Forest BB

Just as a reminder: the next Vollie Induction will be Sunday, 25th at 3pm in the cafe. As posted on the website it takes place fortnightly now.
so, new volunteers who found their way to the BB - hopefully see many of you on Sunday!

Let's keep the freeshop happening every Sunday afternoon! I put up a brand new freeshop rota in the kitchen today. Everyone interested in helping out with the freeshop on Sunday afternoons is very welcome to sign up on the rota! I know that when you see the big mess upstairs the freeshop might seem ...

Yap, will do that.

Hi there According to the schedule in the Action Room and to the Website the Cafe and Events Meeting would have been tonight. But as there were only evs and no kitchen managers we decided to postpone the meeting. Would next Thursday (15 October) at 7pm be ok? Do you think its better to have the Cafe...

Hello Hello At the EVS Meeting today we realised that apparently there is no coordinator for the big fundraiser weekend yet , which is set for 5-8 November(- or did we just miss it?). There's only one month left and it would be great to a have weekend full of exciting, great events that crowd the Fo...

I'll be on holiday on the 4th, so i can't do the freeshop. but if anyone else has got time, go for it!

Yes, I know the list, we were planning to use it.
Milk, I think we've got copies in the kitchen, in the volunteer info drawer. Just ask for a copy.

Yes, Tove and I will get started with the Volunteer Induction Days which will be a regular event, taking place every second Sunday. Everyone who recently started volunteering in the Café or elsewhere in the Forest and everyone who is interested in becoming a vollie, is invited to come (well - should...

Perfect, thanks for sorting it out, Milk!

I have to add something important though - please BYOB! There will be some free Booze from the Forest for everyone but its not enough!

Sorry for the confusion! Just bring your things in either tomorrow or next Sunday..

Yes sure, I can do that.

Oh, I'm also not sure if i can make it to the meeting on Thursday because I'll have to prepare the Vollieparty. Could we maybe meet at 7pm instead of 8?

I just want to announce the party here for those who don't come to the cafe so often and therefore haven't seen the posters yet: Yes! There will be the next volunteer party next Thursday at 9pm in the Cafe. All volunteers who with their help safed us in August, everyone who is new and everyone who i...

Well, i think we should definitely keep the freeshop as an event that happens every sunday. and as i said before, everyone who would like to do a freeshop at another time can do it but should be aware that it might not be in the weekly programme and therefore advertise it somehow, announce it on the...

We discussed the freeshop yesterday at the cafe and events meeting and we agreed that everyone who is doing it should take care of cleaning up afterwards, making it easier for the next freeshop. So the list of tasks/rota you suggest is a good idea i think... besides i'd like to give it another try t...

How was the free shop going last Wednesday? We used to do it on Sundays and Tove and I plan to have a big freeshop next Friday, the 18th (because of the volunteer cupboard clear-out). So maybe we could find a day when we all have time to do the freeshop together and to set it up nicely? It could be ...

Ok, i just typed the minutes. thanks to tim for taking them. if anything's missing/wrong please correct me! ----- Volunteer Meeting – 06/09/09 – 5pm-6.60pm – Hall Present: Tim, Laura, Gary, Stephen (KM), Scout, Milk, Graeme, Torstein, Frank, Ilaria, Gavin James, Gavin, Osama, Emma, Elodie, Tim, Hann...

For the volunteer meeting i think it could be good to keep the first sunday of the month at 5pm. next dates would be:
11 october (well, tove, stephen, i, ilaria and others are on holdiday the first sunday)
1 november
6 december

Deer Volunteers
The next volunteer meeting is going to be next Sunday, 6 September at 5pm in Hall upstairs.
Do you have anything you would like to discuss except the experience of the Festival craziness at the Forest? Please write your ideas/suggestions here!
See you on Sunday

The simple "volunteer" sounds cool, it's worth a try i think, will take care of it. But what is more urgent right now: we don't have a night manager for today . On the rota in the Action Room there is no Events Manager and nobody signed up for a shift till 3am tonight yet. PLEASE , everybody who rea...

Hi there I think it could be good to have a mid-festival volunteer meeting sometime soon. It's supposed to be an opportunity to exchange our experience with the craziness in the café these days, to check if everyone is still alive and happy etc... Since in the afternoons and early evenings the café ...

Usually it's open from 2-5pm an Sundays. Would be wonderful if you do it!

Volunteer coordinator meeting 21/7/09 in the shop Who was there: Hannah, Stephen, Yas, Tove Agandapoints: - How to introduce new volunteers in the cafe - Volunteerboard - The volunteermeeting - Volunteeraganda and Volunteerphonebook - Applicationforms - Festival rota So, we have now started to show ...

I would like to add one topic to the agenda of the Behind the Scenes Meeting: We had the idea to open a box office in the shop that could attract people to come into the Forest's shop and buy the stock. Furthermore the Forest would get some comission from the ticket sale. I have already spoken to Th...

Yeah, I know we need posters. I made one already and have got it on my computer, the only problem is that the printers don't work. I'll probably be able to print tomorrow finally. But please tell as many volunteers as possible about the party!

Emma, you don't need to worry, I'm up to date and check the BB regularly...

Hej, let's find a new date for the vollie meeting, because "postponed is not abadoned"!
I'm one of the new evs and one part of my personal project is the volunteer coordinator. so i'd really like to hear what you guys have to say...

Cheers, Hannah

Sorry for the confusion, i was using julie's computer and forgot to login to my account...

Hello everyone, I'm Hannah, the other new EVS. Well, I would just like to hear your opinion on two things concerning our vollie-party: 1) Do you think it would be good to make it an byob-party or do you prefer to pay a fixed price and get drinks then? 2) What do you think about a buffet with interna...
