That is excellent. I especially like this bit:

If you think you cannot keep these rules or don't agree with these rules then the Forest is not the place for you. Please go somewhere else.

beev

Yes, I think this poster is probably better than the Burroughs one because it is simple and gets to the point. The Forest reserves the right to barr anyone for any reason without need for explanation or discussion. I also thought this a bit questionable, but it is standard at many places like pubs a...

Smooth move Dai!

PBF is great.

I had a plan for the laundry. It involved a couple of these:

Maybe £20 is a lot to spend, but a simple solution to an ancient problem.

Let me know if I should pick a couple up.

This thread started with Dave Eggars, and I just finished his latest: What is the What I don't know who put this in my pigeon hole. Obviously someone who knows me, or else a mental coincidence since I'm fascinated by the craziness of war in Sudan. Anyway this book is about the journey of a refugee f...

I think whatever we put out, it should all get rolled into one. Events, wg meetings, major shifts that need filling, buildings days etc - it could all be in one message sent out no more than once a week.

beev

How does it work with the volunteer centre? Can somebody pass on the details?

I think we should facebook it, but I also think I'm contradicting myself now.

beev

I dig what James is saying about the forest speaks. And yes, facebook's main redeeming factor is that you can play scrabble with people. I don't think we should use facebook to promote events, except for the very occasional one-off mega event. Weekly events listings get promoted on the website, bb, ...

What are we doing with the old photocopier? We still pay about £600 a year for maintenance and ink/toner etc. Do we wanna cancel that?

beev

Does anyone else think there are too many messages coming from the forest through facebook? I recently stopped taking the messages from the forest speaks because it is this constant dribble of notices that are just repeats from the bb and I spent far too much time deleting them from my email. Now th...

Can someone who has the power please send this out on the forest speaks? Ta! WANTED: TREASURER The forest needs a new treasurer. Would be good to find someone who knows about accounting/tax etc, but anyone who is willing will be considered. You need to be dedicated and reliable, strong of heart and ...

Hi, would v.much appreciate if someone could post this on the website please. Cheers ta!

280 sq ft is just the size of the floor (or the ceiling). More measuring will be required if the walls are to be done as well.

Depends. If you have details, bring them to fwg meeting.

Does there really have to be an entire month of christmas films? Do you not think forest should oppose the stretching of a simple winter feast into a lengthening orgy of trite, strained, insincere crap? I would agree with this. But Bad Santa is a treat! Martin, you should be able to activate your h...

I'm in favor of chaining. But are there times when the kit needs to be moved? Or not really?

The alternative is to have it on a platform which can be raised towards the ceiling when not in use.

So where is this fabled avatar, your peacefulness?

words and music?

I can help with installing ubuntu on the comps, though I may need some guidance to begin with.

Making proper dishes requires a bit more skill than sandwiches and will put more responsibility on kms to make sure its done reasonably well. Not that I'm against it, it's quite a good idea. Also, if we are moving to being a cooking kitchen, we may need to consider a new license as our current one i...

We still have our laptop which Graeme got for us form Standard Life. This can be the vollie internet/bb sign up computer if we can get it accessible somewhere near the kitchen like behind the decks. Of course it will need to be chained up or firmly bolted down or whatever. Listening station (desktop...

Sounds like there is a lot to do, even if the gold room has to wait another month...

Let's just keep our eyes and ears peeled for a decent electronic system that can solve all our problems and won't cost a fortune. In the meantime, we do what we normally do.

beev

Building a shelf above it would probably be good!

beev

More spikes! It's not a clever place to put stuff anyway. The glass curves away and things are likely to fall. Besides, we never put things on it before

beev

I think the exploding was a one-off freak event. They wouldn't be able to sell these things if it was in any way a common thing. One thing to remember is that glass can respond in crazy ways when exposed to changes of temperature, especially if the change is localised and not affecting the whole of ...

beev

We should get a new one put spikes on it so people can't lean.

beev

It's a good poster, though, apart form that wee slip.

Yes, I've been trying to get us one of these. But there are complications. Privacy issues.

Outside computers is a genius idea, but how long before the police force us to end it because people keep leaving mucky images on display and some old lady or religious nut complains? Also there will likely be people (the worst kind) camping out all night to use them, and quite possibly fights over ...

Agree with this. I hate keys!

And we have spent loads on getting new keys cut over the years, especially recently. RFID system would rock! Just search rfid on ebay. By 2013, we could get them implanted in our heads...

I also like Laura's ideas a lot. And I also think if the space was furniture free it would provide a place to put furniture from the main room on busy nights, when it can seem like there is too much. The free shop has been expanded and improved recently. But there is def potential for making more of...

Compostible waste going to landfill is a problem. It does not biodegrade in the desired way, but instead reacts with the other landfill stuff and ends up producing shitloads of methane. It also leads to the production of a liquid called leachate, which can contaminate water supplies. So landfill is ...

Maybe leave it for now in case there is a change of plan. I could make the forum disappear for the time being. Current cave usage info should be posted anew in the cave wg forum. Yes?

beev

Can do. And change the blurb in the cave forum. Should it all be merged with the cave wg forum?

Uninstallation is complex and poses a risk to stability. Better to leave it in place, methinks.

Ryan, we didn't set a time for filing cabinet sorting. I may not be free till next month. I'll get my people to talk to your people...

We could use an old-fashioned key lock and make people pay a £10-20 deposit for the key.

Also, a camera could be considered for rooting out thieves and litterbugs. May sound a bit extreme, but it seems to have worked in the gallery, and no genuine privacy concerns have surfaced so far.

beev

We should definitely be spiders.

I'm sorry, Bill reckons he can't make it this week. I can't move it without some sort of van. I'm also a bit short of time, though I may have some on Friday avo to de- and re-construct it if transport is available...

beev

Ok, so I should try to shift it up before the weekend? I need Bill & his van for that....

Dan is also after it, so it can go to him if forest doesn't want to keep it.
