Just a brief reminder for everyone that is using GAOS HQ. HQ is used by many different groups at this time. It would be much appreciated if everyone can contribute a little bit to keeping the place tidy and in good order. Be considerate to others by running the dishwasher if it's full and emptying it if you find it clean. The bins can be emptied - general waste, cardboard and glass recycling skips are available across the loading bay (the general waste and carboard have key codes which are written on the barn notice board). If the waste is taken down to the bottom back corridor, then many hands make light work of taking it to the skips when the rehearsal ends and people leave. It is also not forbidden to use the vacuum cleaner!
Our photographer, Sylvain, is running his business from HQ, so people shouldn't be going in and out of the main room during the day. The calendar for HQ occupation is available in the members' area of the website. Relying on everyone being flexible (everyone is).
The reason for not parking in the loading bay (including alongside the large wall of the building) is that during the recent fire next door, the emergency services had trouble to access because of trucks parked in the way. These trucks also got damaged during the fire, and the insurance did not want to cover it, arguing they should not have been parked there. Free parking is available on the street, but you need to put out your disc (time limit is 15 hours).
