Currently the minutes are only available to registered users once they sign in.

£1300 to £1700

There must be a general contents section...
I filled in a long list of our contents when we did the policy.

There has been talk for a while about a TK book. I think Aaron and whoever is interested from the current crew might like to get together to explore the idea.

This might be of interest...

er...you can hire more than one person!

i think cleaning 7 days a week is essential.
you will make the money back because more people will want to eat here.

c'mon!

And I want to produce labels carrying some sort of death penalty. Someone can show me how to make them? I used to know how but I can't see how to match the ones I bought to an available form in my computer. Just use the reference labels already made. They are quite clear. We have some amazing and e...

here's the latest from ed: Hi again gareth - I think there may be space for more than a table's worth of forest volunteers in free as the forest choir is not as large a number as first thought so spaces should be available on those tables... please converse with chandra about this.

Try it with the second redraft.
Is it going to be printed A4 or A5?
A4 should be fine at that size.

A new multimedia arts night in the Out of the Blue Drill Hall Gallery Dalmeny Street off Leith walk. The event in question is on Friday December 14th.

Really very excellent work. Here is a list of items that should be in the forest shop: Books 1) The Golden Hour Book and CD 2) CIA Nights 3) Ryan Van Winkle - I Hate Myself, I'm A Genius, I Ruin Everything (I'm So Lonely) 4) Ryan Van Winkle - i think i Records 10- inch Vinyl 1) The Forest Vinyl CDs ...

I don't think it's hard. Just a simple explanation is best. Seriously don't underestimate the difficulties some people have in reading this stuff. The Burroughs is too much. Also it should be in as many languages as possible. 10 at least. Not just polish and english. That sends the wrong message. An...

Gaz

please bear in mind that not everyone can read well, and not everyone can read lengthy, wordy documents. can troublemakers always read well? will they be able to read the burroughs? it is very wordy. as simple a list as possible might be good, like you were getting at... it seems we need to clarify ...

we had our best minds look at it and this is the response: Pogo said via email... just tried to fiddle with the shop and yes, i confirm that it is broken. i don't know what to do for a fix.. i wish our site wouldn't get fcked with so much. everything was working fine until the last time the server p...

yeah, getting a piece in the press is surely best.
free advertising.

read the minutes of the last website meeting.
last week!
we mentioned this very issue.
you need to make a jpg according to certain size.
someone will upload it.
and someone will sort out the good/bad banners.
swith?
milk?
how's about it?

Ha. There must be quite a few forest notices/posters that fit the bill.
We should submit.
Alex, this is your moment to shine!

Had a very good meeting with Aaron.
He has given us half of his archives mainly covering TK.
They are extremely detailed and completely amazing.
We must get them on the site as soon as we can.

Quick minutes... Mr Gaz, Mr Swith, Mr Milk, Mr Ryan Identified the following issues: Website is slow to load. Are there too many components on the front page? Layout is too busy. Could it be simpler?

looks like we fixed it.

the problem was about 1000 line breaks randomly appearing the html.
how that happened we don't know.

the gold paint is very shiny. sanding would be best. that is a big job. bill says we have some sanders but not good ones. perhaps we should hire/buy one? i'm not sure of the prices for such things. i tested a patch by painting directly on the gold. it's okay but would need at least two good coats. h...

Gaz

Hmmm. Thought I might revive this one. It's not being used is it? That's a shame. Some people don't like the fact it's not part of the forest website. Well why don't we just have a new page created. Make the password for it public/semi-public and then people can make of it what they will. Or we can ...

Gaz

good idea
will be done

Gaz

it's locked.
it says the item is checked out.

can you sign in and on the left hand box click the box which says check-in items. that might work.

Gaz

The deed is done.
I'll put the footage on Youtube later.

Gaz

Cave bookings forum steps up to the gallows.
I've looked through it.
It literally about 500 bookings and next to nothing else worth keeping.
Let's pull the handle...

Gaz

There's a cave number?
Is it Nix?
Does he want this?
The whole point of the diary is that people are responsible for their own bookings. But if that's the way then we can put it on the Cave webpage.
Don't forget this short url which we can direct people to:
