106 Food Coop Meeting and Eating 13/01/2010

in attendance Dan/Noam/Joe/Katja/Michal/Marta

Summary of Actions Points from the minutes below:

Discussion points:

Orders

Discussed what, who and how. Noam, Joe, Dan and Katja have done some work already and agreed to get the order list finished as soon as possible and be slightly less perfectionist. A date for fresh and dried food orders was suggested and set to Monday 25th January 2010. Threw the dice and decided to make the first order with Suma. Noam suggested that we can use his bank account and that we can all pay him when we know the cost of the first order.

Action Points: Katja, Noam and Dan to get together on Monday to get the food order list done.

Katja – to do some food list work during the weekend.

Joe will contact Suma to clarify what we need to be able to order (individual bank account..?).

Storage

Decided to use fridges for fresh food storage to begin with until we have decided on alternatives.

Action Points: Dan and Joe – trip to town to collect storage/eat sweets on Friday.

Joe to email the council about storage.

Everyone: Once we have ordered, we will need to measure the kitchen shelves, buy some storage units from poundshops in Lewisham and contact Paz if he would have any storage units to give away.

Discussed jobs and what these would involve – updated the job descriptions to crabgrass.

Noam agreed to be responsible for Money.
