 * Academics doing work on Marxist / anarchist theory to do a series of seminars in October.


 * Conflict Resolution- anyone who can do a workshop? No takers.


 * Gig proposal. ‘Free party’ Any profit split between the unfortunate people who were burgled during ShefStock and a worthy political cause.


 * Everyone invited to Brambles party on 24th Sep. Keep things away from this date?


 * ‘Kabal’ party- run many successful parties, wish to run one at Matilda. 50p or a pound per head. But this is negotiable. Invite him to one of our Thursday socials to discuss further.


 * Dissent gathering on 14th, 15th and 16th October. This clashes with doc film fest + magical mystery tour, but is this a problem? Organizers of these events to discuss this together.

Updates


 * A blueprint has been finalised for ‘how to run a party at Matilda’


 * Basement is progressing. Gig collective now have meetings- 7pm Monday just before main meeting.


 * Hacklab now has computers and sofas! Just needs to be hooked up. More members wanted to join hacklab collective.


 * Mural design ready on paper.


 * Kitchen collective are going to start moving kitchen upstairs. This Wednesday at 10 to be precise. Call out for more help. And resources- cupboards, fridge. Café meeting soon.

Other Things


 * Gig collective speaks: A space which promotes DIY activities. Looking for consensus. Suggestion that one member of gig collective goes along to legal-long term future meetings to aid communication. People are genuinely behind the DIY ethic but concerns are raised about long-term future of building. Consensus about keeping DIY principles is reached. If the building does get into crisis point- we do our own fundraising.


 * Proposal was made on list for fundraising collective..


 * Electricity bill. We will get one. Do we have money to pay it? LTT says we will need some money in front of us for the future.


 * Bank account will be set up. D will do this, with LTT and J as other signatories.


 * Someone raises concern that these signatories do not represent the diversity of the group (D and J are ‘professionals’ This makes it easier for paperwork?) J is added.


 * Constitution may be needed for bank account.


 * Basement murals. Art collective had proposed murals 4 basement but gig collective didn’t realise this before. There has been a break up in communication. Art Collective could use another wall (e.g. café wall) instead


 * Collective’s transparency is emphasized: meetings should be minute to prevent the above happening again.


 * Someone should put a page on the wiki regards resources.


 * Proposal that people using an art studio should have a key. Only one (S’s studio) at the moment. Meeting consensus.


 * We should get something on the wall in the main room which tells people what rooms are in use at particular times. People r doing this tomorrow.


 * Proposal for an overlooking maintenance / infrastructure group. Some people volunteer to do this.

Meeting closes.
