Swithun, I think we need another massive nacho night to reward ourselves for this fundraising craziness.

gaia

The cheapest option on Nisbets is this one, but Amazon has a few different brands like Kenwood that are much cheaper (but maybe less reliable?).

gaia

We were talking about £100 in 1 pound coins and fivers for the float.
I'll help at the merch stall!
I also need to know who's gonna transport the merch to the venue and at what time on Thu so I can give them the ForPub stuff.

And they still are!

gaia

They are fairly disgusting, especially the Men's, and don't get cleaned as often as they should. According to the survey, it's one of our weak points. Maybe we should rethink the cleaning system. Any ideas?

gaia

Thank you both! Ordering them does sound like a good idea, it's much less of a hassle. The second website looks cheaper at a first glance.

Danwood Man came in on Friday but tonight the printer kept giving me error messages again. We might need to call a technician again (or just start looking for another printer).

gaia

Count me in for the Dutch lessons

gaia

It needs tidying up. And a better way to store books so we know how many we have in stock etc. And a lamp. (I usually spend half an hour fumbling in the dark only to find out that no, we don't have any copies of Random Chapbook left). Anyone from Forest Publishing willing to take care of it?

gaia

Does anybody have access to a badge making machine? Yes? Can you lend it to the Forest (well, to me. I'll take care of it, promise) so we can make merchandise for the fundraising campaign relaunch on the 3rd of March?

Cornelia, as Birgit said we would like to use the logo (cat etc) on the merchandise, but it would be great to have some other design in that style, do you think you could arrange something?

gaia

Pretty sure it's still down.

gaia

Thanks for the work, Mike. The guy who tried to fix the router is the American who's been spending a lot of time in Forest in the last few days, generally being friendly and chatty and ITy. I still wonder how he managed to BREAK the thing just by trying to reboot it. It takes a lot of dedication :?...

gaia

We love you & your flatmate.
I'll try to freecycle one!

PS: Which broadband provider are we using? I remember seeing a BT router in the freeshop.

It's quite a recurrent problem - surely there must be a way to fix this permanently?

PS: I just heard that the router is now f*cked. Is this true? Is someone on it already? Gods of the Internet, HALP?!!1

gaia

i can help with an detailed & expressive description of how disgusting it was, if you like...

That would be most useful!

gaia

I'll do a sign tomorrow. Just for the ladies toilet, yeah?

gaia

Hi Simea, have you tried the couchsurfing Forest group?

We won't have any spare rooms in February anyway

gaia

We're going to work in the cafè though, we can lock up but we do need somebody to work upstairs and collect donations, check for corkage etc.

gaia

Here's an updated version.
I also updated the online one.

Best

CJ

The answer should be short and unquestionable though, not a block of text!

gaia

The answer is at the beginning of the volunteer guide though! So yeah, there is a way for new volunteers to find out, they get a copy when they fill in an application form. Maybe we should make it easier for people to know where to look? Put a hint under the question itself?

gaia

Weeee! Can I book it for movie night on monday? Somebody needs to test it!

Good job Kata.

gaia

Another exciting quest! We need to order bulbs for the kitchen. Scoutt tried to do that today but the internet at the Forest is down ATM.
(Mike will try to come in tomorrow to take care of teh interwebs but you never know).

gaia

Katy took care of the flooded basement disaster.
She also fixed the front door hinge with Joey, it now closes with no problems! Thanks guys

gaia

We're lacking candles again! Is anyone willing to drive/take the bus/fly to Ikea and get some?

gaia

Nice, I won't bother then

gaia

I'll make (vegan) cake if I manage to keep the flu at bay!

gaia

So, anyone up for a Forest potluck Christmas dinner on the 22nd at the café? I know there's not much time to organize things, but hey, it's never to late.
RSVP!
BYOB!
Etc.

gaia

Thank you Sean. Should I start redirecting application emails etc to your email address until we get one for the website?

gaia

We get a lot of applications from volunteers who would like to help with site maintenance/design/etc. Problem is, the situation is a bit confused and I never know who to send them to. I think we need someone from the IT team to give tasks to these people i.e. coordinate them a bit - unless we don't ...

gaia

Updated version!

gaia

Cornelia, Jessy and me are going to bake stuff, but we´re going to take it directly to the fundraiser since we live nearby. Is there a specific time we should be there?
Jessy is going to make apple&cinnamon cake, I don´t know what I´ll bake yet but it will be vegan

gaia

Hi Adri, sorry for the late reply! We are now looking for people for projects starting next July. The British Council doesn't have the dates out yet, but the deadline should be around the beginning of next year. Our projects currently include things like Sound Engineering, Events and Promotion, Work...

gaia

I'll do that!

I agree, let's get rid of the loose tea, or let's switch to tea infusers. It's especially annoying when a costumer orders a pot of green tea etc.

gaia

I had the same problem. I wonder if we have a spare VGA cable? I'll go through the action room stuff, can any of the sound team people do the same with the sound desk equipment?

gaia

Will do!

gaia

I'm sorting out the pigeonholes and moving stuff in the hall cupboard. I REALLY need people to go through their shelves and sort out/remove junk etc asap.

gaia

I dunno if you'll read this, but I pm'd you lots of numbers

Hi there Maggie! Our EVS projects will definitely continue next year, so go for it

Be quick though, the evs people are chosen a long time in advance

Send your cv and cover letter at evs@theforest.org.uk when they're ready - good luck

Actually we let you out plenty of times to roam around the cafe, dispense wisdom and make delicious vegan goulash.

Kata,bring waterproof shoes! And warm clothes! It's already winter here.

gaia

We were thinking more of something like this!

Proper old school stuff.

Action day is Monday - 4th October. I guess. At some point during the day.

My old job had an online rota, it was cool. You'd need it accessible from the kitchen or nearby though. Maybe with a snazzy touchscreen monitor. /pipe dreams

Thought about that - but yeah. Even if I managed to implement one, we would spill coffee on it at least 2 times a day.

gaia

[OT] Alas, if only we could have an online kitchen rota. Especially cos it's gone missing. AGAIN. [/OT]

I have a dying hairdryer that's prone to overheating, flickering and passing out.
Therefore your hairdryer is more than welcome!

Do I dare
Disturb the interwebs?
