Hi Anne and all

I’d love to be involved in the cooking group but have no time for it at the moment, but am happy to read what you are up to. 

Regarding the kitchen fit out. Thank you Roz for getting the extensive list of prices from Southern Hospitality. It is very useful and we still use it. 

The BCG/UCOL committed following money from contingency: The kitchen will have a vinyl floor (installed already), has gas, electricity, and plumbing where we need it, will be painted with top coat. We have ordered a 900 wide F&P gas stove/electric oven and a 1200 wide domestic range hood, which S&W will install (provided they arrive in time). We will build the servery bench out of old school doors. 

The BCG has earmarked money from contingency for the following as stage 2: about $10,000 for a wash station incl sink and commercial ‘pass through’ dish washer. We may also want a central workbench for about $2,000. 

There are about $30,000 more needed to complete the kitchen and we need tables and chairs and crockery....

Regards Rainer
