ACTION: MS to move forward with carpet (PY and JK)

HST report

 * [missing/broken items] -- consumables were often missing; loo roll
   didn't arrive until 15/8, soap often missing.  Use our suppliers
   next time: fits with ethos, fits our containers.  E.g. one Sunday
   when no loo roll in any of the loos.

 * Paper hand towels?  We didn't this time, worked OK?  Probably some
   use of loo roll for drying

 * Start and end of day procedures -- define/clarify, who's
   responsible for what.  E.g. turning _on_ the emergency lighting is
   our job.

 * WHo repairs things?  We do a daily inspection and fix things/bill
   for getting them fixed

 * If there are things we are now going to do, we will have to charge
   for that, not clear how e.g. lump sum vs. timeshet.

 * WiFi - This impacted our own ability to do our own work, because of
   low bandwidth and/or 'no internet'

 * Kitchen - Not our cleaners job, did CV expect it? MEK cleaned it
   from time to time: sweeping and wiping surfaces.  Performers in
   there?  Gap(s) in the licence.  Food out, so mice flourished.
   Fridge available?  "You have to name and date your food, or we'll
   through it away".  Buckets left with dirty water in.

   Leave less cutlery/plates etc. out for them

   Use as an office made cleaning difficult - should clear away each night?

 * Emptying bin bags, agreeing about triage (recyclable/food
   waste/rubbish).  Do we have to be responsible for all this so it
   can be done as we would like.

 * Weekend cleaning is necessary, we did some cleaning on Sunday
   and/or Monday morning (kitchen, loos, loo seats in particular).

 * We need to spend more time up front preparing the building

 * Emergency lights can't be completely covered, dimmed is OK

 * Contact person, who is on site most of most days, for niggles
   (E.g. shoes in the kitchen :-) (continuity)

 * Staffing level in general

 * Poster mount scarring

 * More pictures in advance...

 * Staples in the poster boards

 * Discount for 4F wrt shower

 * One negative comment about the Sunday meeting space (HST disagreed)

 * As an ethical workplace, how do we feel about the way CVenue treats
   their staff, both volunteer and paid?

 * Sundays have gone well  (Wednesdays worked well, bar steps for Tony
   Peach and Margaret Anderson and someone else with limited mobility).

Do this again?

  KL -- more 'unexpected work' than 'unpleasant'

  EG -- The annoying things could be sorted in the agreement, including
        a process for things that are still unclear (e.g. the toilet
        leak)

  MS -- Niggles rather than disasters.  Worth looking for
        alternatives, e.g. Greenside, before committing to CArts,
        bearing in mind that they would have _their_ teething problems

ACTION: HST to get their (local) network guy's contact details from Hartley

ACTION: KL to scan and distribute missing/broken items list

ACTION: HST to figure out how to address the need for a regular MEK -
        MCMember meeting with a schedule that has no full MEK overlap time in
        it.

Clarification wrt casual staffing:  Ellie is _not_ happy about evening
or saturday working, and MEK are covering a lot of evening/Saturday
shifts.

Keith Gunn to go ahead with new cable trays.

MS has renewed Giffgaff contract

Ian Wilson will be visiting some time soon

HST: To check the state of the T&C redo by Trustees.

HST: To go through MHMC on listing on sites that charge a premium
