reviewing the account[edit]

  • 650 rent + 120 charges = 770/month
  • We need 51,4 members to break even only with membership fees if we keep membership at 15euro.
  • Big dip when paying double rent >> now we lose about +-100 euro a month
  • Expenditure still needs to be explained in the analysis > please help if you can > ask Ugo

the financial situation going forward

  • We have a warchest of about a 1500
  • Long discussion about the membership fee
  • Average 100 euro income per month by the bar
  • 10 people pay 10, 16 pay 15 and 10 pay 20 or more
  • Around 35-40 members pay about 15 euros a month now > need +- 20 a month a member to break even
  • Proposition to break even with membership fees > vote on 25 normal, 15 "social" (to average out on +-20) = passed
  • TODO: Adjust the relevant WIKI page!

the new location[edit]

  • Proposal for a grand opening party (7th of nov) > GET INVOLVED .(it's just after lvrm.f-lat.org - so we get ppl from there ;) - do some publicity at source radio show at campus)...
  • layout
  • hugo proproses to move the trash away from the entrance
  • heating
  • the gass stove got inspected
  • one of the stoves is fixed.. the one in the back is unfixable
  • tom will talk to the owner about the broken one
  • we are not allowed to put extra stoves .... tom will talk to the owner about this
  • the owner will send someone to fix the toilet (tom is following up on this)
  • timeframe
  • We'll be here until May 2017 > need to take this into account | like petitioning some communes etc.
  • Created a mailing list with all the people in the building > might give good contact base for the future building because everybody's to leave at the same time.
  • issues with the parking lot youngsters
  • Contact stadswacht (the people with their purple uniforms).
    • tom asked not to do this to prevent escalating the situation
    • we saw police checking out the parking, so it looks like one of the neighbours already did this
  • ask to add lights
  • Contact Charleroi danse to discuss this (no one stepped up).
  • They haven't been there for a week, so we wait
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mosquito ? I actually also hear the damn noise, so bad idea, just joking because I have nothing to say/no way to interupt

new members: strategic plan[edit]

  • Involve communities relevant to the workshops e.g. blender
  • Be sexy for external groups to hold their events/workshops here > identify the strenghts and interest for people to get involved - what is HSBXL proposing?
  • What the space needs for each individual to want to pay more: Clean, accessible, tools, heating, outside people coming in easier, to get more encounters with interesting people, more raw material, metal bender, have more social events / laser cutter ( :) ) (a lot of people or ok with how it is)

laser cutter[edit]

  • Michael buys > mail sent
  • Discussion still to hold Who becomes the owner of the cutter.

other[edit]

  • changing the bank account (now argenta ... to ... KBC)
  • Done
  • rules on borrowing stuff from the space
  • Announce on the mailinglist and _certainly_ when it's the last tool of his kind for the sake of transparency
  • Board should be more proactive towards doing meetings on TechTuesdays
