So, people of the Forest, perhaps we are in a position to consider new moves...??
Thanks to the money gathered the Forest is not right now bankrupt. We can conclude that we can definitely change things when we put our minds down to it and join energies... ;o) !!! Hurray!
We have an amazing building with tons of spaces and facilities: hall, crafty room, art gallery, cave, dark room, screen printing, etc, etc, etc. ... We should be having a full house all the time but in reality at present they have a... what, 20% usage most of them, maybe?
What is preventing an 80% ?. Well it seems to be the (oh, not again



I wonder, could we have some sort of GENERAL MEETING TO TACKLE THIS ??
I suppose the solution to this problem would have to happen in 2 ways:
1) get someone to do daily cleaning
PLUS
2) make changes in the design of the toilets, i.e. turn them into something that tends to look clean 'per se':
-tiles on floor and walls
- or, at least, floor and walls painted in colours that scream out: clean! (combination of 2 simple colours: typical turquoise and white ; black and white; red and white..) (as it is, even on a good day, when it has just been cleaned, it looks quite smudgy... )
And how do we achieve it?
1) Pay someone to do it. £5 per day are £5 very well spent... and essential
2) - Maybe we could search for 'grants' towards 'building improvement'?
- or ask around tile makers/sellers for donations?
- run another fundraising event to get that money?
(of course, once we've managed to have a permanent full house we might need to consider expanding the toilet facilities... but that is a bigger bridge to cross in some future... ) By that time we would be mighty and powerful and we could tackle the toilet problems of the whole of Edinburgh....

Anyhow, as that young doctor wrote in a clinical report: "with our vision into the future and pushing forward and moving upwards we might get this patient to take his medicine......"
