Hi guys, I left in August to start working as a technician in Cambridge Uni. I’d love to visit over the Christmas period when I’m back in London. Do you have anything planned that might be good to attend?
Cheers,
Will

Hey everyone, I’ve been exposed to COVID, but also am a bit run down due to so much events I’ve been to in the last few weeks.

There is a chance I won’t be great on Sunday, but will be clearer tomorrow/Saturday hopefully.

Is there someone who wants to take this on?

Could you set out what needs to be done, then maybe people can volunteer for specific tasks.

Before:

Call out for people to bring anything they want to drink from hot chocolates to mulled wine.

***People will also need TREATS (cakes, wholesome home-made snacks etc)

  • check there is enough charcoal for bbq in snug (if not, getting some charcoal)

  • accept a food delivery at the space I have lined up OR do shopping for round about 50-60£ (it does get a lot of stuff,nobody please worry about this)

  • keep the doors open from event start and welcome people

  • there might be a community task - last time it was clearing the space in front of the arch using shovels, gloves and bin bags … and then setting up tables. This time it would be making space indoors and being creative with ventilation and seating arrangements. Putting music on. Maybe there would be some activity to be done, that’s up to the creatives.

  • after event ends gather people to clean up and take responsibility for sorting rubbish and leaving the space clean and dishes in dishwasher

I can’t stay for the whole time, would anyone be in favour of scaling it down and doing from 13:30 to 16:30?
