrieve a Cave amp last week, but I did wait until a song was finished. The tension here is between respect for performers and respect for people who've paid to use our space. It would a whole lot fucken easier to resolve if people respected the Caves and didn't keep hauling their...

I declare! -- A hall and action room action day this Friday, the 17th. Things that need doing: Hall - Tidying up all the furniture in the hall - Clearing the behind the bar area of the hall - Tidying up sound equipment - Generally giving is a clean Action Room - Clean the hell out of it - Arrange go...

HGiles

It happened again. I repeat my plea.

HGiles

The Action Room is not your personal hangout zone, storage space, or rubbish bin. It's a room that lots of groups still use for meetings and workshops, and which Forest volunteers use for essential admin for the building. Also fun. It's cool to use it for fun. it's not cool to leave a massive mess f...

Hey -- Iain Christie who was involved in the Art Auction has this message for us: As you know I've been involved in organsing an event for World Refugee Day called Welcome Home It occurred to me that we really need the lovely people of the Forest to have a presence at the evening. Would anyone be in...

We have a slot iin the Leith Festival programme, which is nice! It is 7.30 - 11pm, in the hall, on Saturday 1th June. Unfortunately we don't have an event plannned for it. Would you like to organise an event? It can be just about anything, as long as it involves music in some way! Open brief. Give u...

HGiles

Did we ever claim the money for this stuff?

HGiles

One of the tom skins in the Cave got broken over the weekend. We need a vollie who knows about drums to help fix it! If you'd like to run the skin-buying and -attaching errand, let me know!

Thursday 2nd June 6 - 9pm BRISTO HALL (upstairs at Forest) Forest holds a big Forest meeting about once a month, open to the whole community, to talk about the work that needs doing at Forest, come up with new ideas, and introduce people to the way Forest works. This month we'll be talking about the...

Macs are still reporting connection errors today.

HGiles

Thanks for fixing the WiFi! Keep us updated on the other issues.

If a recruitment email for a tech team were sent out, would you be able to organise a quick train-up in the next couple weeks?

HGiles

Same problems still ongoing. We need a tech action day!

- No printer for the office
- Unreliable WiFi everywhere
- No connection for computers in front room or action room

HGiles

It was awesome.

Thanks you

HGiles

I tried the cafe kiosk computer, and it wanted a username and password to get past 192.168.11.1. Is it supposed to do that? Can't remember the last time that computer has worked. It, like the Action Room computer, has been offline for over a month. Wifi update: judging by the questions I'm getting ...

Hey sound team,

We're hiring our hall PA to Morvern Cunningham of Leith Late / Roxy for the night of Thu 16th June. She needs a soundie to help get it together for her that afternoon, at 4pm. We'll also need someone to put it back together the next morning. Any volunteers?

HGiles

I'm on it, thanks!

HGiles

A lovely, lovely volunteer came in yesterday and did maintenance on all the drumkits. - We bought new felts and washers to replace the missing, so all cymbal and hi-hats now have these - We bought a new snare stand - The broken snare and bass skins have been replaced - All drums have been tuned and ...

Started working again this afternoon, but just now, weirdly, the only website I know I can access is this BB.

HGiles

OK, I've moved all the currently running workshops to the Forest UPSTAIRS and DOWNSTAIRS calendars, and Duncan (new website admin) will remove the workshops feed from the website, which should get us up-to-date Brittonie and Lien, shall we do a Google Calendar skillshare next week, so that you two c...

HGiles

I have no idea what this is for, but I'm excited.

HGiles

This was either me making a mistake about which amps should be where, or someone else moving things the very day I sorted everything out, posted big signs and emailed all Cave users. I hope it's the first, I really do. Aye, if you were able to check that both Caves have their quota of acceptable amp...

HGiles

I'll be back from Wednesday onwards -- can do any time on Thu or Fri?

HGiles

That's really amazingly helpful! Stick a note on it
