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.

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.

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.

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
