Still waiting to hear more details about the possible sParkIT popup repair café.

TBC when @johnmckerrell has the created the financial report for this month. However, we're generally doing okay.

Promotion

Al Jazerra are visiting tomorrow to interview JP and AMc, for a piece about how Liverpool creatives are dealing with the pandemic.

AOB

Table saw. It needs commissioning; would be a red class of device and so we need to ensure that it's fitted with its riving knife and guard, and requires an induction first.

Mitre saw. Similarly needs commissioning so that it can be used safely.

Most of the parts for Tony (the Tremendously Large Laser-cutter) are now here. SJ is chipping away at the work for it, and suggested we get an RCCD isolating breaker for it too.
