  • AM to arrange meeting with Colin Dyas
    • RESOLVED - AM has met Colin, has considered options which will be discussed later.
• Financials
• Financials good, we have enough money in the bank, making enough "profit" each money to afford a new room.
• Expanding
• Moving out of Gostins seems too long term, there's no compelling reason to do so right now.
• We'll take room 14, talk to Gostins about fixing window, put off doing electronic doors for first few months. Use space as new ad-hoc space for overflow/quiet room. Use for events too if we can arrange desk and tables ok.
