3. decorating
4. equipment
5. cleaning

7. next meeting first Friday in January.

1. agreed that an internet booking system would be much better, concerns over block booking and bands being too noisy were voiced. various things were decided:
* peak (6pm- midnight) and off peak time zones will be created.
* different prices peak=£8ph, off=£5ph.
* these will be the new prices from jan 1st.
* block booking only possible for off peak.
* established teamsters will geta certain amount of free use, we need to think about how much etc. but something along the lines of lots of off peak or a little peak...
* computer system would be good, but will need to be easily controllable.
* new cave users will have to come to a working group meeting first (if this isnt possible they must arrange a meeting with a teamster in the working group)

2. sound of cave getting into main room is a problem. additional sound proofing must be investigated. Chris to investigate

3. gareth and danny will consider redecorating the cave

4. gareth and pete will take an inventory of all the equipment and clearly label everything. Chris will email robin asking him for a list of all forest equipment and if he knows who some of the random stuff belongs to (ie. the white drum kit and the laney bass amp)

5. pete gareth and danny(?) will all pop in from time to time to throw out rubbish, tidy up and vacuum.
