Hi,
thanks for bringing the practicalities back Andy!
I've put the stickers from the sticker making session into the wiki with
a link on the page you created.
As a non member who can't decide on anything except their own
engagement, I'll leave this to members now to decide if and how to order
stickers for EMF.
Cheers,

Hi
Yea, fair enough bringing this back into discus, it's good to have an
open dialogue about these things.
To help us, as an organization, have a shared understanding of how money
is to be spent, I created a wiki page about it.
https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=admin:spending_money
<https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=admin:spending_money>
It's a wiki page, so amend and improve it as you see fit :)
I also created a stickers page, so we can share sticker designs, info on
suppliers and tips.
https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=projects:stickers
<https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=projects:stickers>
I think if we store sticker designs here, work won't be lost & they can
be reprinted in future.
I guess in practice, there are a few separate questions...
1) Do we have this money available to spend?
2) Do members think this is a good thing to spend money on?
More info on what is proposed would be handy, for example...
- What do the stickers look like?
- Where would they be bought from?
- How many of each?
...so some of this info would probably be useful to help with this
decision making, and would also mean others could offer help and input.
Thanks
Andy

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/ <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.

that.
