Paint prices and kiwibank account number sent
by Jan Burch 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Hi folks Everyone (except Jess and James) should have received an email from me with paint cost and the bank account for payment. If you haven't received it, please reply to me now and I'll send by return email. Jess and/or James, it's not that you don't also have to pay, it's just that I couldn't find your email address(es). If you would email me back I'll make sure that you get yours too. I haven't put when the money is due because I am not actually sure, but someone can ask that question on Thursday :-) See you then Jan

Re: [Ucol-shareholders] commercial kitchen

Hi Roz thanks for getting this started. sounds like its not straight forward, am particularly worried about commercial extraction… I think the advice Justin is giving regarding commercial vs high quality domestic should not be overlooked. Perhaps we might go with a F&P appliance, especially now that we have a commercial account with them. This thing looks good to me and we may get it for $4000 from F&P. https://www.smythsliving.co.nz/products/f-p-or90sdg6x1-freestanding-cooker-… <https://www.smythsliving.co.nz/products/f-p-or90sdg6x1-freestanding-cooker-…> I had a chat with a friend who has been in the food industry for 30 years (Pasta D’ORO, now Artisan food), who asked me, ‘who is designing the kitchen?’. Anyhow, she suggested to talk to Southern Hospitality to talk things over regarding our requirements. She said they are staffed by ex chefs. And of cause they are local. https://www.southernhospitality.co.nz/ <https://www.southernhospitality.co.nz/> Can someone team up with Roz and perhaps make an appointment with southern hospitality??? Our kitchen plan and that we may cook for 40 people is a good starting point. regards Rainer Please call me if you need an urgent reply.

Have asked him to do an estimate of the cost of using stainless steel benches but, from what he says, we need to rethink the appliances to make sure we do want to go commercial.

Scott Willis and James Shaw would like to visit the UCOL site on Monday.
by Alex King 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Scott Willis (Green Party candidate for Taieri) and James Shaw would like to visit the cohousing site on Monday morning to meet a few cohousing people and talk about cohousing and "minigrid" (electricity supply options), and renewable elecricity. The Green party are enthusiastic about cohousing, they want to "Ensure regulatory frameworks support the development of innovative co-housing initiatives." ( from https://www.greens.org.nz/housing_2020). Scott told me he'd like to see another 5 or 6 cohousing initiatives take off in Dunedin in the next few years. If anyone wants to come and have the discussion with Scott and James, or if you have any other thoughts, let me know. It's all being arranged at the last minute, I still need to confirm with S&W etc. Thanks, Alex
