Friday 13 - Saturday 14 December

So far we have held gatherings/hacks only on week days, curious to see how it pans out if we do some work on Saturday. Would more people be able to make it?

Food, Glorious Food! Closed Fri 8 Nov 2019 11:01AM

During October's call a suggestion was made to cater lunch and/or dinner ourselves, using the Star & Shadow kitchen. Of course this will require volunteers, and a point was raised that this might take people away from their working groups

You can select multiple options and add new ones

I have volunteered and I would be happy in a kitchen (any time, really :) but i am also voting "I think we should order food in" with a stronger preference, because I think especially for people who are travelling to Newcastle it's quite a stretch, and if they need to save their energy for the conferency stuff that would be fair enough. Also consider the amount of people required in the kitchen it's got to be a ratio of about, what, 1:4 ? If so, around a quarter of the attenders, it's a lot...

Perhaps we could cover (at least some) food expenses from CoTech Fund? We could set up a separate vote for that... Btw. is there an estimate of how many people are coming?

Reimburse Code-Operative for gathering costs Closed Tue 14 Jan 2020 8:03AM

It was suggested by a few people that we could apply to CoTech for reimbursement on the costs of the gathering

Most of the expenses were covered by the ticket sales and a generous donation of £150.00 from Form & Function (https://www.formandfunction.coop) who couldn't attend the gathering. The remaining amount which we're asking to be refunded is £217.00

The total costs of the gathering came to
£880 venue hire + lunches (star & shadow co-op)
£200 band (expenses - they came up from Leeds but didn't charge us)
£187 booze
-----------------
£1,267 expenses

the income was
£900 ticket sales
£150 donation
----------------
£1,050

The process for proposing fund spending can be found on the wiki

If anyone's against this there's no hard feelings, we were expecting to top up anything which ticket sales didn't cover when we agreed to do it
