thinking about it...

the froest grants admin could be done by the admin person.

it would mean cheques could be paid a bit quicker once a decision is made.

unless someone else, like stephen, is verey keen to do it...

cheers

Ahoy-hoy! Please discuss the time for this working group's meetings. It was put at 8.30 for my benefit, of which I'm grateful, but I think it can now be re-arranged to a more suitable time, eg. 7pm, so the admin people and others would be more likely to be able to make it. Up to you guys, and I will...

Gaz

er. i think from a quick look at the conditions of our licence it says something about no under 14s in the main area after 7pm or something.

can a person with access to the paper, check what it says for sure.

also i think the law would say no under 18s serving beer at any time.

Forest is not getting as much money from shop sales as we thought because the forest is paying VAT on shop sales! Currently if the shop sells a CD for £10, we give £8 to the artist and forest takes 20%, £2. But then, we believe, the VAT man takes 17.5% of the original £10 from the forest, so the fo...
