Forest BB

simone

the seeds from the seed swap have grown and are filling up my greenhouse nicely so thought a seedling swap would be a good idea.
i thought sunday 22nd may in the cafe, from 1-5pm as before.
hope you can make it

hello the forest food co-op is now up and running. at the moment we shall just open on a FRIDAY from 3-6pm, in the front room of the cafe. we have dried organic wholefoods for sale. at present we have a limited range but we hope that this will be extended once we make some money from sales. after a ...

simone

i know, the bag actually had the stamp on it!!! crazy, what next

simone

i shall be running a trial foop this friday 3-6 pm in the cafe with the idea to start next friday proper!
i shall be selling chickpeas, rice, quinoa, soap, salt, lentils, and oats. all organic of course

hope to see you there.

simone

i forgot that i am working tomorrow so can't help out, sorry

simone

i don't know, but a friend says whenever he has sat on chairs in front room he has gone home all itchy......

simone

there are two filing cabinets in the corner, one for TK and one for Fo-op. they are both labelled and used so please don't tidy them away!

i moved the night lights from last night on the stairs today as was paranoid in case firemen came in and saw them, but they left wax all over the stairs, maybe this is too much of a give away but i was not prepared to scrape wax off, or am i being too paranoid about h and s? is it the theatre people...

simone

as much as i dislike that stuff it may be more quickly effective than us getting new sofas. the chairs in the red room are also known to cause 'discomfort'.
we could spray them on the coming action monday so cafe does not smell for customers?

simone

the cupboard is quite full but i'm sure with creative storage it would be fine.
maybe we are due a free shop extravagana in the hall?

simone

i don't know that doing the floor in the cafe is wise with us probably not being here long term. it is a big job and expensive and needs the cafe to be closed for a good few days for it to dry properly.

simone

many thanks

simone

the reason that there was no sign on sunday was because i couldn;t find it. maybe we need a new one? there is also no way i can carry everything down or back up from the cupboard so when i put it out i only put what i feel i can carry, and if people want more out then they are free to go up and brin...

simone

if someone could put this poster on the website for me i will be eternally grateful
thank you

simone

There will be a seed swap on Sunday 27th March from 1-5pm, alongside the free shop. The principles are the same, bring seeds, pots, gloves and general gardening paraphernalia to swap. Give what you can and take what you need. I hope to bring some compost and egg boxes for people to plant a seed to s...

simone

i think generally peoples common sense when sorting stuff out works and we all keep different things too which is good as we all have different tastes. i don't like the idea of having a list of yes and no, eg i take kids clothes for friends and i have seen many others take them too etc. i agree with...

simone

i like the idea that dogs can sit on sofas but my friend and his family sat on sofas the other day and they ended up itchy when they got home.
could be the humans of course causing itchiness.
sit at your own risk i say on the sofas!

simone

hooray thanks guys yes, shall we meet at 2pm at the cafe. ken can you pm me your number if you can't make 2pm and we can go from there. i need to check that it is ok to pick it up then, i'll phone the guy in the morning. any probs and i'll call you both bring gloves as i have heard cabinets are shar...

simone

just putting the garlic in some soil should work brittonie

simone

hello
is anyone free to help me on friday afternoon collect a filing cabinet and sundries from somewhere on lawnmarket?
it is not far from the forest and should be walkable if a few people to help? or if someone has a van...does not necessarily have to be a friday.
thanks

simone

time: same as free shop? 1-5pm

simone

yeah!! i think anything plant related could be good, spare pots, gloves, trowels etc etc maybe i could bring some compost and people could plant a seed in a paper pot to take away with them? we could make paper pots to give away collecting egg boxes too would be good for people to take for seedlings...

simone

the free shop is open on sunday from about 1-5pm and you can just bring stuff in.

i want to arrange a seed swap in march time so you should keep your seeds til then!

simone

maybe of interest, especially if you are near there

We are trying to provoke Scotland into asking questions r...

simone

great night bloo, thanks

simone

forgot that i am working at forest tonight , so hope to pop into meeting for a bit.

mike passes on his apologies, he is also working.

simone

you can never have too much bunting, whatever shape!

simone

does anyone know the latest on this? dan did you contact them?

simone

is anyone able to move this thread to events?

simone

i think there was talk of it being in the hall, with things on different walls and music as well.

simone

anything for agenda for november?

simone

the gallery space is already in use that weekend.

also should we put this on the main forum, realised it is in fat?

simone

stephen set date for art auction last night for the 11 dec.
here is new thread for it!

simone

i love it susanna

simone

i'm with scout, it's good to be able to offer people a 'proper' cuppa sometimes. it's not too much more hassle. i would agree some nicer tea strainers may make the presentation nicer.

simone

ooooh, haven't used this for a while
i can;t be at meeting on thurs .
did we say at last meeting that we would do submissions this month?

anyone anything else?

have fun!

simone

hi
jane murray cannot change to the november slot so we really need to come up with a plan d. i am away from next thurs so won't be around to set anything up .
i have texted someone who may be able to help. fingers crossed, any one have any other ideas.

simone

the gallery stuff is in top right grey cabinet in action room and has label. do you want me to move it any where or is it ok there?

simone

i am still not convinced that spending this money at the moment is a wise idea.

simone

i have e mailed jane murray to see if she can swap her show to november. will let you know asap.

simone

sure, as long as he doesn't want us to buy bags of red and white!!!

simone

update

will has decided that the shutters on gallery fine and would rather use budget for other things for his show.
this means only £30 for doors......maybe!

thats all

simone

there is a section of one of the grey filing cabinets that is gallery stuff, it used to have a label. i will check it asap.
simone

simone

yep that old chesnut! so it has been proposed that we put better blinds on the gallery doors. this has come up because we have a resident artist this month and they want to be able to leave things in gallery while they go to loo/ get food without things being tampered with. maybe too late this month...

simone

will is still looking for somewhere to stay next month . he is happy to pay rent for a room if someone has a spare room to let. he is coming to put the show on and as we know it's all for free so it would be good if we could help him out in some way.
thanks
