Hiya

Who was the sticker printing with & how many of each of the 9 stickers would that be? 

Last time I got stickers done, which was a few years ago, I used FMG down in Brighton. I'd used them for stationery, flyers and cards before.  Looking at their website they've got loads of options, but you can buy 100 sheets of A4 stickers for £192. Depending how big the stickers were, but could probably get 4 sets of 9 on an A4 sheet, so that'd be 400 x 9 stickers.

I was wondering what we did before, and if we wrote it down, all I could find was from 2016, on https://scottishconsulate.org/33c3/planning which mentions 500 stickers for £20.  Looking at the website it mentions, digitalprinting.co.uk there are a lot of options, but, for example, it looks like you can get 100 sheets, with 48 stickers per sheet for £16.

Not sure what exactly we can afford, but there might be more cost effective options. 

I'm happy to help with preparing design files for printing, done a fair bit of that before in a past life.

Looking back through things, the last 3 figure expenditure (aside from rent) that was discussed, was the proposal for a load of welding gear, which was £700-1000, but we decided we couldn't really afford that.

I think we're generally pretty cautious on spending hackspace funds, but I think that's kind of a fair responsibility to the membership, which is where the money comes from, at the end of the day.  Financials, expenditure and stuff will be things to go through at the AGM on (provisionally) the 18th of June.

Cheers
Andy

Hi,

£750 is far in excess of what the hackerspace can afford to spend on stickers. Please do not order anything without approval from the board.

Anything ordered before approval will not be reimbursed.
