+3: will complete after meeting on 05/06
+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.
+
+6a: Flat rental figures all in - see drop box folder in Affordability group.
+7b: Wedding planning going well - IT an issue but we can work with what we
+have - Emma & Andy aware when they booked what the MH provided
+8a: quaker (old pw) and quaker-office (new, staff-only)
+(8b: still getting 'mail undelivered' in the spam folder on office@ )
+9b: GSM dialler was brought for install but the wrong sort, so still
+awaiting installation
+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
