Changing BOTLab registered address
MV to check with Penny whether it's OK to use BV Studios - if so, DFW will change the address with Companies House
Allocating roles to committee members (Delegating admin responsibilities Selection of Chair)
DW has compiled a list of admin roles in BOTLab - he's happy to keep doing treasurer job
MV happy to continue with event organising
Other committee: please put initials by tasks you would be interested in doing
And start doing them straight away!
Reviewing Hackspace insurance cover
expires 14 November 2013
DH would prefer an insurance policy specifically for voluntary groups - current policy describes other members as if they're “employees” of committee rather than fellow members!
MV chose insurance because he's got personal insurance from them and asked them specifically for our needs
DH: esp. important in light of interest from teenagers etc.
DH will find alternative options and compare with existing policy

35l box plan
Can order stuff delivered to BV Studios - couriers just ring the bell and we (or others) will let them in
But we think we should postpone actually setting this up until after the shelves are up!
A more general item: arrange a working weekend for space refurbishment!
DH: set a date first and then plan up to that! ~3 weeks time - DW will set up a doodle and rest of committee will encourage members to join in
Tasks include:
Paint area of bare floor
Build shelving units - need to fabricate some sort of metal joiner for “ends” of shelves and obtain wooden panels to go in them
Build bench along soldering iron wall (?)
Tip run
Sort “to hack” items
Need a budget for expenses
