Hi all On Tuesday, the board met and voted [1] to start our move to the Kettock Lodge Bridge of Don location [2]. We plan to use October as an overlap month, with access to both spaces whilst we move over.
Strategy The current move strategy is to arrange for seating, tables and wifi in the new space locations as soon as possible, arranging and unboxing other items after. Items for trashing will be left behind and disposed of in a separate effort. When exactly? To get a good start, we are arranging for the first physical kit move to begin this Saturday (28th) using two vans, a standard Transit and small Transit Connect, over a couple of runs. We will arrange follow-up moving rounds after this first one as needed. Anyone who is able to volunteer for this round should confirm via the discuss list; we'd need people at both locations, so please email discuss if you could use a lift. ETA for Sat volunteers at the old location is approx. 10am. ETA for Sat volunteers at new location is 1pm, as the first van-run arrives. If you cannot make this weekend but still like to be a part of the physical move, we'll likely announce further moves. It is also expected that there will be a few sorting evenings at the new location once items are moved. Unlike over moves, we have a fair bit of open space we can use to sort things out. We hope be able to confirm an official place-of-business change over date after the weekend. Coordination Friday evening and Saturday morning have been suggested as times to sort the space to get it ready for transport. I suggest that the vehicle drivers (or those they delegate to) take the lead in deciding what goes into vans on Sat, as they'll know how much they can move at once. Beyond that, we are looking to put as many things into labelled boxes as possible which those attending can collaborate on. We have some folded boxes already but if anyone has a source of strong boxes we can borrow or keep, do email in.
