• There are no general business issues to discuss

• Router table has been reported as broken - this will be investigated and addressed asap

• After the last general meeting a decision has been made on the allocation of funds
• The woodshop has approval to proceed with the sale of tools
• They will be posted on the HSBNE forum first, then eventually facebook marketplace and gumtree after the general membership has had a chance to purchase them

• The woodshop wants to get the panel saw approved on the capex sheet
• This requires updated qoutes from SCM and woodtech and the implementation plan (acquistion, installation, induction etc)
• Another option to be explored would be an upgrade to the mezzanine

• There is a spare workbench with a leg vice that is no longer being used by the woodshop and needs to be sold
• The woodshop team members through a show of hands have:

1) Unanimously agreed to sell the old workbench bench at a fair price, unless another team requests the workbench for their usage in their own space.

  2) The request for the bench should be presented within a month from when the proposal has been posted on forums.
  3) The sale of the bench will be posted on the forums via a proposal.
  4) The proceeds for the sale will go entrirely to the general funds of HSBNE 
  5) The woodshop will research a fair price for the workbench based on research from new and similar second items. This will be documented on the forum proposal.

• The next meeting will be 22/02/23 at 7:00 pm
