We have about 10k in the bank account at the moment. 5k of that is for running cost. Buying acrylic- should we postpone it for a later time? Aaron says he might be getting some acrylic in the near future. Luke propose to postpone. Seconded by Brendan Hall.

Gas bottle was removed and we need to pay for it. We have to keep paying for the rental or pay it off. $30 a month or $770 for the buy out. Buzz asks if there are people who could approach Sean to try and get our bottle back. 3 people have put their hand up to chase him down for the bottle. Vote to postpone $770 vote For: 15 Against: 1

ESR Meter- Blair tells us that it will test any 2 or 3 pin components and will help to test a lot of things at the space. Brendan Hall thinks it will be good for people new to electronics. Nog wants Blair to document how to use it as a proviso of us buying it. Blair agrees. Timeka will donate a jiffy case to protect it. vote For: 17 Against: 0
