4: Fringe Society visited re office space planning; no money yet received;
   FS accessibility visit next week
From David Sterratt:

  We finalised the contract with the Fringe Society and both parties have
  signed it. Regarding the issues raised in the last minutes: (1) We
  agreed that the Fringe Society will have use of the meeting room from
  1pm on a Sunday and that meeting house staff will be using the kitchen
  up until 1.30pm. Friends will need to start departing at 12.45pm. (2)
  The Fringe Society were content with the liberalised media clause we
  proposed. (3) The Fringe Society did not, after all, want to use our AV
  system. 

  We have liaised with the Fringe about operational details including
  moving the furniture and internet/Wifi connectivity. The conversation
  with the Fringe networking staff has led to us contacting User2
  computing and learning how to administer the Wifi access points, which
  has allowed us to set up a private network for the office and foyer
  computers. However, the admin interface is set up on David Sterratt's
  computer, and it may be desirable to install it on a meeting house
  computer. 

  David Sterratt and Miranda have agreed with David Clarke and other
  Friends attending 9.30 meeting that it will not be held in the meeting
  house during the Fringe, but it can still be held on Zoom.

     2) Shift in Majk's role and hours
     Two new casual staff
     Taken together free MG to do BizDev.
     Ken's Sunday?
     On a good day, I like Richard sometimes, but not always, clients
     like him; liking people is not a requirement, but he's not a good
     fit for the Team

     *A*) We ask Trustees to agree to the creation of a new  permanent
          part-time MH Assistant job starting in September, to be
          advertised widely.
           
     *B*)  We will not ask Trustees to agree for Richard and Lauren to
           remain in the flat after 31 July.

     ACTION: HT to tell R&L that they have to vacate.

     ACTION: HT to ask DS for time at the next AG meeting (26 June 1200)
            for an informal chat with members of the MHC to discuss the
            flat(s).

6b: Flat rental figures all in - see drop box folder in Affordability group.
7a: HT report
7b: Wedding planning going well
    Over-catered, but fridge issue sorted, photographer will come early
    - IT an issue but we can work with what we
    have - Emma & Andy aware when they booked what the MH provided
    Additional purchase not required, MG does not recommend it for AM
    Numbers?  80/90 from outside invitees, not much feedback from
    local Friends, so probably 100+
8a: quaker (old pw) and quaker-office (new, staff-only)
    (8b: still getting 'mail undelivered' in the spam folder on office@ )
9b: Carpets postponed to September, MG to send quotes to JN.
    GSM dialler installed 6/6, voicemail issue to be resolved, _not_
    at risk from end of voice connnectivity
9c: Nothing to report
9d: no decision on carpets - impact of building changes / cafe could change
decision to be made
9e: no response from either firm - too busy or job too small - will develop
my own alternatives
