Presidents Report

Landlords are trying to push more costs onto us. We are collaborating with team arrow and men’s shed which has gone up substantially. Water charges primarily consists of access charges, not usage.

The building has been assessed by the landlord and they may be looking at passing on costs to us to bring the building up to code.

The landlord will produce a hazard report, essentially a WHS audit.

From 4pm on Sunday the 18th the carpark is being used for an event. Members to avoid the site during this period.

Lease discussions still with their lawyer. will receive 2023

Woodshop

Working on dust collection system. 80% of blast gates have been changed with new ones. They have been quite reliable. Automation should be deployed by the end of the year.

Let Ale know if you need an induction for a machine ahead of time as he currently has car issues.

Attend the Monday woodshop team gathering night if you’re interested in engaging in volunteering.

Forge

Alex was away most of the last month. Fraser ran the forge team meeting.

Everyone has been keeping up with their duties.

Fraser is making progress on the small stock shelving making it easier to keep it orgaised.

Up to 4 forging hammers that have been made over the past few months. Going to start branching out tool manufacturing.

Next meeting is this Sunday morning.

Forge area is functional, but could always find jobs for more volunteers.

Craftpunk

Needs help with plumbing to install a sink. Sink was received for free and collected by Kyia.

Sublimation printer has had a new member inducted.

A new volunteer has volunteered to look after the sublimation printer.

Still in need of volunteers and better engagement with volunteers.

Mechanical

Sandblaster cabinet has been installed. Wiki page needs to be written. Might make sense to transfer the tool to metalshop ownership.

Mechanical area has had good use. Need to get feedback on what to add to the area to improve functionality to members.

Update on progress of each action item from previous meeting

General Business

Update on lounge and consoles

Consoles in front cabinets have been removed. Old consoles will be emulated on the Pi.

Dr Pepper, multiple Fanta flavours added that will be distributed at random.

We need people to help out with infrastructure. Please contact the executive or committee to help.

Skills in linux servers, docker and python are highly needed.

We have home automation tasks that we need help with.

Other

Vending machines have been moved. We have room in the foyer and need to think about how to make that an attractive area for new members. Current idea it to make it a showcase area/museum.

Looking to convert current digifab room into a store where you can buy tooling, consumables, sheet materials, sublimation supplies, etc.

Looking for help to set up the store and run it.

Likely to be a good revenue source.
