But yes, Chris is his Project Supervisor, so maybe everyone could work together to create something lovely that we all like?!

Re: Cafe & Events meeting 1st July 2010

Just two wee points:

The festival rota, think the 2nd EVS box is meant to be 10pm - 4am? Or was it decided that 12am - 4am was better?

Paper cups - we won't need them as no drinks can be taken outside this year due to new licensing laws.
