I'm going to Bring this back into discuss,
I disagree with membership being use as an issue here. Someone not being
a paying member is not a concern I have over decision making in 57north.
However the spending we do has to aligned with to forwarding 57north is,
I would ague that these stickers are really for Scotcon, where there is
an overlap and raises the profile of 57north in the national and
international community.

Hi Vishnee,
I am taking this email chain out of the discussion mailing list.
We are appreciative of your work putting into designing stickers,
however there are some serious concerns about your request. Some have
already been raised by other directors of 57North.
We are a community led organisation, and do not have the budget to spend
£320 on stickers. If it were to be £100 or so, that would be different
story.
Our source of income is generated through membership fees, and we want
to ensure the money is not spend on a folly of one or two of the
members, but rather have a meaningful contribution to the community.
Without knowing the actual designs of your stickers, we do not have
sufficient information to assess whether your stickers are a folly or
benefit the hackerspace members. Looking at the file names, my
observation is they are for your folly, i.e. social centre activity, but
I am happy to be corrected.
Another point of concern is that you are not a paying member. While you
are free to make suggestions to the space, we are free to ignore them.
On this occasion we have given it consideration, and not deemed it
worthwhile for our cause. If you were a paying member, you would be
having more say in our spends, but not at this time.
If you have any queries on our decision making, I would encourage you to
become a paying member and raise them queries at the AGM.
Best regards,
Wouter

Sheet stickers are not durable though. They might be cheap, but that's
why they are cheap. Like the small Gary ones that are still having
around.
Looking for vinyl or PVC sticklers, the cheapest I found were those
from
https://www.stickermarket.co.uk/
If you can find some for similar quality, you welcome to search for it.
Took some stickers off the list and Midder is happy to pay £120, so
that
would make the whole amount for hacklab for just over £320 (see
screenshot).
cheers,

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
<https://scottishconsulate.org/33c3/planning> which mentions 500
stickers for £20. Looking at the website it mentions,
digitalprinting.co.uk <http://digitalprinting.co.uk>
<http://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.
The email thread from last January is at...
https://lists.57north.org.uk/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/57north-discuss@lists…
<https://lists.57north.org.uk/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/57north-discuss@lists.57north.org.uk/thread/VYOPSMYSOGWY6DNF3BWKKUQPOFAEHJTR/>
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.
