A post was merged into an existing topic: Winter festival makerspace party early December?

Bumpity bump!

@Ana_Nieto @StudioNelle @SarahJ @pip met with other comers-and-goers after the member’s meeting to make a plan and delegate tasks.

This is a for-members party. Non-members are welcome, but we won’t be advertising. This means we can try and attract peripheral members with introductions to the space / tools as well as do fun things ourselves. And we don’t need to market for new members given recent sign-up rates!

The party needs to be announced.

  • Poster in space
  • Animated GIF for social media
  • Email newsletter to members
  • Update thread with sign-ups
  • Info
    • Family time 3-6
    • Food at 6
    • Extra rations of punch from then on
    • ?

The party needs kit.

The space needs to be ready

  • Clear stuff out of the clean room
    • Architects board etc.
  • Perhaps just buy some electronics benches to have things stashed away properly by then?

The party needs provisions.

Activities

  • Photobooth
  • Secret maker
    • What to do for people who didn’t sign up? Pass the parcel charity tat?
  • Make christmas tree, e.g. this
    • White corrogated cardboard, e.g. this
    • Laser cutter drawing
      • Toby has a good wooden design that could be cloned
      • Chanelle offered
    • decorations
  • Decorate jumper / bobble hat
    • craft supplies
    • Christmas charity tat
  • Electronics thing
  • Giant Jenga @StudioNelle
    • using offcuts pile

To resolve

  • How to do something cool with @Beth’s dragon
  • A not to be taken too seriously competition
    • ie. cake
    • ie. christmas tree decoration
    • ie. namebadge
  • What induction-y thing can we do
    • useful and attractive to peripheral members
    • or even for not peripheral members who i.e. haven’t got into wood workshop yet
    • demo of a cool thing beying made?
  • Info to make poster etc. with

@Ana_Nieto This might be useful if you still want to do the animated gif

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1a1coz5z5gy86kw/christmas%20makerspace%20star%20doodle.mov?dl=0

I have put a box of hat and jumper trimmings & decorations in the snug next to the present shelf. We still need

Needles big enough to thread with wool
Green felt
More sparkly stuff.

If anyone has any of those things please bring them along. And if you want to, don’t forget to bring a plain hat or jumper or some kind of garment to decorate!

FYI: The address has a spelling mistake in it.

I’d like to come to the Christmas party but not worked out how to add my name to the list. Thanks, Iain

Hi Iain, great!

Just click on the poorly rendered ‘little green pencil and square’ icon in the top right of the original post to edit the wiki.

I have the needles, and I may have the green felt will check and confirm tomorrow.

Thanks, I’ll try it

I’m not sure I was completely successful. I may have added +1 to the last name on the list. I tried again and my name is there now. Cheers

i’ve fixed your entry @Iain

Courty

Coo. Indeed. That was a bit I hadn’t changed from some older poster I took as template.

The Calendar item is showing up a bit weirdly on the homepage - looks like an electronics night with a strange name…

Tried to update it in the calendar, but doesn’t seem to have refreshed.

Me too. Having just been granted the access I made the calendar entry to be the same as the mailshot / blog etc.

Looks great now!

my issues might be because I tried to edit it in iCal, which seems only to bother syncing once in a blue moon.
