[57north-ctte] Deposit paid.

Yeah, good work. 

We need to get our current space tidied out - is it worth having a throwout/sell everything party this weekend or a weeknight or two next week? Perhaps a Monday/Tuesday so there are hands to help. 

We have some cruft we don't need to carry with us, and plenty stuff to pack away - is it worth going through that now to catalogue what we're moving and what we're chucking, or do we pack everything away, move it and then throw some of it out?
Once we know what sheena wants to keep, we can clear those out first, then move to packing and seeing what else we can get rid of. 

We definitely need to look at packing and moving stuff in the next 10-15 days.


In terms of designing the new space, Kev wants to go in to look at it to think about fitout/electrics, and Peter really wants to drop by to look at the fire doors.  There is a list on a pad [0], linked on the wiki in the timeline[1] about questions to think about next time someone is in there. Contributions are very welcome

Once Kev's been in, we can have a better idea of what the basic fitout is going to cost, start talking about fundrasing and then let Iain continue to talk about lights [2].

An email to the list regarding timescales and buildup activities is probably due. 
Regarding that, I've got a loose timescale on the wiki [1]. My idea was mostly that we get the base of a design & layout agreed by the end of this month, and build a required list of materials based on that. After me telling him his first effort was shit, Iain's made a decent go at it for lighting [2], so it shouldn't be too laborious.   
In June, we (buy and) build it up in stages on Tuesday/other nights, which are loosely detailed on the wiki. Ideally by being able to say "this week is electrical wiring wiring, we need this list of kit " we can collect hardware or financial donations to make it happen. It also avoids us collecting deposits **now** when we'll have to move them and lose them in the future.  

Alas, I am away every May weekend and for the entirety of June, so my assistance outside planning and coordination is limited!
