Incident review

None reported.

Proposals

Committee sanity check: Passed unanimously. On to members meeting.

Membership agreement/code of conduct

• NG has passed on to rest of committee. MG has made major changes to structure.
• IAS, RC and TS have had opportunity to make changes.
• MG wants to make more changes in time for AGM.
• Open to committee editing until we give notice for AGM.

Laser billing update

• IAS: ~£1,000 paid so far. Some members paying by installment. NG has kept a record of payments. IAS to use this data to prepare new invoices. New invoices to be sent out before Christmas.
• NG: Can we set terms for payment? Time limit?
• IAS: 30 days from invoice date.

Lathe & CNC mill update

• RC: Lathe now in G10. Some issues from suppliers. Still outstanding a 4 jaw chuck, suppliers have taken tailstock away for repair. Lathe needs moving.
• Jonny T, RC and MG have discussed CNC mill and made a list of work required. JT has bought new components. Need to physically separate mains power and water. Need to organise a date to do the work, waiting for JT to suggest a date when he can lead.

G10 Rearrange feedback

• MG: Lots of member engagement. Bigger task than G11. Have freed up a lot of space and got rid of lots of junk. Not complete yet. Workbench still being completed by Toby Scott. Still need to call another works day/weekend to finish it off, especially aiding Toby Scott.
• MG to pick date and TS will send out Mailchimp mailshot.
• NG requests receipts to repay expenses.
• Committee gives thanks to MG and all members involved.

Chemical cupboard review
