\\
  * **Top Comments From Members**\\
  * Universal agreement that workspace in G10 is inadequate.
  * G10 looking unkempt.

  * Laser positioned inefficiently. 
  * Danger of rotating machinery ejecting a chuck key (Chuck key lockout system already in process by lathe team.)

**AOB**\\
It was noted by Joe D that there was a selection of small hand tools missing from G11. This observation was backed up by several other members. A wire stripper and a number of glue guns were of particular interest. Discussion did not indicate any suggestion that this was natural shrinkage ie breakage (and binned), loss, or theft.\\
Solution: Simply replace 'missing' tools and other small pieces of equipment.\\
Solution: Proposal system to be used for replacement.\\
