Attendees: Dayal, Karen, Kate, Friedrich, Dan, Elena

Apologies: David

• Updates
  • Karen: Council – risk assessment for tidy up sent, haven’t heard back from Council yet.
  • Updates on meeting with councillor Liam Carroll:
    • Liam to try to share a floor plan before survey results.
    • Citizens Advice need a new building.
    • TGCC to speak to Tony about May event.
    • Liam to speak to Amanda about September event.
  • Council’s new policy on Social Value Leases: They want to standardise, get rent and do maintenance. What does it mean for us? Should hear back from Council meeting by end of April.
• Association:
  • Fiscal hosting services, eg social change nest, avoids incorporating, but provides a lot of advantages.
  • Open collective fund – cf kickstarter, very transparent, provides a banking structure where people can contribute and your books are essentially public.
  • Plan
    • Figure out what FHS would entail, and be ready, but don’t act yet.
    • Look into Open Collective Fund
  • Bank account
    • We probably will want our own bank account for TGCC regardless, but if too hard to set up in time for London Mayor application could use FoTGP or other.
  • Membership
    • How do you become a member?
    • Dayal to update Constitution – DONE
  • Roles
    • Dayal nominated as secretary
    • Karen nominated as treasurer
• Insurance
  • Friedrich and Dan, on behalf of TGRG agree to provide insurance
  • Kick off insurance day before first event, which would be May event
  • Dan to follow up and look into insurance, starting with ones Karen has used for the park
  • If possible see if we can recoup money through funding
• Aside: Community ownership fund by Gov finished with 15M£ left, and may reappear. This is one of the few options out there.
• Access to garage – would be good to push for this. Could we clear ourselves?
• May event
  • We have access to yards
  • Getting for approval:
    • Try to send risk assessment immediately
    • Kate to share simpler examples
  • Backup plan: outside
  • First aid – everyone interested. Haven’t needed it in past for other events. Dan has recent CPR.
    • First aid kit. Useful for park too. Have one in park in litter pick box but old.
  • Would be good to have something about the building/space as lots of people won’t know it… e.g. Floorplan, photos, …
  • Definitely want Bunting and party atmosphere stuff
  • We could try hang a flag as discussed before.
  • Questions:
    • What could this be? (More important than “what this was”)
    • We need to make sure that it’s focused on finding out what what people want
    • Oppositional vs propositional approach discussed
  • Discussed tweaks to poster, and to share and put up
  • Put together a Google Doc with what we need
  • Reach out to neighbours of 100TG. Key stakeholders, and could be useful for event(s).
